D. POLLUTION
BILL ADVANCED
Congressman AppIeby Urges
Immediate Action to Curb
This Practice
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington. Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Prepara-
tory to its Introduction before the
House, the Appleby anti-oil pollution
bill has been turned over to Repre-
sentative Clouss, of Tennessee, Is a
subcommittee of n of the rivers
and harbors committee to consider
further the amendments which have
been proposed in the committee and
put 1t in shape for final action by
the body.
A final hearing on the bill was
held this week before the rivers and
harbors committee, at which time
Representative Appleby of New Jer-
ssey, author of the bill, and Repre-
sen Eye Llneberger. of California
the urgent need for imme-
Aiiate action to curb the serious and
Instructive pollution of our coastal
waters.
Mr.. Appleby's bill was introduced
In the senate by Senator Frelinghuy-
sen and passed that body some
months ago. Since that time its adj
lyocates have been laboring strenuk
Iously' to secure action on it by the
House committee, but due to the ,ap-
parent apathetic attitude of the
chairman of the committee, Repre-
VI Vi NJ = -
has been extremely difficult to get
any response.
Objections which had been made
to the bill by certain eastern states
nave all been removed; and it is the
opinion of Representative Appleby
that the sentiment of the majority
|pf the committee Is favorable to, its
passage. He therefore hopes that
Chairman Dempsey will see fit to al
How the measure to be reported out
,Eo the House before the end of the
present session of congress.
In its final form, it Is expected
that the bill will provide a penalty OF
~ 500 for violations of it's terms
Ind will apply; Ito all pollution of
waterways, and relieve the
government of the necessity of pro-
Wing that the pollution is a him
France to navigation, as must be
|fone to secure a conviction under the
present law.

Today the Evening News pub
fishes the first of a series of ac-
counts of the local Boy Scout troops,
in observance Of the nationwide
thirteenth anniversary of scouting
that Is going on at this time
throughout the county, during the
week of February SIS
The following is a story of the ac-
Invites of Troop o.
Troop Two-ten-shuni" A dozen
boys snapped out of it. Scoutmas-
ter Irving Goldstein, eyed them in
tently then smiled-it was a smile
of confidence, a captivating smile,
which found root in the heart IF
the scouts, many of whom had
never seen their leader before.
They eyed him scrutinizingly ana
listened attentively as he told of the
wonderful things that could be ac-
complished If the scouts worked
hand in hand with him for the
advancement of the troop. Would
they do it, Their eyes bespoke
confidence but they did not answer.
They stood motionless as statues.
Would they be the nucleus OF a
scout troop which would be an
honor and a blessing to the com.-
munity? They did not give Their
answer then nor the day after, but
at the next meeting they respon1-
ed. Not as the frenzied street cor
ner mob does to the wild %ejacula-
tons and ear-splitting appeals of
the soap-box orator, but in true
scoutly fashion. They responded
with results each of the twelve boys
passed his tenderfoot tests!
AL: this of cours happened way
back in September of 1918, when
the troops was first organized. sAt
this time scouting had not yet gain
ed a foothold in Perth Anpboy aud
as to the true nature of the scout
movement. 1t was only natural
therefore that the many Of the
parents should object to their sons
belonging to the organization. Their
objections, however, became less
pronounced as the movement pro-
crossed and today these parents are
hear and SOU for the Boy Scouts.
During the war the scouts of this
troop did notable work in the sale
of var saving stamps and liberty
bonds. Many medals were awarded
the members of the troop, and a
large pennant. was presented to the
troop itself by the United States
government for good results in the
Victory loan.
No mention need be made of the
efficient and faithful service render
ed by the boys during the Morgan
explosion and the dreaded influenza
epidemic.
Irving GoIdstein served as scout
master for about a year and under
his leadership the troop increased
both in efficiency and numbers. Fol-
lowing him Morris Margaretten,
Philip Schlesinger and Leo Slobo-
diem took their turn and as pilots
of the troop. each of these three
accomplished much by which to re
remembered. Frank Plain also did
