A Presidential Award
Program for high school
students has been announced by
the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). The
President’s Environmental
Merit Awards Program is a
nation-wide endeavor to recog-
nize the activities and achieve-
ments of high school students
who have committed them-
selves to constructive en-
vironmental service.
In a statement issued Oct. 25,
1971, President Nixon said that
he has received thousands of
letters from young people who
want to join the national effort
to reclaim, protect, and pre-
serve the natural resources of
the country.
According to the President:
“Environmental programs by
high school students can play an
important part in this vital
effort.” The President’s En-
vironmental Merit Awards Pro-
gram was initiated to help
encourage such student
programs and to give deserved
recognition to the achievements
of those who participate.
Starting with the current
school year and carrying
through the summer months,
the program will continue in
succeeding years. To assure
that the program will be re-
Wyoming Hunter's
Truck Is Robbed
Kingston Township police re-
ported a Wyoming resident was
robbed of a rifle, shells and
hunting jacket over the
weekend. J
James Jeffreys, RD 3,
Wyoming, told police the ar-
ticles were taken from the cab
of his pick-up truck sometime
during the night or morning of
Dec. 11-12.
Mr. Jeffreys reported, I
locked the cab of the truck at
about 11 p.m. Saturday, and
noticed that one window was
down on Sunday morning. Upon
investigating I found that a 30-06
Remington pump action 760
Gamemaster rifle, box of shells
and clip, and a bright red
hunting coat with state hunting
license on the back were
missing.”
Officer Jack Stephenson said
there were no marks of forcible
entry on the truck. The investi-
gation is continuing.
Disorderly Conduct
Charge Is Leveled
A hearing is scheduled for to-
night before District Magistrate
Leonard D. Harvey for William
H. Oliver on a disorderly con-
duct charge. Filed by Lehman
Township Police Chief Lionel
Bulford, the charge stemmed
from an early morning incident
Dec. 4 at the home of Lois
Walter, Briarcrest Road, Leh-
man.
According to the complaint,
Oliver was disturbing the res-
idents of the road at appro-
ximately 3:30 a.m. by ‘loud and
boisterous language.”
Bail in the amount of $1,000
was provided by a professional
bondsman following Oliver's
arraignment Dec. 12. :
THE DALLAS POST, DEC. 16, 1971
Awards Program Announced
For Environmental Service
levant to community needs and
special problems, it will be ad-
ministered locally by the in-
dividual high school principal
and an awards panel of faculty,
student and community re-
presentatives appointed by the
principal. The program is
designed to encourage the
highest degree of student
participation in involvement at
every level of scholastic compe-
tence. The school’s panel will be
free to designate any responsi-
ble project—individual, group,
or class—as being eligible for
the awards.
The Awards Program will
cover four general areas of
activity: 1) educational
achievement in environmental-
related classroom and home-
work in applicable subjects; 2)
environmental awareness
through communications ac-
tivities in the school and
community; 3) community
service through direct involve-
ment in any way with local or
regional environmental pro-
jects; and 4) public affairs
through participation and re-
presentation in school, local and
state governing bodies.
Projects may cover any or all of
the basic concerns of planning,
preservation, control and
restoration of the environment.
Awards will be based on the
constructive contributions
which students make towards
improving the local quality of
life.
Interested school officials and
students may obtain further in-
formation on the program by
writing to one of the two federal
agencies concerned with the
support and growth of the
Awards Program. Inquiries
should be addressed to either
the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency, Public = Affairs
Division, Washington, D.C.

ucation, Environmental Edu-
cation Office, Washington, D.C.

Passarella Attends
Chicago Convention
Karen Passarella, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Pas-
sarella; 123 Pine Sti, Dallas, .re-
presented College Misericor-
dia’s Young Democrats Club at
the national organization’s
First National Youth Caucus
held recently in Chicago. Miss
Passarella is vice-president of
the Young Democrats at
College Misericordia.
Attended by over 3000 club re-
presentives, the conference was
called to pass resolutions for the
1972 campaign. Although the re-
presentatives did not endorse
any candidate for 1972, they did
call for youth support of candid-
ates advocating equality for all
minority groups. :
While at the conference, Miss
Passarella had the opportunity
to interview Julian Bond and
Bella Abzug, two of the guest
speakers at the conference.
Every speaker, including Bond
and Abzug, according to Miss
Passarella, saw the 18 year old
vote as ‘‘the birth of a new
movement in American
politics.”

i - Hanukkah 1
During the time of Alexander the Great, the Jews in
Palestine were not hindered in observance of their religion. But
after his death (323 B.C.E.), many of the rulers of Palestine
tried to compel the Jews to give up their own religion in favor of
Greek paganism.
The king most determined to root out Judaism was An-
tiochus IV. He set up images of Zeus throughout the country and
in the Temple itself and sought to force worship and sacrifice to
his idols. He forbade Sabbath, festival and dietary observance.
To escape death many Jews fled to the hills. The fighting Jews
formed an army under Judah Maccabee, whose aged father had
struck down a renegade Jew and issued the call to rebellion.
After three years, in 165 B.C.E., Judah and his brothers
succeeded in defeating the Syrians, cleansing the defiled
Temple and relighting the Eternal Lamp.
The small jar of pure oil burned for eight days—hence the
eight day observance of Hanukkah (Feast of Dedication). On the
first evening a single candle is lit; the number is increased each
evening until the last night when the full eight are kindled.
Through Hanukkah, which generally falls late in December
(Kislev)25), is beloved by young -and old for its joyous
celebration, the festival is important to all mankind, for this was
the first successful insurrection against limitation of religious
freedom in history.

At least 1000 sea otters have died as a result of the Atomic
Energy Commission’s Amchitka nuclear test, the Alaska State
Department of Fish and Game announced this week.
John Vania of the Fish and Game Department said the sea otter
loss has been computed by ‘‘actual counts’ on Amchitka
Island made before and after the five-megaton weapon was
detonated last month. Autopsies on the bodies of 19 sea otters
recovered within days after the blast indicated that they had been
killed by massive hemmorrhaging in the lungs; it is believed the
hemmorrhaging was caused by the underwater shock wave from
the explosion—an effect called ‘‘over pressure’ by the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Prior to the controversial nuclear test, AEC officials had in-
sisted that very few sea otters would be killed by the blast; but
privately, AEC sources had predicted up to 250 otter deaths. The
more than 1,000 otters believed killed, a number termed ‘‘very
conservative” by some Fish and Game experts, is at least four
times higher than the AEC’s largest and most pessimistic pre-
diction.
Members of the Fish and Game Department met in Juneau
with Alaskan Gov. William Egan Tuesday to discuss their findings.
Gov. Egan had been strongly opposed to the testing of the Amchitka
weapon.

It is now only three months until the Presidential primary in
New Hampshire and according to Congressman Paul McCloskey’s
office, President Nixon is becoming more and more concerned that
Mr. McCloskey has a good chance of making a good showing in that
election.
Rep. McCloskey, a California congressman, is challenging
President Nixon for the Republican Presidential nomination. The
young looking, liberal Republican has been spending almost every
weekend for the past few months in New Hampshire and according
to his staff he has been scoring valuable points with voters in that
state.
Ellen Berman of the McCloskey office said that she had learned
that Mr. Nixon originally had not planned to go to New Hampshire
to campaign. But now, Miss Berman says, Mr. Nixon has let it be
known that he plans at least one trip and probably even three trips
to the tiny northeastern state before the March 7 promary. The
White House will not comment.
Miss Berman said Mr. Nixon is planning the campaign junkets
because it looks like Mr. McCloskey might win. One new entrant
into the race who will apparently help Mr. McCloskey and hurt Mr.
Nixon is a conservative former New Hmapshire senator named
John Ashland. Mr. Ashland was convinced by a group of influential
conservatives in New York to make a showing for conservative
Republicanism in New Hampshire.
Miss Berman said that if Mr. McCloskey makes a good showing
in New Hampshire, or even wins the primary, the candidate will
expect money to begin coming to his campaign from Republicans
who currently doubt whether he has a chance. At the moment Mr.
McCloskey’s campaign is in debt about $50,000: : Earth News

More oil than ever before is being systematically dumped into
ocean waters around the world today—and most of this petroleum
dumping is occurring through lawful and intentional procedures.
Dr. Max Blumer, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute at Woods Hole, Mass., warns that these
non-accidental oil spills threaten not only the ocean’s ecology, but
all forms of life on this planet.
Dr. Blumer estimates that at least seven million tons of
petroleum deposits—equivalent to almost two billion gallons of
oil—will be dumped or spilled into ocean waters during 1971. The
tragedy of the matter, says Dr. Blumer, is the fact that most of this
oil—more than a billion gallons of it—will not be put into ocean
waters through accidental spills or blow-outs: it will occur through
practices which are presently lawful and intentional.
Intentional means which are not controlled by laws today in-
clude the massive amounts of oil that tankers flush out of their
tanks after making a delivery ; the petroleum left behind from bilge
pumping by large ships; and even the enormous amounts of oil
which are discarded through normal sewage channels each year,
such as service stations that dump used petroleum down sewage
drains.
How much is a billion gallons of oil, the amount which will be
lawfully discarded in 1971? Well, the dramatic San Francisco oil
spill earlier this year deposited far less than a thousandth of the
amount that will be lawfully deposited into the oceans in 1971. The
one-billion gallons of ‘intentional spills’ represents more than a
quart of oil for every man, woman and child on the face of the
Earth. And the amount is increasing every year.

President Nixon’s National Commission on Marijuana and
Dangerous Drugs has held a series of secret sessions with ‘‘suc-
cessful,’ establishment type professional people’’ whq have been
heavy users of marijuana for at least five years.
A Marijuana Commission spokesman told Earth News that
four private and unpublicized meetings between the com-
missioners and long-time pot smokers were held this past year in
Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans and San Francisco. The
purpose of the meetings was to demonstrate to the commissioners
that many highly successful community leaders have smoked
marijuana, with no apparent side-effects or drawbacks.
The group of long-time smokers included doctors, lawyers,
school teachers and other professionals—all over 30 years old—and
most of whom were active in successful family lives. The com-
mission spokesman said that volunteers for the program were
located by privately contacted doctors and psychiatrists in the
communities where the interviews took place.

Most football fans find them-
selves in an acute state of
mental stress during this brief
lull in the schedule. The pre-
bowl game trauma, as it is
called in the trade,
creates a feeling of ambival-
ence and confusion. On one
hand, the fan cannot wait to wit-
ness the struggle for mythical
and league championships. But
at the same time he realizes
that the final moments of truth
for collegiate and pro teams
bring with them another truth—
the season is over!
While millions of American
women await this magic
moment, their husbands are
quietly checking basketball and
hockey schedules to ease the
transition. The considerate wife
will not interfere with this de-
velopment. She will recognize
that it is an essential part of the
delicate withdrawal process
from 14 weeks of conditioned
behavior!
So it is with mixed feelings
that True Grid approaches the
bowl game pairings which mark
the finale for college football -
1971. You may recall that True
Grid picked Delaware over C.
W. Post by at least 20 points in
the Boardwalk Bowl and Dela-
ware won its fourth Boardwalk
Bowl in a row: 72-22. The
remaining games will be ap-
preciably closer contests. In
fact, these excellent matches
plus the upset factor in bowl
games makes True Grid’s task
most difficult. However, T.G.
has had sufficient time to study
the bowl picture and feels fairly
confident in the following
forecasts.
The remainder of the pigskin
bowl picks will be included in
next week’s paper.
Sun Bowl: L.S.U. (9-2) vs.
Iowa State (8-3)—True Grid
feels that L.S.U. should be
ranked in the top five in the
country. They have combined
an alert and aggressive defense
with an opportunistic defense as
most of you saw in their game
against Notre Dame. Iowa State
is a young and rapidly improv-
ing team with a potent offense
and stout defense. The teams
have had one common oppon-
ent, Colorado, and both lost to
the Buffalos by 10 points. L.S.U.
has a strong bowl tradition; the
Cyclones are appearing in their
first one. Most of the experts
will see this one as a close con-
test. True Grid feels confident
that the Bayou Bengals will
win—by at least 10 points.
Liberty Bowl: Tennesse (9-2)
vs. Arkansas (8-2-1)—You have
to be impressed with Tennes-
see’s lightning quick defense
which features three genuine
All-Americans. The Vol’s of-
fense is mediocre but the de-
fense has set up the scoring op-
portunities. Arkansas, despite
“some big wins, has been incon-
sistent offensively and more
generous on defense than the
typical Razorback teams. Once
again the good defense (and
specialty teams) should provide
the margin of victory. Tennes-
see by six.
Astro-Blue Bonnet Bowl:
Houston (8-2) vs. Colorado (9-
2—This should be a most inter-
esting struggle. It may be one of
the toughest to predict. Hous-
ton’s usually potent record-
breaking offensive unit has
dropped to a 29-point per game
average. However, the defen-
sive team is one of their best in
recent years. Colorado has lost
only to Nebraska and Oklahoma
while beating L.S.U., Ohio State
and Iowa State. Based on the
Buffalos’ late season stampede
over Air Force, True Grid will
pick Colorado—by six points.
Tangerine Bowl: Richmond
(5-5) vs. Toledo (11-0)—The
Rockets should have little
trouble with the Spiders. The
nation’s longest winning streak
will not be in jeopardy in this
apparent mismatch. Toledo has
outscored its opponents by an
average 32-9 margin while
Richmond has scored 13, giving
up 16 per contest. True Grid
favors Toledo by 23 points—it
could be worse.
True Grid fared much better
this week than last in the pro
games. This week’s record was
nine right and four wrong. The
season’s log to date: 89 right—
55 wrong and seven ties for .618
percentage. This week’s
schedule appears deceptively
easy and that spells trouble
during this season of upsets.
However, with some play-off
Grid
positions still at stake there
should be an incentive for the
favorites positions. As was done
last week, True Grid will at-
tempt to predict the scoring
margins in a more positive
approach to predicting the out-
comes.
New England at Baltimore:
The surprising Patriots have
pulled many upsets—but only at
their home in Foxboro, Mass. A
rejuvenated Johnny Unitas and
the toughest defense in the
league should provide a com-
fortable margin of victory. Out-
come: Baltimore 31, New
England 17.
Buffalo at Kansas City: The
punchless Bills meet the prob-
able Super Bowl champs. Stated
another way—the number one
team against the poorest team
in pro football. Result: Kansas
City 41, Buffalo 10. :
Denver at Oakland: The dis-
heartened Raiders will take out
their vengeance on the tough
Broncos. The Raiders inspired
only by pride should prevail:
Oakland 34, Denver 13.
St. Louis at Dallas: The
talented Cardinals have been a
major disappointment again.
The Cowboys are on the crest of
an offensive tidal wave. The
Cowboys remain undefeated at
their new stadium: Dallas 38,
St. Louis 16.
Minnesota at Chicago: The
Bears are having trouble
scoring against everybody.
Minnesota is the best defense in
pro football. The Vikings will be
out to avenge one of their three
losses. In a typical low scoring
Black and Blue Division con-
test, the Vikings should prevail
24 to 10.
Green Bay at Miami: After
two straight losses the Dolphins
will be up for this one at the
Orange Bowl. The Packers
would like to win this one for
Starr and Nietsche but their
timing is bad. Miami 31, Greer
Bay 13.
Atlanta at New Orleans: Twi op
teams of the future battle in
what has become a traditionz il
rivalry. The Falcons hav e
matured more—particular] ly
defensively. A chance for a mi Id
upset but—Atlanta 27, Ne:w
* Orleans 17.
Los Angeles at Pittsburgh: A
must game for the Rams w ho
have had trouble winning tI at
type recently. The Steelers p! lay
best with the pressure off—:¢ ind
they have nothing to lose. If I Mir.
Gabriel is on: Los Angeles 24,
Pittsburgh 17.
Detroit at San Francisco : A
must game for the 49’ers arid a
chance for the disappoin ting
Lions to salvage something
from a dismal season. The
Lions have the talent to leat
anyone and the 49’ers will have
to be ready. San Franc isco
should take advantage of t heir
last hour reprieve and win: San
Francisco 27, Detroit 20.
San Diego at Houston: 1dadl
has the Charger offense in full
power after an early season: col-
lapse. The Oilers have also
come to life but they are short
on personnel. San Diego’s
charge is impressive but. too
late to be significant. San Di ego
38; Houston 24.
Philadelphia at New York:
This game will be played as in-
tensively as the Super Bowl.
There will be fights, big plays
and much emotion. When the
dust clears look for the Bald
Eagles to emerge victoriously.
Phildelphia 27, New York 24.
Cincinnati at the New York
Jets: Joe Namath has a certain
mystique which inspires the
Jets to victory. The Bengals
have had a most disappointing
year. Even with a sore elbow,
Namath and the Jets should
prevail: New York 21, Cincin-
nati 13.
Cleveland at Washington:
The Redskins were most jm.
pressive against Los Angeles op
Monday night. The Browns
have qualified by default jp
their weak division. The 'Sking
defense should do it again in g
close one. Washington 20,
Cleveland 17.
True Grid will go on record at
this early date to be the first of
all forecasters to predict the
Super-Bowl Winner! Yes fang—
even before all the playoff posi-
tions have been filled T wil] go
with the team I picked before
the season started. Look for the
best quarterback in pro football
to lead the Kansas City Chiefs
all the way.
