Boys State has been a program of The American Legion since 1935, when it organized to counter the fascist-inspired Young Pioneer Camps The program was the idea of two Illinois Legionnaires, Hayes Kennedy and Harold Card, who organized the first Boys State at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield

The American Legion Auxiliary sponsors a similar program for young women called Girls State

At American Legion Boys State, participants are exposed to the rights and privileges, the duties

Continued from page 1 and the responsibilities, of a franchised citizen The training is objective and practical, with city, county, and state governments operated by the students elected to the various offices

Each Boys State participant will enter either the Federalist or Nationalist parties, respectively They will spend time in the State Capitol in Austin discussing legislation and going through the same procedures that an elected official would

Wilson was recommended by a former Boys State member from HHS who wanted to pay forward his experience to a future leader. Formally, he's being sponsored by the American Legion Post #194 in Anna

Varmint service

Young Beaudy Kuykendall has made quite the name for himself recently The son of Kasey and Tasha Kuykendall of Dorchester has no fear when it comes to dealing with snakes His mother says that he wanted to make it known that he'll come take care of any "varmints" for anyone

We're not sure of what the youngster charges for such a feat, but his services come complete with a snake apron and a lit helmet for dark and tucked away spaces

Kuykendall apparently is wellversed in the distinction of dangerous versus non-dangerous snakes But to many, they all seem to be a sight to run from A video posted on Facebook shows this young man easily handling this long non-venomous snake Apparently, the snakes are very prevalent at the Kuykendall family chicken coup Beaudy Kuykendall
