RITCHIE AT OPENING OF NEW STATE ARMORY Tells Cumberland Gathering Im- portance of Guard in Na- tional Defense. , December 5.— | home of Com- | 3 Guard, represent. | ing a cost of $86.000, was formally | opened tonight in the presence of Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and Adjt. Gen. | Milton A. Reckord and staff of the | National Guard. | A reception with dinner was given by the State Armory board. The ceremonies were preceded by a parade, | led by the Municlpal Band and par- | ticipated in by various organizations. | Gov. Ritchie said: “The National Guard is the main rellance of our country for self-defense.. Our policy is for a small standing army and in time of need that must be supple- mented. This is done by the Organ- ized Reserve and the National Guard, | but the former is but a skeleton or- zanization. The guard is the only size ready to come at once to the aid of the Regular Army. “There can be no such thing as preparedness under our military set- up unless every necessary thing is done to advance the effectiveness of the National Guard. “The Federal Government ought not to overlook this. But too much economy in the cause of the National Guard may cost.us dearly. The splen- aid armory will do much to increase the efficiency of the Cumberland com- pany and, of course, it will add greatly to the community life.” The opening -of the armory also: marked the opening of the community fair. —wlieai Three-Afths of those employed in automobile factories work fn Mich- igan. !
