10 KENSINGTON HOLDS ARMORY CEREMONY Gov. Rllchle Speaks as New Buuldmg Is Turned Over Calling upon the citizens to dedicate | their new armory not alone 1o the | uses of the National Guard, but also “to the high and lofty heritages with which we are so richly endowed in Maryland,” Gov. Albert C. Ritchie yesterday afternoon delivered the chief Baddress at the dedication ceremonies of the new National Guard Armory at Kensington. Kiven though introduced as “the next President” the governor declined to “talk politics,” confining himself to an enumeration of the two main pur- poses which the new armory would serve. The first of these, he said, was to provide adequate housing for the local howitzer company anti other Na- tional Guard units, which the speaker | {anded as the Nation's greatest emer- gency defense. The second was to meet the needs of the community, Gov. Ritchie said, calling attention 1o the fact that the building would con- tain the offices of the mayor and coun- eil, the quarters for the VlullIv:P}: fire department and recreational facilities. Parade Opens Ceremony. The dedication exercises followed & parade, composed of the local National Guard unit, American Legion officials, veterans of the Spanish-American War and the Kensington and Rock- ville fire departments. The Ist In- fantry band headed the column. Gov. Ritchie and his staff reviewed the parade from the front of the armory, and at its conclusion the soldiers, officials and public, in all numbering about 500, assembled in the main drill hall for the dedication teremonies. Raymond 1.. Burgdorf, commander of the Arnold Wilburn Post of the American Legion, under whose aus- pices the ceremonies were held, pr sided. Dr. Lucien B. Ernest, mayor of Kensington and a lieutenant in the Howitzer Company, 1st Regiment, Maryland National Guard, delivered the address of welcome to Gov. Ritchie mnd the audience, reminding his hearers that Kensington was the smal'est town in Maryland to possess an armory. Following_Gov. Ritchie's address, Brig. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, adju- tant general of Maryland, command- ing the 58th Infantry Brigade, made the formal presentation of the armory to Capt. Clarence V. Sayer, comman- der of the Howitzer Company. As soon as Gen. Reskord made the actual pres- entation, the company, which had been standing at ease in the rear of the hall, was marched before the stage, under the command of Lieut. David Parsons, and stood at attention as Capt. Sayer made his speech of acceptance. Citizen Soldiers Lauded. Capt. Sayer was followed by Col. D. John Markey, commander of the | 1st Infantry Regiment, Maryland Na- tional Guard, and a past commander, department of Maryland, the Ameri ean Legion, who spoke of the prom- dnent part the *“citizen soldiers” of the State had played in all the wars in which America had participated. The only flaw in the celebration was that the heating apparatus of the armory failed and Gov. Ritchie and others in the building remained in Eheir overcoats during the ceremonies. The celebration was brought to a rlose with a band concert, reception Gov. Ritchie and dance in the armory last night. The howitzer company is seven years old. At one time it had 711 ‘sets of brothers in its membership, | ,four of them from one family. e IMELLON ATTACKS U. S.

The annual exhibition sale of ar- ticles made by the patients of the oc- cupational therapy department of Walter Reed Hospital, which was held st Friday, netted approximately $700, according to Miss Inez Borland, aide in that department. The exhibi- tion room, in Building 95, was well filled from the opening at 10 a.m. until noon and again from 6 p.m. until the display closed at 10 o'clock that night. Although it is not generally known, sale of these articles is made throuzh- out the yvear and orders are taken by the patlents, who make them as or- dered. Proceeds®from the sales go (o the maker and thus give him a chance | to earn while he is in the hospital. | The cause Is deserving and it is the | desire of those in charge of the work | that the public be notified of the purpose, Besides giving the patient a sou of income, the largest item lies in the fact that as they work they are helping to recover from their injur The patients are put in departments where the work that they do will strengthen the injured muscles.
