Mgn. tn'SXf American Legion LUH Activity lB~:iboking beck over work accomplished, the No. 56, American Legion, feels that the most outstanding activity was the presentation of the matter of sending our boys off to camp feeling Clinton* was back of them. With the aid of other local organizatkoi a supper was arranged, many gifts presented, including a splendid radio which boys returning on week-ends say is placed in their mess-hall and is play^ during meals and at other times. Also, the Clinton post sponsored the sending of a boy to Palmetto Boys’ State, an organization that is not a school but a practical experi ence for boys under 18 years of age to learn the problems of self govern ment as it is operated in South Car olina. Thirty-four states took part in this activity in 1940 and i«esent outlook is for 48 states to take part this year. —F. M.
