The road leads direct to Trenton.
We stop for a moment or two at
Washington Crossing, the identical
spot where Washington crossed the
Delaware on his historic raid on the
Hessian mercenaries.
From here we continue along the
state highway to Trenton, capital
of the state. Not only is Trenton
famous for historical lore, but it is
the center of the American pottery
industry.
Moving ON once again we soon
reach Burlington. So much history
was made in Burlington, that the
tourist will find it somewhat diff
cult to leave, but leave we must,

was announced that a Legionaire,
the same man who organized the
Ventnor Posts corps, had offered
his services to Mainland Post in
the organization of it's buglers and

group will be ready to play at Le-

several months.
Simon NJ Horstick, superintend-
ent of the city schools, and a mem
Der of the Legion, spoke to the
members on education, and how the
Legion could aid educators in fur
thering it's cause. Mr.. Horstick's
. talk came as an appropriate side
light on the naming of the Posts
educational committee, of which
Adjutant Warren E. Davis is chair
man.
Mr.. Horstick stressed the value
of Legion cooperation with the
schools. and demonstrated how
members of the organization could
make Memorial Day and Armistice
Day observances in the schools
more interesting and more educa-
tionally beneficial to school child

County Commander Waas, in a
talk which followed the installation

spirit and its work for the commu.

offered as a prize to the post which
does the greatest good for its COM

The meeting was followed by the
serving of supper by the mem
bers of the Post Auxiliary.
