Flag Day Celebration

On Saturday, June 18th, Tennent

Revolution, made their annual pill
grimage to old Tennent Church, and
held their Flag Day meeting Mon
mouth Chapter S. A. R., Westfield
Chapter s. A. r., Monmouth Chap
ter, d. A. r., and Monmouth Court
House Chapter d. A. r., were guests
of Tennent Chapter as well as a number
of people from Freehold and near by
towns.
The members of Tennent Chapter,
with their guests, marched up the aisle
of the church to the strains of ''Tenting
tonight on the old Camp Ground"
Mrs. Harold Warren at the organ.
Mrs. w. F. Dav preceded the pro-
cession, bearing the American Flag.
Invocation by the Rev. John Love.
The Regent, Mrs. JOS. A. Reid,
opened the meeting with selection
from the D. A. r ritual.
The Rev. John Love read an
original poem "A tribute to our Flag
The Salute to the Flag was led
by Mrs. Henry s. White, who is the
author of the salute used at our
d. A. r. meetings.
Miss Alice MacLean sang columbia
the gem Of the Ocean"
Judge Walter Taylor gave greetings
from the S. A. r., to which the Regent
responded.
Judge Ruff v. Lawrence made a
very fine address stressing the necessity
of the S. A. RS and d. A. RS doing
their bit to help those of Foreign birth.
The Daughters have and are doing a
wonderful work in Americanization
both at Ellis Island and Angel Island on
the Pacific coast as well as locally.
DR.. Thomas Pratt, President protein
of the S. AR, gave short talk and
pledged cooperation with the D. A. RS

Spangled Banner;

ton and the Flag Day Meeting came
to an end.

Old Colonial Records

The Public Record office at Trenton,
through DR.. Carlos E. Godfrey, its
Director, has recently procured from the
State of New York, thirty photostaIlic
PAGES of the original manuscript, Pro-
ceed.ngs and laws of ths Colony of
East New Jersey during its legislative
session held at Elizabeth from the
I'd to the 18th of June in 1850. The
discovery and reinforcement Of those
records are regarded by lawyers and
historians generally OF the ulInsst i'm
portance to the history of the State;par-
ticularly when the existance of this as
seInbly has hitherto been unknown,
and likewise unknown to Leaning and
Spicer in 1859 when they officially
published the Grants and Concessions
Of New Jersey"
The recovery of these papers, to-
geIher with those of the General As
sembly of West New Jersey FIR m
March 1915, 1856, discovered by DR..
Godfrey less than three years ago,
shows that the records of at least two
assemblies are omitted from the work OF
Leaning and Spicer. The recovery of
the proceedings of the last mentioned
assembly, particularly were extremely
valuable for the reason that these rec
ords we're the only ones in existence to
show that Gloucester County was orlgl-
nally established by legislative author
ity. This fact was only pointed out
by DR. Godfrey in, The New Jersey
Law Journal for November, 1929, but
he therein illustrated many errors and
omissions which he had casually found
in Leaning and Spicer's Grants and
Concessions" and declared that these
conditions not only impaired the value
OF that work but suggested the rim-
perative necessity for its revision I'M
der competent supervision.

an was equally as decisive Ger

Mathis had an unbeatable lead of
about 500 over his opponent Mrs.
Lila w. Thompson, assemblywoman.

widow Of your deceased friend" He
Immediately caught her eye, and IN
the most enthusiastic manner pressed
his hand upon his heart She burst
into tears and exclaimed: Il have now

A man, while In conversation with
Lafayette, observed he spoke the Eng
llsh language remarkably well: "And
why should I not" he replied, "being
an American just returned from long
visit to Eur0pe3'
when we took a glass Of wine In
company with several other men with
the general, previous to his landing at
the quarantine ground from the Cad
mus, egls ~ the party addressed him
both as marquis and general. and then
asked him which he preferred. He un-
hesltatlngly and emphatically repiieds
n en-, an American general"
