N. C. NATIONAL GUARDSMAN not reenlist. The army call, however, was so great that he reenlisted im mediately after camp last year and will be seen at Camp Glenn again this year. FIRST SfiBGEAlVT RUNS FOR CONSTABLE 1st Sgt. Battle Wheeler of Company “D,” 120th Inf., is now running for constable of Durham Township. Wheeler is making a good run and the Company is supporting him. Wheeler has been a member of Com pany “D” lor about seven years. He is perhaps one of the best known en listed men in the 120th Inf. He is especially remembered for his work as judge of the Kangaroo Court at Camp Glenn.

Let us know in the next issue.) house. In extending the invitation to the company, Mr. White declared that “we are taking this means to express our appreciation lor what your or ganization is doing for this com munity and the young men of the community.’’ Clifton Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. N. Thomas, of Asheboro, has been accepted for enlistment in Head quarters Company, 3rd Bn. 120th Inf. Several other young men are on the waiting list and will be accepted into the unit when vacancies are available. In Hospital 1st cl. private, John W. Phipps was back at drill last drill night after an absences of two weeks, due to the fact that he had been in the hospital re cuperating from injuries he had re ceived in an automobile accident. The company’s armory was used Tuesday evening, April 8, by the con gregation of the Asheboro Presby terian church for a “congregational party.” Lieut. C. J. Lovett, command ing the company, was called on for the speech of welcome, and served as one of the three judges for the stunts which served as a part of the enter tainment for the evening. The company has purchased through personal and public contributions ath letic equipment for the armory and has installed a creditable gymnasium. Non-commissioned officers’ schools are held each Friday evening at 7:30 o’clock, attendance on part of the non-coms being compulsory. By au thority of company order, any non commissioned officer who misses two of these schools in succession without valid and satisfactory reason is auto matically demoted.

Headquarters Company, 3rd Bn. 120th Inf., attended the showing of “The Cock Eyed World,” a story of soldiers, written by a soldier, Laurence Stal lings, at the Sunset Theatre Friday evening, April 18, as guests of Mr. J. F. White, Jr., owner of the White Amusement Company, operators of the theatre. The company attended in uniform and made a splendid showing and impression before a capacity On the Thursday night before our annual Federal Inspection, May 8th, the whole gang is having a smoker and Dutch Supper. (No, Rufus, that doesn’t mean that each man pays his whole share—this is on the Company). Sort of makes a fellow feel like the Thanksgiving Turkey. Entertainment will be in charge of Sergeants Chap lain and Bernstein, and they’re promis ing a hot-time-in-the-old-town affair. On Friday night. May 9th, we are privileged to have as our honor guest. Captain Page, the Inspecting Officer. Many of us will recall his visit of last year with much pleasure. It is our opinion that our own Cap tain Boyette is due for much chest expansion that night, for every man says he’s prepared to “do his stuff.” And after the Battle of Wits, comes the Battle of the Mahogany, and take it from us that’s going to be some dance. As has been the custom for the past few years, the Engineers and Band are holding their inspections in conjuction with ours. Good music, en tertainers, and what-have-you. We dis like to belittle any body’s rank, but there’s going to be so many Generals and Colonels present that the Captains will not fail to realize that the Stars outshine the Bars. Boy! what will we, poor enlisted men, mean that night. THAT’S ALL. HORNETS NEST RIFLEMEN UOMFANY F 120TH INFANTRY CHARLOTTE, N. C. Greetings, fellow guardsmen, from the old reliable Company F.

The Hornets Nest Riflemen, as a member of the Centennial Legion, composed of the oldest companies in each of the thirteen original States, have been honored by the City of Charleston as the recipients of an in vitation to attend their 250th Anni versary Celebration. However, to the disappointment of the outfit, we were unable to accept. Perhaps we shall make the trip to Boston to attend the celebration there Lt.

Culbreth, Com mander of Co. M 120th Inf. N.C.N.G., turns his attention to plans for getting his men in shape for the Annual En campment this summer.
