Its tradition of citizen-soldiers, serving their homeland in times, of ‘emergency, goes back to 1636 in Massachusetts, when the Old North Regiment was formed from several train bands. In Puerto Rico, the present Guard units trace their ancestry back to 1510, when Ponce de Leon commanded “a citizen*company for the island’s defense. Five presidents have been members of the Guard. Washington was a lieutenant colonel in the Virginia Regiment at the time of Braddock’s Defeat, Jackson led 2,000 militiamefh against the British in 1812. Lincoln commanded a militia company in the Black Hawk War. Chester Arthur was Quartermaster General of the New York Militia in. the Civil War. President Truman was a4 National Guard artillery captain in World War I. The history of each of the 48 states is dotted with the names of its sons who have served as citizen-soldiers, both at home and abroad. The service to state and nation is a constant. source of pride. In war, the National Guard has fought in our major battles, from In peace, the National Guard hia fought fire and flood, bringing Lexington and Concord to Manila. f COUNTY 2ND IN APPLES, 1ST IN GEMS AT STATE FAIR SACRAMENTO: Nevada County won three awards in the field of sectional exhibits of forty counties in the Agriculture Building at the California State Fair in Sacramento.
