            TRIBUTE TO BOY SCOUT TROOP 28 OF MAPLE SHADE, NJ

                                 ______


                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 11, 1995

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Boy Scout Troop 28 of 
Maple Shade, NJ. On October 7, 1995, members of Troop 28 aided in 
making my Maple Shade town meeting a rousing success.
  I am heartened by the dedication of these young men, and I feel that 
it is necessary to honor their contributions. I wish to thank assistant 
scoutmasters Jim Johnson and Stephen Mandichak, assistant senior patrol 
leader Michael DeNight, Boy Scouts Louis Fala, Douglas Galson, Douglas 
Mandichak, Jared Mandichak, and Brian DeNight, Webelo Cub Scout 
Christopher Fala, and Cub Scouts Richard Fala and Eric Galson.
  In serving the people of the First Congressional District of New 
Jersey, I find it necessary to hold regular town meetings. These town 
meetings cannot possibly become reality without the aid of my 
constituents. The young men of Troop 28 presented the colors of the 
flag of the United States in front of the 50 residents who attended the 
meeting. All those present witnessed a dedication to our country that 
no one can match.
  It is essential that the youth of our Nation become exposed to civic 
affairs. By participating in our government at an early age, these 
young men have learned a lesson that will last a lifetime. It is my 
hope that they will continue to be involved in their community and the 
world around them in the years ahead. I urge all of my colleagues to 
join with me today in honoring Boy Scout Troop 28 of Maple Shade, NJ.
