Police Report from New Goss Manor onto Jr veys Lake Borough Three small children, riding in a car with their mother and grandmother, were uninjured in an accident Saturday night when the car in which they were passengers rolled down an em- bankment into Harveys Lake. According to police reports, Carolyn Pickering, 25, of West Wyoming, her children, Joseph, three; Wendy, two; and Jeffrey, eight months, and her mother, Mary Novis, Luzerne, were treated at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital for minor injuries and released. The Pickering car was traveling toward Alderson when the driver, Mrs. Pickering, lost control of the vehicle after it skidded on melting snow. The machine crossed the second lane, broke through guard rails and landed on its side in a shallow section of the lake. Two men assisted in getting the three children and two women out of the car. Patrolman John Corbett of Harveys Lake Borough police was the investigating officer. Dallas Township A driver of a car pulled out Route 309 and was struck by a second car heading north on the highway. Neither driver was in- jured in the Dec. 4 accident. Police records show that Jerry Kocher, RD 1, Dallas, was. proceeding north at 1:30 p.m. on Route 309 when Robert Louis Karpinski, 25, of Hillcrest Drive, Dallas, drove out on the highway and was hit by the approaching car. Dallas Township Patrolman John T. Appel, assisted by Patrolman John J. Appel of Kingston Township police, in- vestigated the mishap. Total damages to both cars were es- timated at $1,000. A patch of ice was the cause of a collision Dec. 1 on Country Club Road. The accident, which was investigated by Chief Frank Lange, happened at 10:55 p.m. Ruth B. Adrian, 67, of West Pittston, was traveling east on Country Club Road when her automobile skidded on ice and struck a car operated by Clyde Lowthert, 39, of Pottsville. There were no apparent in- juries to either driver. Approxi- mately $1,100 was listed as car damages.

The Environmental Defense Fund has filed a suit against the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration in an attempt to stop the use of what is believed to be a cancer- causing drug in meat. ; The name of the drug is ‘‘diethylstilbestrol’”’ (pronounced “DYE-ETHEL-STILL-BES-TROL”’), popularly called “DES”. DES is a syntheitic female hormone which is fed to cattle to cause them to gain weight very rapidly. The Environmental Defense Fund claims that DES fed to laboratory mice has caused cancer in those animals; and added that the doses found in some slaughtered cattle is above the dosage which caused the cancer in the laboratory animals. The cancer-causing elements of DES have long been known— and the chemical has been banned in the United States from the diet of chickens being raised for human consumption. Twenty-one countries, mostly in Western Europe, have banned the use of DES in all livestock. Sweden and Italy have been prohibited the sale of U.S. beef and lamb in those countries because of the American use of DES. As a result of growing pressure on the Agriculture Department from senators and congressmen, the deadline between the last feeding of DES to an animal and the slaughter of that animal has been lengthened from two days to seven days to allow more time for the chemical to be removed from the body. However, the En- vironmental Defense Fund insists that many cattle and sheep farmers ignore the deadlines and feed the chemical up until the time of slaughter—leaving dangerously high levels of DES in the animal’s tissues. A group of individuals and organizations have filed a federal suit against the FBI in Philadelphia asking that the Bureau be forced to stop its spying on many civilians and that it destroy many of its dossiers on individuals. The suit was filed as a result of the documents which were stolen ffrom the FBI's Media office earlier this year. Attached to the complaint filed are 20 pages of documents from the Media offices. One of the plaintiffs in the suit, Philadelphia black leader Muhammad Kenyatta, complains that a complete record of his personal bank and telephone statements were in the FBI files for ‘“‘no reason at all.” Another of the documents attached is a photostat of a three- page single-spaced official report on the activities of Robert Waldrop Jr., as assistant with the Sierra Club in Washington, D.C. The report on Mr. Waldrop carefully details his activities during the three weeks of planning leading up to Earth Day ceremonies April 22°of last year. The nine plaintiffs in the suit, assisted by the American Civil Liberties Union, are asking that the FBI be ordered not to invade the privacy of innocent citizens, and that it be ordered to destroy its dossiers on thousands of citizens. Washington Post columnist Jack Anderson reports that former President Lyndon Johnson received an advance of $1.2 million from his publisher for writing his new book ‘The Vantage Point’ —a work based on detailed and sometimes secret government negotiations during the Johnson era and the Vietnam War. Mr. Anderson adds that Daniel Ellsburg has been indicted and could very well go to jail, for making facts public from exactly the same sources Johnson used. Prior to leaving the White House, President Johnson requested that one of his aides, Joe Califano, collect and copy a com- prehensive set of documents—many of them secretly—for Mr. Johnson's personal use. The former President then shopped around until he received a contract for $1.2 million to write his personal memoirs. Mr. Anderson writes: ‘Mr. Johnson quoted only the selected passages that made him look good. Mr. Ellsberg released un- censored documents, which gave an objective, unvarnished ac- count of the war.” Charley Fitzgerald will get out of California’s Folsom prison later this month after spending the past 45 years in a seven-by-nine- and-a-half foot cell. Sia The 85-year-old Fitzgerald has spent more time in California prisons than any other man. He was originally sentenced in 1926 for the alleged killing of a police officer near Sacramento. The plight of Charley Fitzgerald, who has been passed over for parole 45 straight years, came to light last month when radio station KZAP-FM in Sacramento did a news story about the agining prisoner. : The California Adult Authority reviewed Fitzgerald’s case and then finally approved his parole. There is one catch, however. During Fitzgerald’s 45 years of confinement he has received few letters and even fewer visitors. He apparently now has no friends or relatives on the outside, and before Fitzgerald can be released he has to tell the Department of Corrections what he is going to do and the Department must ap- prove of Fitzgerald’s intentions. “When I get out of here I just want to live my life in peace,” Mr. Fitzgerald says. : DEC. 9, 1971 Page 5 Senior Girl Scout Troop 660, Shavertown, will sponsor a hoagie sale Dec. 11.

Mrs. Walter Davidson, neighborhood direc- tor, presided at the meeting. Leaders brought calendars for exchange by troops and also brought samples of Christmas crafts. It was announced that the current neighborhood service Girl Scouts project is collecting glass bottles for reclamation by the Jaycees. Labels should be re- moved and all bottles rinsed out. They will be collected by the Jaycees either the last of January or sometime in Feb- ruary. Leaders who might have post- dated Juliette Low World Friendship Fund checks are re- quested -to void these checks and issue new ones made out and sent to the council office. It was also announced that a new Brownie Girl Scout troop is being organized in Dallas and will hold its first meeting after the holidays. Mrs. H.R. McCar- tney, Dallas, has been appoint- ed Dallas troop organizer. Following the business meeting a film on contempor- ary scouting was presented. The next Neighborhood meeting will be held Jan. 12 at 10 a.m. in the Trinity United Presbyterian Church. Each troop is asked to have either the troop cookie chairman or her substitute attend this meeting. Junior Girl Scout troops of the Dallas Neighborhood have been invited to go caroling Dec. 17. Following the carolling, the scouts will meet at Gate of Heaven where they will be served refreshments through the cooperation of Carrell’s Drive-in.
