Following the induction of Company A, Freeport's own unit,
of the First Separate Battalion* New York State Guard, in the high
school gymnasium Monday night, Brig. Gen. E. M. Podeyn, the
commanding officer, told the men they might be the first troops
to engage the enemy if it attempted an invasion. "You are our
first line of defense/* he added.
The exercises were to have been@
held on the playgrounds, but the
downpour forced a change and the
gymnasium was used instead. Gen.
Podeyn was assisted in the exer-cises
by Lieut. Col. Otis L. Guern-sey,
of the brigade staff; Major
William C. Aheam, commander of
the battalion; Major George Saw-yer,
and Capt. John Roger Che-valier,
who will command the lo-cal

speaking briefly to every
man, and at the conclusion as the
company was called to attention,
be said:
speeches on such occasions as this.
The time is much* too serious. But
I want to tell you I am delighted
wlch your spirit. I didn't expect
to se you all in uniform nor to
see so many of you. You may be
the first troqps to engage the en-emy
if it should, attempt an In-vasion
of our shores. You are our
Rrst line of defense."
Mayor Worden E. Winne also
spoke briefly, saying It was a pleas-ure
to see "you in action." He too
said the sight exceeded his ex-pectations,
congratulated the men
and said Freeport would be proud
of them.
