Fish Commission Director
Urges Litterbug Campaign
A new look at laws dealing
with “litterbugs’”’ may be
necessary to curb the growing
pile of rubbish left by out-
doorsmen, vacationers and
travelers throughout Penn-
sylvania.
“The cash penalty is only
doing part of the job and it
really hasn’t worked too well to
date” says Pennsylvania Fish
Commission Executive
Director Robert J. Bielo in an
editorial appearing in the
current June issue of the
Pennsylvania Angler, the
Commission’s monthly
magazine.
“In this day when we hear so
much about trying to make the
penalty for an offense against
society fit the crime, it would
seem we are missing the boat
by simply tacking a monetary
fine on a litterbug”, Bielo
states. “Certainly the $10.00
penalty under the Fish Law and
the $50.00 highway littering
penalty joave little effect on the
genuinef¥itterbug. Possibly the
cash fine system would work if
we could catch and prosecute
more of these littering
nuisances. But catching them is
the problem. Litterbugs look
just like everyone else. No
doubt many are good people—
except for their habit of leaving
their trash behind them.”
Bielo points out that the lit-
tering problem not only creates
the financial burden of cleaning
it up, but that it has also been
responsible for the closing of
private property to public use.
“A cigarette package or a
single beer can may seem in-
significant along a stream bank
that is already strewn with
leaves and rocks and fallen
limbs, but that one can or one
lunch sack may be the
proverbial ‘last straw’ to the
landowner who has patiently
cleaned up the creek side for
years and off he goes for an
armload of trespass signs.”
“Is a mere. $10 fine ample
penalty for an act that may
cause the loss of a mile of trout

Clarks |,
stream? Is any amount of cash
fine really sufficient?” Bielo
asks. ;
“Would it be better to revoke
a litterbug’s license to fish?
Should the penalty be a maii-
datory tour of duty with a high-
way or park litter cleanup crew
so the litterbug can really see
the results of this disease?”
Bielo suggests perhaps a
different, more personal ap-
proach is needed.
“To put the fight against
littering on a personal basis
might be more effective
because littering obviously isn’t
going to be stopped simply by
passage of a law. It’s going to
require public pride in our
outdoors, our stream banks,
and our lake shores. Surely the
hundreds of thousands of
concerned no-littering fisher-
men, campers, hikers, hunters
and picnickers outnumber the
thoughtless litterbugs,”’ he
states in the editorial.

master Dave Kopetchny.
The project S.0.A.R. activity,
headed-up by Julian T.
McKinnon of Charmin Paper
Products Company Mehoopany,
centered primarily around anti-
litter efforts throughout the
Council area.
Cub Scouts and their
prospective packs focused their
attention on clean-up efforts on
a neighborhood and community
basis, while the scouts and
explorers conducted clean-up
campaigns along the highways
of both counties.
Cooperating with the scouts in
this massive beautification
effort was the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation,
which supervised and provided
equipment to the scouts on the
highway clean-up.
This Project S.0.A.R. activity
highlights a National Save Our
American Resources Program
by the scouts during the year
1971. To date approximately
16,000 scout hours of ecology
and conservation activity has
been put in the program by the
local Penn Mountains Council,
Boy Scouts of America.
