Show Unit comprised of various local tradesmen; some with families Springville will bid farewell to its National Guard Unit the 116th Engineers, (Light Equip-ment Company) when it leaves for active service service October 1. The call to active duty came as a shock to many even as they read of the critical time in which the nation is passing. It was not only a surprise to the men but to their families and to their employers though all realized the responsibility they held as members of the Guard. The Springville unit was ma-king preparations for their an-nual encampment and part of the equipment had been trans-ported to Camp Williams, when the call came. They are back and forth to Camp Wil-liams this week, transporting the equipment back to the Ar-mory as the encampment has been canceled. The guard will go to Fort Lewis, Wash., one of the five units in the state called to active duty. The unit is commanded by Captain Cyril P. Thompson, who resides at Mapleton and is an employee at Geneva Steel Plant. He and his wife have five children. Seven full-tim- e There are seven full-tim- e employees at the Armory, Chief Warrant Officer Robert Bringhurst, who has six sons and daughters, the eldest of whom is presently serving hia six months at Fort Ord, Calif. Officer Robert and son Allan are the only father and son combination in the local guard unit. Sgt. Dean Tipton, another full-tim- e employee has three children; SFC Frank Hunt, three and there are others with similar families. They are hoping to be able to have their families with them in the Northwest but nothing definite has been arranged to date. Sgt. Tipton is administrative specialist and in addition to those named there are SFC Calvin Hjorth, Staff Sgt. Ger- - aid Argyle, Staff Sgt. Boyd Hardin and Sgt. Luther Rode- - baugh all full time employees. A majority of the Guard is single men but there are a large number married. One man is from Mt. Pleasant; one from Spanish Fork and nnp from Orem. Officers have not received word concerning how much or how equipment will be trans-ferred to Fort Lewis. They are receiving instruction daily concerning details of activa- - tion and from now until Oct. 1 will be a busy time with training maneuvers and getting personal affairs in readiness for leaving. The unit is currently at a high-lev- el of training opera-tions and will be in good shape to enter active duty, officers observed. Organized The unit was organized as a light equipment company on March 19, 1948. It was pre-viously Company A, 1457th Engineers Battalion which ser- - ved in World War n. Cross-sectio- n The company comprises a cross-sectio- n of employees in-cluding barbers, teachers, me-chanics, students and construc-tion workers. A majority per-haps are construction men which is possibly responsible for the organization of the out-fit as a light equipment con-struction unit. Several of the men are veterans of World War II. The unit is equipped to do light construction work such as road building, road and air strip construc-tion. Other units from Salt Lake, Murray, Tooele, Heber, Vernal are included in those called for active duty. This is not the first time the civilian soldiers have been called to active duty but citi-zens always hope it will be the last. The Springville Guard boys missed the Korean war and the town was grateful and with their departure at this critical time, will go the best wishes of the citizenry for a safe return soon.
