With an enthusiasm, which carried 
“the members of the home guard com- 
mittee of the Manchester Public 
Safety committee off their feet, and 
threatened to swamp the enrolling 
officers, the men of Manchester turn- 
ed out on Wednesday evening for the 
formation of a home guard. Over 
150 men enrolled for home duty—153 
to be exact. Compared with the show- 
ing in nearby cities and towns Man- 
chester has reason to be proud. 
The meeting in Town hall was at- 
tended by over 200 men of all ages. 
Raymond C. Allen, chairman of the 
~ committee explained the purposes of 
the gathering, which was to form a 
purely voluntary organization for lo- 
cal defense. It was expected that 
probably about 60 would enlist and 
that the guard would be composed of 
married men under 35 and all others 
over that age who cared to join. 
Chairman R. C. Allen explained 
that membership in the state guard 
would not be obligatory upon those 
who enrolled for home service. The 
response to the request for enroll- 
ment was astonishing. Practically 
every man in the hall who was physi- 
cally fit, and eligible otherwise for 
service, responded and the members 
of the committee had a bad half hour 
_ while the line pressed forward. 
George D. Haskell, janitor of Town 
hall, had the distinction of being the 
oldest man volunteering. He gave his 
age as 69. There were others over 
60. If any of the men who enrolled 
- on Wednesday do not find their names 
in the ‘list appended, they should 
notify the committee at once. 
So many responded that it was 
deemed advisable to split them into 
two companies, one of which will be 
drilled on Monday evening of each 
week and the other on Wednesday 
evening. There are many other men 
who wish to join the organization, but 
who could not attend the meeting and 
they can enroll by getting in touch 
with the committee. As soon as the 
list is card-indexed, notices will be 
sent to the men of the night they are

week in Town hall. The drilling of-

and Charles P. Savary, assistants.
