Legion Sponsored
Boys State Government
Gets Two I/oeal Envoys
Two Young Cameron citizens will
know more about the operation of
u state government when they com-
plete the Lone Star Boys State con-
vention in Austin, sponsored by the
American Legion.
The Cameron boys named by the
local Post of the Legion are Edward
Horstmann, son of Mr. and Mrs. 0.
B. Horstmann and Grady Allen, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Grady Allen, Sr.
Mr. and Mrs. Horstmann accom-
panied the boys to Austin.
In practically every State in the
United States the Boys’ State idea
has gone over big. It originated in
1935 with the idea of teaching a j
young boy how to be a good citizen. ^
Texas joined in the activities eight
years ago when 34 other States were
holding their Boys’ State meetings.
The boys, ull Seniors in high eschool
will form a government plan and
will fill the offices to be filled in this
governmental set-up. They will also
form the voting body at this 49th
State which exists only seven days of
the year.
The Americun Legion, which yearly
sponsors the event throughout the
nation, is pretty sure that letting the
boys carry out some legislation is u
sure-fire method of teaching them
that their Government is what they
make it.
When they arrive in Austin the
boys are escorted to the State School
for the Deaf, where they will live
during the week. Included on their
program besides the campaigning
for offices, elections, senate and

house sessions and a big inaugurul
ball for the boy elected governor, is
a visit to the Capitol where they
will meet the top men in Texas poli-
tics and get a few tips from thpm
on running their State Government.
A record attendance lust year of
14,223 boys at Boys’ States through-
out the United States is one example
of just how big the project is. Not
every boy is eligible to attend,
since the boys an* representing their
hometown school. They are chosen
for their ability to represent by the
principals of the schools.

From where I sit... ly Joe Marsh
Who is this Man?
Now and then, in the pages of
the Clarion, I run a biographical
quiz, under the heading of “Who
Is This Man?” For instance ...
“He was one of the earliest lov-
ers in American history...
“And yet he was too shy to court
a woman outright...
“He came to the New World on
the Mayflower...
“A cooper to repair the beer bar-
rels accompanying the Pilgrims...
“Who is this man?"
I thought that everybody was
stumped. But not Ma Hoskins, who
returned the clipping to me with
“John Alden” on it. She recognized
all the clues—including that refer-
ence to “beer” and “cooper.”
For Ma—who’s read her history,
knows that beer as the beverage
of moderation, ia as old in this land
of ours as the never-ending Ameri-
can search for tolerance which
brought the Pilgrima over to this
country in the first place.
