CNB News Hound Attends Glenn Beck Rally
Chuck writes, \”This was the most exciting and enthusiastic rally that I have ever attended. It was truly a non political spiritual rally for restoring honor in our country and ourselves. It was such a pleasure to be surrounded by over 500,000 to 800,000 people with common interest in restoring honor to the USA. Glenn Beck was stating 300,000 people and I believe that he was being extremely modest.\”

Iron Jawed Angels
This is the story ……
of our Mothers and Grandmothers who lived only 90 years ago.
Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.
The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote.
And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden\’s blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of \’obstructing sidewalk traffic.\’

BELLMAWR NJ: A Blessing for Older Nuns
by Shelly Banjo
The Wall Street Journal…– WSJ.comMr. Lowry realized that the group of women, many of whom are in their 80s and 90s, needed more than just legal help: He and other residents of Barrington and Bellmawr, N.J. formed a charitable organization called Daughters for the Daughters of our Lady of the Sacred Heart with the goal of raising enough money to provide for the nuns for the duration of their lives. The first step was to install an elevator in the convent: Since the nuns\’ sleeping quarters were on the top floor, many of the older women could no longer easily climb three flights of stairs multiple times a day to eat and pray. Mr. Lowry enlisted volunteers and businesses from around the community to raise nearly $70,000 for the convent\’s restoration and senior-living retrofitting.
Area companies like Allied Elevator LLC., based in Pennsauken, N.J. and the International Union of Elevator Constructors, Local No. 5 of Philadelphia provided labor and materials to build the new elevator, which will be in working order as early as this month.

School Is Open, Drive Safely!
Dear Resident:
Â
On behalf of the Gloucester City Police Department, I hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer vacation. It is now time for a new school season with many new students going to school for the first time. We want to wish those new students well and most importantly we want them all to get to and from school safely.
Â
We are asking the motoring public to be mindful of the new laws regarding pedestrians in the cross walks and we also want the pedestrians to be aware of the proper locations to cross. All motorists must now stop completely for any pedestrian who is within a legal crosswalk. Failure to stop for a pedestrian can subject the motorist to a traffic citation. Likewise all pedestrians must use a crosswalk to cross the street. It is not permitted to cross the street in the middle of the block or any other area where there is no crosswalk. Pedestrians must also cross the street at a right angle and they cannot walk in the street.
