The North Carolina National Guardsman VoL. I Raleigh, N. C., May, 1930 No. 1 COAST AETILLEBY REGIMENT CHANGED The 252(1 Coast Artillery Regiment has been converted from Harbor De fense to Tractor Drawn, 155mm Gun Regiment.

The regiment will still go to Port Moultrie for their annual encampment, and six of their guns, with appurte nances will be stored at Port Moultrie the year round, in order that they will not have to move this heavy equipment to and from camp. Each firing battery will have one gun and one tractor at their home station. The band. Headquarters Battery and Battery A, are located at Wilmington, N. C.

A Sure Sign “How’s the public sentiment out here?” asked the politician who was passing through a rural community. “Still going strong,” answered the native. “There was sixteen cars parked in my lane last night.”— American Legion Monthly. ON THE WEARING OF UNIFORMS The following is an editorial which appeared in a recent issue of the Fifth Corps Area News, published at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind.: “It has taken the Militia Bureau three years to hoard up enough money to supply the National Guard with the new olive drab roll collar uniform. That has now been accomplished and everybody is proud of them. The first pictures that have come out show a marked improvement in the outfits. They are all dolled up in fine shape and there is no one thing that will go so far to create a good impression in the eyes of the public. “Every soldier owes himself and his organization a sense of pride in hie personal appearance., It is this feature that the people take into account in large measure in estimating a man’s character. If he is indifferent and careless in his outward appearance they say he is likely to be the same in his other habits of life. “A National Guard outfit makes or breaks itself in the minds of the com munity on its appearance when it turns out in formation. The people as a rule know nothing of its training and readiness for service. They judge it solely on appearance. “The mere wearing of the roll collar blouse will not accomplish everytning that is desired. There are other fea tures of the uniform that must be at tended to. There are a few simple rules that will go a long ways toward the desired end. “First, keep your uniform clean, neatly pressed and in good repair. A lot may be accomplished towards this by taking a little time at the termina tion of a formation to put the uni forms away carefully so they will be ready for use the next time they are required. Throwing them down in the clothing storage room will soon ren der them unlit for dress-up occasions. “Second, nniform appearance may be obtained by having every button and ornament on in its proper place, end all shined np bright. These things need constant attention and they are the ones most often neglected. (Continued, on page four)
