                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. FRANK A. CREMEANS

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 1996

  Mr. CREMEANS. Mr. Speaker, the Dayton Power and Light Co., which 
serves my district, was honored in a Capitol Hill ceremony here in 
Washington, receiving the Edison Electric Institute's Common Goals 
Special Distinction Award for outstanding achievements in community 
responsibility/special needs.
  Mary Kilbane, DP&L's school program coordinator, and Ann Farmer, 
manager, corporate communications, were presented the award by EEI 
president Thomas R. Kuhn.
  The award recognizes DP&L's energy conservation and environmental 
awareness patch program. The course uses hands-on activities, visual 
aids, and creative learning techniques to teach Girl Scouts and Boy 
Scouts in the company's service area about energy production and 
conservation and how these functions affect the environment. When 
participants complete certain requirements, they qualify as energy 
smart citizens. Scouts receive a colorful way to go patch with second-
year students able to earn a Lucky the Dog pin. With such incentives, 
DP&L's program in 3 years educated more than 10,500 scouts and leaders.
  I want to extend my congratulations and best wishes to Dayton Power 
and Light for receiving the EEI Common Goals Award and for its good 
work on behalf of a better community. Congratulations, DP&L.
