new troop committee was appointed,
consisting OF DR.. S. Temple, chair
man; L. B. Smith, M. Letter.
Mr.. Letter resigned in February,
1922. and A. L. Ramsay filled the
vacancy. Unfortunately DR.. Tenn
pie, living in Tottenville was not
able to devote the necessary time 20
the duties Of a committee man and
rendered his resignation. Mr..
Wiberalske consented to serve.
In fall 1922 the troop committee
met with the scoutmaster and assis-
tant scoutanaster and discussed plans
for the future. A regular program
was adopted and the troop com
mittee decided to meet every first
Thursday in the month.
Mr.. Peterson as we'll as Mr.. Nc
Hose were unable to do justice to
the various duties of assistant scout
master and asked to be enrolled as
associate scouts. On December End
Einar Larsen, formerly assistant in
troop 10 transferred to troop 6 in
the same capacity. and Kenneth
| Monroe took up the duties as aSsis-
tant of the troop in January 1928.
For a long time Troop 6 was the
only troop in town without a set of
parade flags. But finally in Decem-
| Der 1921 enough funds had accumu-
lated to enable the boys to fulfill
their long cherished wish. On Dec
ember Fl official presentation of the
flags was made. Parents and friends
all the other troops of the city, and
several scout officials from other
towrfs were present and in honor of
this event the court of honor had
consented to hold a special session
for the troop alone and awarded a
number of merit badges.
Already in fall 1920 the troop had
started building a small cabin in the
woods of ~Sayreville and in October
1921. they celebrated there Roose-
| velt's Birthday. The troop COM
mittee, the scout commissioner and
Troop z were their guests.
During the summer months OF

I Dorsey allowed the boys to use his
property as camping ground. In or
der to be able to conduct overnight
hikes the ruling was introduced,
that whenever such hikes take place
on Saturdays and Sundays the en-
tire troop under the leadership of an
officer attend church service on
Sunday morning. Since there was
no church, service in Germantown,
the troop marched every Sunday
morning to Metuchen, where it divid-
ed, the Catholic boys attending mass
and the Protestant boys the regular
service at one OF the protestant
churches.

held at the High School, in which
Troop 6 participated but had to
cede the honors to the other troops,
who showed better skill in the var
iouS events.

AID SCOUTING
At JANESBURG
Movement is Being Pushed
at the State Home for
Boys

JAMESBURG, Feb. 14-In 1918
an effort was made to interest Boy
Scout masters and scout troops
throughout the state to become &C
lively concerned in the boys pa
rolled from the New Jersey State
Home for Boys with a view to Civ
ing them better associates, cleaner
activities and better spare time di-
rection. Not until July, 1921, how
ever a Boy Scout camp was started
on the eastern boundary of the farm
where there Is a good stream, plen-
ty OF woodland and sandy soil.
W. Harding Kneedler, a Prince
ton student, has been secured us
s-coutmaster and tents as well as
other paraphernalia purchased The
membership at the beginning listed
sixteen boys and in the course Of
that summer eighty boys were n
ltiated into scout work. Frank
Clarke, instructor and playground
director Of the institution took an
interest in the work and soon the
movement had a rapid growth.
In the middle of September there
were over one hundred and fifty
scout tents scattered about the
grounds. They were made Of almost
every conceivable kind Of covering.
Boxes, crates, etc. were rapidly
gathered up and converted into ia
bles, chairs and other articles.
Boys working in the carpenter shop
were besieged to help the younger
boys, mason boys were drafted for
suggestions and aid in making fire
places, blacksmith boys were call
ed upon for furnishing CRATES and
tmprovise stove pipes. The whole
scene on Saturdays and SUNDAYS
presented a picture Of An army
camp.
This demonstration Of interest on
the part of the boys vas an object
lesson to the officers. Mr.. Jacobs,
cottage master in No. s.; Mr..
Stearns of No. 2. Mr.. Slower OF No.

noting the scout work. Books
were secured, evening classes were
opened, and in November the in
etitution had over 100 boys studying
for the ~tenderfoot test. By the mid
die of December $50 boys were
ready for examination; 142 Of them
passed the test and were ready for
registration.
Here the institution was con-
tronted with a new problem. All OF
the work has been done strictly
within the institution, without con-
sultation, consent or knowledge on
the part of the American headQuar-
tiers Of the Boy Scouts A hearty
and warm reception was given the
institution by the national headquar-
tiers at the time the scout work was
called to their attention.
They made 1t possible for the in
| stitution to register all scouts ready
| for examination, they furnished GER
| tihcates and registration papers fol-
several officers who were prepared

ton, thus making it legal for thu
boys to wear scout uniform and
paraphernalia used. by the Bo,

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-thesu sub

Laxative, and their effect ON the liver is

colored tablets are the result of Dr..

strong liquids or calomel. They take

it. Why cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take calomel.

HEALTH ACTION
FOR CARTERET
Crusade Against Sale of In.
pure Milk Is Now Under
Way

CARTERET, Feb. 14:-A crusade
against the sale Of impure milk. san
itation Of dairy manufacturing plants
and the inspection Of stores selling
milk products to assure cleanliness
in milk distribution is being waged
by the Board Of Health Of this Dor
ough, Il was made public today.
Thomas Devereux, president OF
the board. said this morning that the
greatest problem facing the health
department is the sale OF pure milk
to the children.
Numerous OF negligence on
the part of the storekeepers and
milkmen to deliver the milk under
sanitary conditions has been called
to the attention OF the board" said
Mr.. Devereux. During this week
agents Of the health bureau will in
v~estigate the places mentioned to
them, it was said, and revoking OF
licenses as well as heavy fines is
looked forward to should it warrant,
the health official said.
In addition to the milk problem
the housing congestion among the
laboring class existing since the war
and particularly in the last year will
come shortly under solution. Mr..
Devereux said hat there Is no shorts
age Of homes, but the fact that some
of the boarding houses and furnished
room keepers violate the health rule
by allowing a mass of men to sleep
in one room is quite evident. To
abolish that practice was constantly
called to the attention of the house,
keepers, but no change has been
noted despite promises.
The housing of their Iaborers was
one of the chief problems that the
local plants have had to face since
many years. Getting little or nc re-
Spouse from housekeepers who were
invited to locate in the borough and
open boarding houses, guaranteeing
them payment Of the board as well
as sufficient boarders, the industries
here have partly solved the problem
by putting up camps within the
plant, engaging cooks and looking
after the men through their own
homekeepers.
Almost every large plant, including
the Mexican Petroleum Company,
board their Iaborers in their own
camp. The surplus is being distrtb-
uted in private homes where the
congestion usually rules. Five and
six men are said to occupy n room.
The last warning to eliminate the
congestion is being made by the
health officials. Further violation OF
the rules will close the places up.
Mr.. Devereux said.
The Board of Health in their
monthly report to the borough yes
terday showed that seventeen births
were recorded here during the month
Of January. Four marriages were
contracted, the report states.
