HOME GUARD
FIRST PARADE LAST NIGHT. STRENGTH NOW ABOUT 100. The first parade of the Masterton Home Guard unit held at the Drill Hall last evening, was a most successful one, 45 additional men being enrolled. This brings the strength of the guard to about 100. The area commander. Mr W. R. Birch, was in charge of the parade. It is expected that a further substantial addition to the membership of the guard will be made in the next week or two. The next parade of the Home Guard will be at the Drill Hall on Thursday, December 12. Last evening was fully occupied with attesting those joining the guard. Supplies of armlets are now in hand and these will be issued to the men at an early date.
