PAGE EIGHTTRAVELS FAR TO TRAINING CAMPKenneth Eads Returns From Distant Points for ManeuversBy KEN POSTLETH WAITEWith the 35th Division. Wahkon, Minn., Aug. 18.—Company M of the 137th infantry, from Lawrence, claims the record for having a guardsman who has travelled further to come to the annual encampment than any other man in the guard. Kenneth Eads. 22. son of John R. Eads, an employee at Haskell Institute, has attend :d eight guard camps with the Lawrence comnany.This year Eads came un to Lawrence from Panama. Canal Zone, to join Company M and attend the army maneuvers herc._H«» was employed there bv the U. S. department of interior.In 1939 the traveling guard was in Yukon. Alaska when camp time approached. He left his job as a safety man in a logging camp and arrived just in time to go for the annual training period with the guard.In 1938 Eads came from Denver. Colo.: 1937. Gallup. N. M.: 1936. Cherokee. N. C.: 1935, Phoenix. Ariz.; and 1934. Portland. Ore.Young Eads, a Kaw Indian, also has been in every state of the Union and has attended school in six different states. His travel record includes, of all things, commuting for weekly guard drills at Lawrence from Ponca Citv. During the winter of 1937-38. he missed less than he!f a dozen of the armory meeting'.A brother of Eads. .Tack, Is also with Comnany M here this month. He is serving as a platoon sergeant.But Kenneth Eads lacks much of being the oldest camper at the maneuvers. M company has three 15-year men among the enlisted men: Supply Sergeant Henry Wilson. Mess Sergeant Tom Beene and Private Eugene Daniels have attended 15 of the encampments. First Sergeant Ed Young is approaching the 20-year mark. Capt. C. W. Allphin and Lieutenants Shore and Babb also are habitual campers.Trivia: soldiers keep their personal belongings in barrack bags— laTge denim sacks. To locate any small article in one of the sacks is a time-taking effort. The boys have taken a cue from the stories of the maneuvers and now say. when referring to something lost in the mysterious depths of their sacks. “Lock in my ‘somewherc-in-Minnesota.' ”Private Charles Crowder has a beautiful collection of poison oak— he thought it was wild strawberry. Private Richard Olmstead has been taken to the base hospital at Ona-mia with a slight case of flu. The thermometer here has been in the lower 50c for the past three days. The boys have been wearing their woolen uniforms, sweaters and raincoats and still shiver. Those that had them are wearing their long undies.At church this morning Gen. R. F. Truman announced that in all probability the 35th division would be mobilized some time betweenSeptember 17 and October 1. At the present time the mobilization point is designated as Camp Joseph T. Robinson, near Little Rock, Ark.Elliott Mcsley, assistant company M clerk, will be kept busy the next few days making copies of the commendation, which was given Company M and the third battalion of the 137th Infantry by Gen. P. P. Bishop, for the Lawrence soldiers. They are mighty proud of being a part of the group that received the only honor-citaticn handed down in 20 years from corps headquarters.Privates Bumgardner and Tillot-son from Company M. and Privates Firner and Brooks of Company H gel up earlier than anyone else from Lawrence. The boys are buglers and blow reveille to wake up the rest cf the camp. They also attend bugle school for tvo hours every morning so they will be able to make their sleep-breaking noises with finer technique.sheviskullI nicka treat ver\ repor Jar tarv ■said 'the tCitv T lost I those cour* -is cc also say t Dr neun uni vi non Mexi rowTVTROTSKY ATTACKED Hu,tWITH AXE IN HOME(Continued from taae 1)Mrs. Trotsky screamed don't kill him.
