Theatre Today
Story OF Guard In Peace
And War Will Cover
The Many Activities
OF The Guard Since
It's Earliest Days.

The recently released film, Your
National Guard, to be shown in
Milford this weekend through the
courtesy of Schine's New Milford
Theatre, is a story of the Guard in
peace, in war, and in training. 1t
covers various activities of the
National Guard since its birth dur
ing the colonial days to the present.
1t brings out the importance of the
National Guard. both as a force
ready to serve the State and Com
munity in time of local disaster or
emergency and as one available to
defend the nation in times of dis
tress.
The film, produced with the aid
of prominent motion picture stu
diOs and many we'll known movie
actors, is designed tO bring to the
public a history Of their National
Guard and it's service to the COM
munity and nation.
The showing of this film is in
direct support of the campaigns be-
ing conducted by Hq. Battery, 160th
Anti-Aircraft Artillery Group and
Battery c, of the 945th AAA Auto
matte Weapons Battalion, stationed
at the Milford Armory, to increase
their strength prior to the time
that Universal Military Training
laws go into effect. At the present
time only men between II and 1872
years and over 26 can be enlisted
with any assurance that they will
not be called by Selective Service.
A new age field has been opened
recently, permitting enlistment OF
men up to 4C years of age with no
prior service required. Men over
As but not over Sc can be enlisted,
providing they have at least one
year of honorable service in a
component of the Armed Forces of
the United States or it's territories.
An item of interest to merchants
and business men of Milford is the
fact that the Milford units of the
Delaware National Guard and the
permanent employees at the Mil
ford ArmOry, during the year Of
1851 enriched the Golfers of the
various business houses by an eS-
timated S65, 100000, which includes
only drill pay and salaries. This
item is submitted in support of the
old adage that THE proof is in
the pudding.
Your National Guard is definite
ly an asset to the community. Your
support IS a wise investment il
yours and your communities fu
ture.

THberCULGr Deaths
At NeLU State Lou
Is Pct. Drop In Deaths;
Fewer Cases Recorded
In Year 1851

tuberculosis in Delaware last
year took a toll of 60 lives, desorib-
ed by Dr. Floyd l. Hudson, secre-
tary Of the State Board of Health,
as "a new all-time low record for
tuberculosis deaths in Delaware"
This figure of TB deaths, made
public for the first time, represents
a reduction of Is per cent compar-
ed with the II deaths in Delaware
in 1850.
DR.. Hudson also reported that
last year was the first time since
the current case-finding program
was started, in which there has
been a substantial decrease in the
number of new reported tuberculO-
sis cases. He considers this an in
dication that the TB control mea-
sures now in effect "are extremely
effective"
An indication of the steady drop
in TB deaths in Delaware over a
long range period is shown in the
fact that in 1924, there were eos TH
deaths in Delaware.
According to the figures recently
compiled by Dr. Hudson, last years
TB death rate was 1875 per 100000
of the states population as com.
pared with 223 for 1850.
"Ten years ago." DR.. Hudson
added. there were 1873 TB deaths
in Delaware with a resultant NOR.
tality rate of 507.. Compared witt
1851, this represents a reduction o.
65.5 per cent.
Delaware ranks extremely wei
among all the other states. The ma
tional rate for 1850 was 222. Neigh
