HOME GUARD ANOTHER GOOD PARADE. ("Times-Age'' Special.) The Greytown unit of the Home Guard paraded on Wednesday evening. There was an excellent attendance and a pleasing feature is that those who are unable to be present are letting the commander know the reason for their absence. Seventeen new members were enrolled and this brings the strength to near the 250 mark. During the evening training was given in company and squad drill, map reading and visual training. In anticipation of an issue of ammunition, a start is to be made with aiming tests and rifle range discipline.
