 He went on to explain that Ter ritorial salaries are set, and that without the advantage of an ample amount of retirement benefit after long periods of work, Territorial jobs will not be attractive enough to hold employees in competition with high wages paid during the present war effort.
 Moore also reminded rural Terri torial school teachers, who are not eligible for retirement under the teachers retirement system, can receive retirement under the Pub lie Employees Retirement Systm be- fore June g.
 The Retirement Board consists of the following: Territorial Aud itor, Territorial Treasurer, Attorney General, Director of Public Welfare, Commissioner of Labor, and the City Manager Of Anchorage.

 Moore said that there are II known members eligible for retire. ment, besides four who have already 1 retired added that there may be others who have not submitted their record of eligibility.
 He also pointed out that any member who does not contemplate retiring can write to the board ask ing a refund of money they have | paid in, or, when the act automat- ically goes out of effect on June p, refunds will be made of all contri- buttons.
 He said when the act was passed in 1949 by the Nineteenth Legisla- ture $20,000 was appropriated for l administration of the act and in the one year the act has been in effect interest on bonds has built up a $5,000 surplus, besides $128,000 which has accumulated in the re- tirement fund from payments with held from wages.

 This resolution called for Con gressional approval of any further peacetime achievements for Eisen- howers force. It was not legally binding on the President and there was a dispute over it's moral persua- tion. Nor did the resolution spell out just how MT. Truman is to obtain Congressional approval.

Moonlight Excursions
On Bay This Summer
EnterDrisiHg Group Plans Trips On
Bay From MispilliOn Light

Beginning early this summer.
Delawareans will get their first
chance to sail the lower Delaware
Bay meath the light of the silVery
moon. An enterprising group Of
business men, incorporated under
the name of Milford Boat Co, plan
to run moonlight excursions sew
eral times weekly, the exact num-
Der to depend upon the weather
and the amount of moonlight, from
MispilliOn Light down the bay
coast.
The cruiser which will be used,
has been remodeled for this type
OF entertainment, and will provide
80 feet Of deck space around the
boat. Thirty-five passengers can be
accommodated on a trip.
Officers of the new corporation
are; John Scott, president: Harlan
Jester, vice president; and James
A. Ward, secretary-treasurer.
Their plans also call for fishing
daily from Mispillion Light on a
price-per-person basis. Thus, the
lone fisherman may be accommo-
dated without rounding up an en-
tire party to rent a boat. This tyne
of fishing charge was we'll receiv-
ed last summer at Indian River In

$4,000 Fire
Burns Four
Beach Homes
Three Cottages Destroy
ed, One Damaged By
Blaze At Big Stone
Beach.

Damage estimated at $4,000 re-
suited at Big Stone Beach on Mon
day of this week when fire of un-
determined origin swept through
four cottages.
The Carlisle Fire Company of
Milford, unable TO get water from
the Delaware Bay, which was
sOlidly frozen along the shore, 1Ian-
aged to check the flames that had
threatened the fourth cottage with
water from their booster tank.
There was no one apparently at
the little bayside resort when the
fire started. Most of the residents
there work some distance from the
resort during the day. One of the
cottage owners Mrs. Frank Nelte.
said she was on her way home
when she saw smoke rising from
the shore.
When she arrived she found her
own cottage practically beyond
control and the one next door Oc-
cupied by Max HOllenbeck pretty
well burned to the ground. She
telephOned for the Milford firemen
and before they arrived heat and
sparks had fired the cottage of w.
E. Walker of Odessa, next door,
which was burning out of control
and the J. NJ. Wolf cottage next
door to that was afire.
Unable to get water from the bay
the firemen managed to extinguish
the fire at the Wolf cottage with
their booster tank. Little more than
$500 damage was caused there.
Firemen placed the approximated
loss as follows: HOllenbeck, $4,000
Nelte cottage. $4,000; Walker cot
tage, about $4,000.
The contents of all the cottages
were destroyed, including all the
clothing.
This is the second large fire that
has occurred at this beach recent
ly. Several nicnths ago fire des-
troyed James HOlleger's cottage
when no one was at the beach.
Firemen believe the fire started
in the HOllenbeck cottage.
