Waterbury Boy Scouts Found
 SWedish Comrades Cautious

Some of the reactions of mem. bers of the Waterbury Boy Scout troop who attended the recent jamboree at Washington, D. O., are given in an article today by one of them. The writer is James Dwyer, Eagle scout, holder of dozens of merit badges, and 6 stu- dent at Crosby high school.
 Dwyer, son of MT. and Mrs. Wil- liam Dwyer of 22 Edward street, was one of the local scouts who lived at the great jamboree camp for 10 days, saw all the sights that Washington and environS had to offer, chered President Roosevelt and in general had c great time.
 His article follows:
 The recent Boy Scout jamboree at Washington, D. G., brought some interesting side gianceS which I feel should Do passed on to the general public instead of being limited to family circles. One of the most entertaining of these stories concerns the contin- gent from Sweden. These boys, like most of the members of the foreign delegations, were be- sieged by autograph seekers, but unlike the other scouts, they SteadfaStly refused to write any thing. Things were at . deadlock when c Swedish American came up and started to speak to the boys in their native language. After talking for c short while, the boys come back, and to the general astonishment of the on- lockers, began to autograph all available books. One of the spec. tators asked the man who had apparently changed their minds what he had said to them to cause the rapid about face. "Oh." said the fellow, T was just reassuring them. You see, before they left Sweden, they were told not to sign anything in America" There were many different ways by which ambitious scouts paid for their

 Safety First
 Definite precaution should be tak- en against drinking water from streams and lakes, utility officials declare. especially lakes and streams where bathing is permitted. It Is . health safety rule not to drink wa ter from streams and lakes at any time, since there is no way of know. ing exactly whether or not they have been subject to contamination. If circumstances make it necessary to utilize such water, it should be boiled before using to kill of any dangerous bacteria. Water Is c dis- ease carrying agent although efforts of public system homogeneous have largely eliminated waterhorne i'll. ness. To safeguard water from harmful bacteria Is . costly proposi- ton, SO 1t cannot be expected that supplies not treated by modern methods will prove safe for human conStumption.

That made every thing all right, for Charles " could 90 into the Kitchen, boil c Cherry, and wish everybody Q Long good Knight. A new simile brought from the jamboree-"As restless as an alligator" A few fancy nicknames from tho two Waterbury trops: Bill Lentell- Peanut; Bob Phelan-"Help- less"; Fred Babson Betty; Tony Custaferri-"dusty"; Assist ant scoutmaster Milton Coer- Mike" Ono of the big moments for the Waterbury lads came when they were invited to witness the game between tho Washing ton Senators and the Boston Red Box, With DeShong pitching for the Mats and Wilson for the Sox, they thrilled to 0 tight game which found Washington the win iier by Q score of 3-2. Bill DLen- tell, the smallest boy in camp, also had tho honor of being ad- judged the most freckled boy In the entire encampment. Seen from the top of the Washington monument, the camp was Q blaze of color. Although many of the troops used plain army tents there were enough councils that brought their own gaily decorated tents and ltepees to produce a riot of eolors equaled only In Q rain- bow.

The encyclical was the Pope's
third within ten days, written with
vigor despite his recent grave ILL
ness. The Pope plans to appear in
public after Easter mass tomorrow
for the first time since his illness.
The encyclical was addressed to
the Mexican clergy. 1t followed
closely the lines of his recent ency-
clical on Communism, in which he
also came to the defense of the
working man.
In discussing the application of
the principles of justice and char
ity the encyclical said these should
be emphasized lin order to assure
to all at least that minimum of this
worlds goods which is indispensable
for the safeguarding OF human dig
nifty and elimination of abuses, at
the same time guarding against
violent changes which could only
cause harm instead of good"

late federal action or new national
labor legislation was impending.
Sen. Joseph T. Robinson, demo-
cratic leader, outlined the conclu-
sions of the discussion.
There are two conditions" said
Robinson, under which federal ac-
ton may be invoked in acute strike
situations:
Il. If federal laws are violated
or federal property damaged, in
cluding interference with the mails.
Unless one of these conditions eX-
lists, federal action is not warrant
ed under the constitution and court
decisions.
% If state authorities, under
federal law, ask the services of fed
eral agencies to assist in preserva-
ton of law and order or in pro-
lection against violence.
Neither condition so far has
arisen. Except in instances where
interstate commerce has been in
terfered with or federal law violat-
ed, the federal government can not
initiate action.
