Treasury Depart- 8 Beaches Ruled Unsafe in Nassau Pollution Tests 6 Along South Shore Listed- -Long Beach Waters Called 'Good' Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Mineola, July 1 Eight beaches in Nassau County, six of them along the South Shore, today were listed as "bad" in a report of the county Department of Health on water sampling to determine the presence of sewage pollution. For the first time since the department began sampling the beach waters, three locations- Oak Neck and Laurel Hollow on Long Island Sound and Point Lookout on the ocean-were found to be in "excellent" condition. Five others.

chiefly along the North Shore and at Long Beach, were reported as "good." The health department engineers, beginning May 10, took 200 samples from 33 stations on the Sound, South Shore bays and the ocean. Bacteriological tests determined the presence of organisms associated with sewage pollution and the various waters were rated in accordance with the degree of pollution noted. Name 'Unfit' Areas Among the areas listed as unfit for bathing are Little Neck Bay. the Newbridge Reservoir at Merrick. Wall's Pond at West Hempstead and the inland waters on the South Shore, especially in the creeks and canals at Sportsman's, Arthur and Randall bays in Freeport and Milburn Creek in Baldwin.

The department report, noting that inland waters are expected to carry a greater share of the bathing loads because of travel difficulties, warned bathers to patronize only those places where waters have been approved and which have bathing permits issued under the State Sanitary Code. Bathers also were cautioned to swim only where lifeguards are on duty. Sampling will be continued and further reports will be made in August, the report concluded.

The task of the volunteers will be to guard bridges. beaches, power lines, war industries, and other vital war sites from enemy saboteurs. While the army made no comment on the decision to conduct a school, it was believed that the recent capture of Nazi saboteurs who landed on Long Island and Florida had acted as a spur to anti-sabotage plans. Each of the volunteers will be checked by Federal agencies before being accepted for service.

Those picked will be from among men not now serving in any of the civilian protection services. 51,745 Boro Youths Register for Draft; Highest in City Uncle Sam today boasted of manpower reserve of approximately 43.000.000 men listed in selective service files or already in uniform following completion of the nation's fifth draft call for youths of 18 to 20.

Uncle Sam could uniform a brand new army officer and have almost enough left over to garb a sailor. A bit of research at the War Department disclosed that the cost to the Government of clothing one WAAC- private" or officer- is $255.68 for initial outfit and a year's maintenance. Not even army nurses cost that much to clothe. The Government spends only $122.21 to equip a nurse for field service.

The teeming South Brooklyn Taterfront today was assured of ferry service to Manhattan for at least 75 days as a result of Borough President Cashmore's success in winning adoption of his proposal that the Board of Estimate authorize the operation of one vessel between Atlantic Ave. and the Battery.

Service will be resumed tomorrow. Without dissent, the board voted at City Hall vesterday to operate the ferry. at a maximum monthly operating loss of $3.000, to enable business interests in the area to transport their products. many of which are vital to the war effort. Although he had originally requested that the ferry operate for three months from the foot of 39th Mr.

Cashmore yesterday amended his proposal to 75 days and from Atlantic Ave. The reasons originally advanced for the discontinuance of the water traffic was that it would interfere with construction of the tubes for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel beneath the ferry slips. Although representatives of various local merchant organizations and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce were present at the hearing, they were not called upon to speak because of the unanimous approval of the board.
