IS still in existence today. The
National Guard of the state dur
ing peace time is commanded by
the Governor of the state. It is
ready to act on his order in event
OF a state emergency such as fires.
floods, or other c~atastrophy. It is
organized the same as comparable
Federal units, trains with federal
equipment, trains in subjects out
lined by Federal directives. Dur
ing a national emergency the state
Guard can be called by congress
to the defense of the nation. When
called by Congress the command
OF the State Guard is vested in
the Federal Government and it
becomes the National Guard of
the United States, a component of
the Army Of the United States.
The name National Guard" has
an interesting historical begin
ming. In 1888 when the constitu-
ton was ratified the term State
Militia was used to identify what
IS now the National Guard. In
1924 the Marquis de Lafayette
honored this country with a return
visit. We owed a great debt to
Lafayette who served as a Major
General during the Revolutionary
War. On the occasion of his visit
a new Estates Militia Infantry
Battalion was being organized in
New York. It was suggested that.
since Lafayette had once COM
manded the French "Garde Ma
tionale," or National Guard. the
new battalion should be called
National Guard" in his honor.
This name belongs exclusively TO
the New York Unit until 1852
when all New York units were
called National Guards" The
name became popular and state
by state the term was adopted
and now the term is an official
designation of the militia of the
respective states.
Guard units have participated
in many history making episodes
in u country's span of existence.
Lineage, tradition and heritage
would fill volumes. The National
Guard is constitutionally and his
torically a part of the democracy
and of our free government in
the experimentation of either of
its two missions. ID as a state
"to provide sufficient or
ganization in each state, so train
ed and equipped as to enable
them to function efficiently at
existing strength in the protection
of life and property and the pres
ervation of peace, order and pub
lie safety, under competent or
ders of the state authorities" (2)
as a federal unit 'to provide units
Of the reserve components for the
army, adequately organized, train
ed and equipped, available for
mobilization in the event of ma
tional emergency or war" This
mission may include the defense
of critical areas of the United
against attack"

Union, was the featured speaker
at a meeting held at the Girl
Scout cabin Tuesday evening to
consider the organization Of =
Union Local in Sidney.

Potter, who also served as tenn
porary secretary. Green stated
that most of the state is already
organized except for the north
east corner. He stated that unions
are beneficial to employers and
to the public as well as to their
members because thew assure
competent workers, and make for
better relations and more salts
fled help. Better wages also pro
vide more consumer buying pow
er. He pointed out that it is the
duty of the worker to give value
received for his pay, and to prove
his value to the employer.
He said that many of the social
gains of the past few years had
their origins in union programs
and cited social security, unem-
ployment insurance, widows pen-
sions, and other programs as
proof.
He explained the procedure for
organizing a local union, mem
bership needed, dues to be paid,
and other points of interest to
the group. Those interested in
joining were told to contact Lane
Potter, who will serve as temper
airy secretary, and will provide ap-
plication cards. Names of appli-
cants will be held confidential,
and if enough persons wish to
join, Mr.. Green will return later
to assist in the details of organic
ing and setting up a local.
"A question and answer period
followed during which a number
of points were explained.

local unions also attended the
meeting. Marvin Berry and Lane
Potter, speaking for the Sheep
Shearers Union, pledged the help
of their group in organization.

National Guard Older Than u. s.;
Traced To State MiIitias

With the National Guard before
the people in the presidents re-
marks on reserve affairs and with
the local guard starting its re-
cruiting campaign, it is well tc
know the lineage of the National
guard.
National Guard history has a
prominent role in making the his
tory of the United States. The
rights and privileges we enjoy as
a democratic nation were, in many
cases, won for us by action of the
National Guard.
The National Guard traces its
lineage back to the old state mill
tlas. In the early days, before
the PRONUNCIATION of our present
form of government, the colonists
banded together in a militia for
mutual protection. This militia is
the concept of the guard today.
local Individuals organized for de-
tense and emergency.
The first type unit similar to
the modern National Guard was
organized in Puerto Rico from
1910 to 1885 by Ponce deLeon. The
295th Infantry of Puerto Rican
National Guard carries the mill
tary tradition of that Spanish
Colonial unit.
The first militia within the
English colonies was organized in
1886 at Middlesex, Mass, calling
itself the cold North Regiment"
1t fought in the French and In
dian War and four later wars. It
is now the 182d ~Inafntry of the
Massachusetts, National Guard. In
1862 the Charles River Herico
County Militia was formed. A
portion of this regiment merged
with the Virginia Militia Regi-
ment to resist the French in the
Ohio River Valley. A member of
this force was young 1t. George
Washington. During the Revolu-
tionary War the Charles River
Herico County Militia Regiment
commanded by Colonel Pat
rick Henry.
In addressing the First Con-
gress in 1887, President George
Washington said, every citizen
who enjoys the protection of a
free government owes not only
a portion of his property but even
of his personal services to the
defense of it." With this in mind
the Constitution had granted Con-
gress the power to provide for
calling forth the states militia to
execute the laws of the Union,
suppress Instructions and repel
ln~vasions," congress would also be
responsible for organizing, arm
ing, and disciplining the militia
and for governing such part of
them as may be employed in the
service of the United States" The
respective states would retain au-
to appoint officers and
to train the militia. George Wash
