It is announced that the negro religious leader, Father Divine, intends to attempt to convert the entire Ulster county into a model co-operative community similar' to Mr. Upton Sinclair's proposed "production for use" communities in California. Father Divine is now operating 25 farming and other enterprises in the county. He hopes, financed by the oublic, to expand the holdings on" which his "angels" work without pay, but with a higher standard of living than in the Harlem slums. ■ . ■ r Ulster residents are alarmed.
