Legion Sets Dates For Boy's State Encampment
Sacramento youths totaling about 750 from most high schools will gather at Grant Union College June 22 to 29 for the annual Boys State Encampment. Local selections were made by Department Commander R. Bob Snyder and Adjutant Homer L. Chaillaux of the American Legion, which has sponsored the event before the war. California posts are choosing candidates to represent their communities as part of a nationwide citizenship effort. The movement, discontinued during the war, is being welcomed as schools resume activities for high school boys.
