BATTERY C 252(1 C.A. T.D. BANQUET On Saturday evening, April 5th, Bat tery C, 252d C.A., Greensboro, N. C., held their annual banquet, followed by a dance sponsored by the 2d Battalion 252d C.A. The banquet and dance were held at the King Cotton Hotel. At the banquet were so many officers and men, as well as city and county officials and prominent citizens, that the writer cannot remember all of them, but the following is a partial list: Major General B. G. Peyton, Com manding General 30th Division; Gen eral J. Van B. Metts, the Adjutant SQUADRON COMMANDER AP PROVES “It is with much enthusiasm that I received your announcement of the proposed publication of a monthly magazine devoted to matters of in terest to the North Carolina National Guard. “I heartily endorse the plan of pub lishing a magazine of this type, and feel that while it will be very interest ing and create a lot of enthusiasm in the Guard, it will also be of material benefit, as w’e can always learn some thing from the other fellow, by know ing what your neighbor organization is doing will tend to make each unit strive to do a little better. “It so happens that this Squadron (3d Squadron 109th Cavalry) due to its geographical location and the fact that our Regimental Headquarters is in Tennessee, feels at times as though we were more or less an orphan to the North Carolina National Guard. So you can readily see why we are very anxious for a magazine of this kind, in order that we may know more about our neighbor State Guardsman, and also to let him know that we are in existence. “Sincerely hoping that the magazine will be a great success, I am, “Yours truly, E. P. Coston, Major, 109th Cav., N.C.N.G.” Major Coston, after reading your let ter we could hardly wait to get the first issue off the press and send you one. Sure hope you like it.
