Brooklawn American Legion Post 72 recently sent eight delegates to the 64^th Session of American Legion Jersey Boys State at Rider University.

Legion Program Chairman Ted Howarth said Boys State developed from the concept that youth should be offered a better perspective of the practical operation of government.

American Legion Boys is an activity of high educational value, born out of the need for youth training in practical citizenship.

Qualified male high school juniors get a chance to take part in a practical government course. It develops in young citizens a working knowledge of government structure.

Howarth said the programs are governed by a set of standards geared to meet certain objectives.

Children from Saint Mary Grammar School Fourth Grade Class took a cruise on Gloucester City’s schooner The NorthWind on June 16th. Twenty six children and their teacher, along with two adult chaparones enjoyed the field trip on the Delaware River.

The children learned a little about ecology, history and sailing. Some of the sites they saw included Fort Nassau, the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Red Bank Battlefield and Fort Mifflin.
