The awards were presented during the NBHS Centennial Convocation, which marked the 100th anniversary of education and service to the Hub City.

The theme of the program was "Knowledge For. Service," the NBHS motto designed by Dr. Kenneth Jennings, class of 1919, a recipient of a Distinguished Alumni Award for Journalism. The program began with musical selections played by the Alumni Band under the direction of George P. Krauss, class of 1940.

The Rev. John Demkovich of St. Mary's R. C. Church, Den-ville, class of 1951, gave the invocation prior to an address by Reginald Guy, president of the graduating class.

Big Step Forward Tracing the development of the high school, Guy said, "It was a century ago when this small community took a big step forward in establishing a high school, the name of which was the Bayard School, under the direction of one Henry Pierce. Today, three high schools and 10 principals later, each of us remembers a part of New Brunswick High School's glorious history. As we reminisce, we cannot fail to obesrve how the school's development and the nation's growth have advanced hand in hand." "New Brunswick High School has achieved eminence and has won the respect of neighboring schools just as the United States has become a world power and has won the respect of its neighbors," he said.

According to Margolis, "One need not be an educational expert to recognize that the American high school is a unique educational institution in comparison to the secondary schools of other nations." Margolis traced the development of New Brunswick High School from its beginning as the Bayard School during the Civil War to the present. "Today's high school," he said, "with its unusual techniques and facilities, is a far cry from the educational institution of the Civil War." Problems Ahead Touching on social and economic problems which confront today's high school students. Margolis said that the role of the American high school over the next 100 years will be determined by its ability to alleviate these problems. The Rev. Edward Warner, rector of St.

Alban's Episcopal Mission in New Brunswick, and a member of the class of 1957, gave the benediction which marked the end of the ceremony.

MONDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 12, 1967. Ad ams ears Erosion Of Pollution Program The Middlesex County Sewerage Authority will issue a warning tomorrow that new federal and state programs to erase water pollution from the New Jersey-New York-Pennsylvania are doomed, unless Congress provides the funds needed to help implement them. In? statement prepare! or Ihe third session of the Conference on Pollution of the Raritan Bay and Adjacent Interstate Waters, which will meet in New York City tomorrow and Wednesday, H. Mat Adams, chairman of the authority, notes with cern that President Johnson has asked that federal aid for pollution control programs be cut this year from $450 million to $203 million. He terms the President's recommendation "disturbing." The almost 60 per cent; he says, "could throw programs out of gear" and have a "sorry psychological dampening" of the enthusiasm of municipalities and regional interests to implement pollution control measures.

Seeks to Restore Grants Adams points out that the authority has asked Its representatives an Congress to restore the original federal grants, and he will call on the conference to go on record urging this also. He notes" that the" hew programs call for comp'etion by 1970 of treatment plants capable of providing the secondary treatment required to neutralize complex industrial wastes of the metropolitan area. But such timetables for completion, he says, are not meaningful unless federal and state funds are provided to help subsidize them. The federal government originally authorized a scale of grants starting with $450 million in 1968 and escalating to $700 million in 1969, $1 billion in 1970 and $1.25 billion in 1971. Also stipulated, he points out, was that maximum grants of 55 per cent of construction costs go for projects in stales which would pay 25 per cent of the cost for plants designed to serve a regional area.

New Jersey has responded with a plan to provide the 25 per cent construction costs, he notes. But the President's decision to cut back, on the federal share puts the entire project in jeopardy, he adds. Adams says he is certain the cut was prompted by the need to support U.S. military commitments. But, he says, such a cut in the initial year would disrupt the timetables for performance, and possibly erode the entire program of pollution control.

"We are hopeful that Congress will respond to public demand and restore these funds. If not," he says, "We foresee problems." Adams adds that the authority is planning a secondary treatment plant that will cost an estimated $30 million. This, he says, will go a long way to re ducing pollution in the Raritan Bay area. But, he adds, "We would be remiss if we did not take full cognizance of what is happening around us and what others may do or not do which could virtually torpedo what we will do." The "hundreds of millions of gallons" of raw sewage and partially treated industrial wastes that enter the Hudson River far upstream at Troy, Rensellear and Albany, he says, are of concern to the residents of Plain-field, New Brunswick and Bound Brook in the Raritan Valley. "For this pollution from the Hudson, from New York City, from Newark Bay, from Northern New Jersey sources, from the Arthur Kill or the Kill Von Kull enters the Raritan Bay," he says.

The Raritan Bay, he adds, is "the low man on the totem pole" and, therefore, is vitally affected by whatever happens upstream.

A kibbutz is a collective farm developed by Israeli pioneers for reclaiming arid land.

"I have a terrible sinking feeling in my stomach and I curse each day for not being at home," said Benjamin Bay, a balding 38-year-old Israeli who stayed behind to help run Hechaultz Farm. Bay, who arrived in the United States with his wife and two sons six weeks ago, was found huddled beside a radio listening to the latest news from the United Nations when a visitor knocked at the door of a two-story white stucco bunk-house where the kibbutzniks live. Except for a handful of cows grazing in a nearby pasture, he was the only sign of life. Work to Be Done Where was everyone else? "Glued to their radios like me," he smiled, "but that reminds me there's work to be done." By DAVID ROSENZWEIG HIGHTSTOWN, AP) War in the Middle East has taken a toll at Hechaultz Farm, a 200-acre Zionist agricultural outpost nestled in New Jersey's rolling farm belt.

The othed day, there were only 10 trainees on the farm, most of them greenhorns from Brooklyn and the Bronx. All were itching to get to Israel. "There was some sentiment for closing up the place and going to Israel straightaway," said Ira Orenstein, a 19-year-old recent arrival from Brooklyn. Orenstein, who has begun sporting a mustache, said that the movement's leaders decided against any hasty action.

It was felt that the farm must continue as a showplace for American Jewish youth.
