BROTHERHOOD
MONTH SET
Albert E. Forster Named
Chairman For Drive
This Year
DURING FEBRUARY

Albert E. Forster, president,
Hercules Powder Company has
been named Brotherhood Month
Chairman, which this year will be
observed in February, it was an
nounced by regional co-chairmen
c. Douglass Buck, Jr., William
Duffy, Jr., and Sidney Laub, of
the sponsoring National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews. Har-
vey S. Firestone, Jr., chairman of
the board, Firestone Tire and Rub
ber is National Brot h erh o o d
Month Chairman. President Els
enhower for the second year in
succession will be serving as Hon
orary Chairman.
''The 1856 observance of Broth
erhood Month marks its 23rd An
niversary," Mr.. Forster said. First
celebrated in 1884 with 300 COM
munities in the United States par
ticipating, it is now observed by
more than 10000 communities in
every section of the country"
Defining Brotherhood as "giv-
ing to others the rights and re-
spect we want for ourselves" Mr..
Forster explained the purposes of
Brotherhood Month as follows:
1. To give people an opportun-
ity to re-dedicate themselves as
individuals to the basic ideals of
respect for people and human dig
nifty which are essential to our
way of life.

luton in 1884. One of the early
lighthouse keepers, Kendall Bat
son, is believed to have built the
Burton house on the Circle in
Georgetown which was occupied
by the Farmers Bank as its ear
liest Office in Georgetown. For 159
years, old Henlopen Lighthouse
guided shipping to the Delaware
Bay. over the years the erosion
of the sand and the high dune on
which it stood, endangered the
structure. When, in 1924 the foun-
dation became almost completely
uncovered, it was abandoned. On
April 13, 1926, this fine old light
house-one of the earliest on the
Atlantic Coast-toppled into the

CALENDAR BY
FARMERS BANK
Drawing BY Betty Harring-
ton Macdonald, Artist,
Outstanding Work
LIGHTHOUSE AT LEWES

AS usual, the Farmers Bank of
the State of Delaware calendar
for 1856 is truly a Delaware cal
endar. Betty Harrington Mac
Donald, the artist, has drawn one
of the outstanding pieces of her
art work. 1t is Cape Henlopen
and its Lighthouse. Of course, the
calendar is titled "The Entrance
to Delaware Valley, U.S.A." The
legend under the calendar reads
as follows: "Cape Henlopen is the
Delaware Cape marking the en-
trance to Delaware Bay. Between
it and New Jerseys Cape May,
the commerce of nations burrows
its course up into the vast indus
trial region of the Delaware Val
ley. The old Henlopen Lighthouse
was built in 1867 to replace an
earlier light established on the
cape in 1725. 1t was a stone tow
er hexagonal in shape and painted
white, with thick walls, narrow
windows and a spreading brick
foundation. Legend says the stones
were brought from England as
ballast for ships returning to the
colonies for additional loads of
early American products. During
the Revolution, the patriots ex-
tinguished the light hoping to
wreck British vessels. But instead,
the British landed and burned out
the interior. The light did not
shine again until after the Revo-

things which people can do to
promote understanding and reali-
zation of these ideals.
8. To enlist the support of a
large number of people in year
round activities to build Brother
hood.

ell them where and how to OBJ

expanding into a power deficit
and some capable person should
be hired to advise us concerning
other power potentialities.
2. I have never given this ques-
ton any though. It seems though
that the first thing to do is in
quire why REA have a rate diff
ferential. Then I can decide
whose side to be on.
3. I believe that in organiza-
tons of this kind, the board
should deliberate and then vote,
concerning gifts, loans and in
vestments. The treasurer should
then do as instructed by the
board.
4. The number of directors will
have very little effect on the eff
ficiency of government. However,
increasing the number will allow
little more personal contact be-
tween the consumers and the di-
reetors.
5. It is news to me that I am
seeking election. Part of the nom
mating committee solicited per
mission to place my name on the
ballot. Observation indicates
that honor positions extract from
the individual a great deal of
though, time, and effort, which
could be utilized to advantage in
other ways. Hence if the people
decide that it is someone else's
turn to serve, I shall be very
happy.

In an effort to reflect the can

es Of MEA business and policies,
The Frontiersman submitted a
list of five questions to each
candidate, requesting that they
be returned SO that the answers
could be printed in this weeks
issue of the Valley newspaper.
The following text is a copy of
the questions mailed to each can
iidate:
l. Do you believe that MEA
should appropriate money for
power exploratory work outside
MEA Territory? If SO. why?
Q. Do you believe that MEA
should seek permission from REA
to equalize pow-r rates of bust
ness in the Urban area and rates
in the Rural Areas? (At the pres
ent time business rates in the ur-
ban areas are higher than those
IN the rural section).
8. Did you approve of MEAS
method of making $4,000 avail
able to the Central Alaska Power
Association tcAPAl? If SO, Why?
4. Do you believe that seven
directors are necessary for CO.
operative the size of MEA? If so.

Directors of the Matanuska EIec-
trio Association?

tons by number, the following

standpoint seven directors would
seem desirable. On the other

as a candidate, and If the MEM

see any business advantage to

CAPA has any tangible assets to
consider as security for this am
cunt of money.
4. I believe that five directors
are sufficient for the direction of

operative. Working with seven
directors would be more cumber-
some than working with five.
S. In seeking election it is my
hope that can truthfully repre-
sent the wishes of the consumers
who make up this cooperative.
It is my feeling that certain ae-
tons of the present board, such
as promoting the interests of
CAPA and lengthy attendance at
Stateside meetings do not repre-
sent the wishes of tn majority of
the power users. If extra profits
are available my wish would be
to stimulate greater use of cleo
tricity by lowering the rate sch
