Hello! Are you there?Draw up ?
chair and listen to u little gossip *n*
stuff, by me, who knows.
Well, 'tis Easter time again?and
springtime.
Do you remember? Do you reiuember
Easter time when all the boys and
girls would tag down on Easter Sunday
and stroll the Muln Street (East
Market) ; the boys would crowd the
sidewalk in front of Marrow's Drug
Store and Plaza Suioke Shop, with 11.
Wiley and Parron Crump leading the
men In styles?and the Royal Garden
was the hangout for boys and girls
on the "Main Street"?and Andrew
Mclntoch had the "convertible car"
and wool ilset the" girls' hearts on
fire when It. breezed down "Main
Street"?And Vernon Marsh was" the
young girl's Idea of a second ltobert
. Taylor. Remember?years back on
Easter there were always Easter egg
hunts for the kiddies?Church for the
elders and Ranees for the younger set
. ?When mother and father would let
Junior go to a house party, but must
bo back py ID oVjock?Remember
when Johnnie could "one-step" . and 1
"waltz" and Jimmle couldn't?he was .
.a* wall flower ? Twas*nt -Jitterbugs
?/"lben?Just a fweU party with punch
served without the spike and Ice j
creain with vanilla w'afets?Remember
when A. and T. hat^ bnsebnll on
Easter- Monday and you slipped over '
JjLhe fence or came In on a foul ball? 1
And the war In the past with freedom
and democratic| future ahead.? ,

The Co-Operative
?What Is It?
By VALKNA K. MINOK. '
In many of tbe mint discussions
iilMiut the present wnrhl condition as
jroucht about by this mighty World
IVar II It has lieen staled that the
<alvHth>n <if the allied powers after
"he war Ik over lies In the establlshupnt
of oo-niMTRtlrfe; and u more unitsl
encononilc front. Those words
toutid fbie hut how. ntotiy listeners
tre actually conscious of the slstulfiince
of that statement? It Is ji hasteilly
Kotitnl thought for several reatons.
ll is obvious r?! i In* pulilic tlitil they
mist Ik* educated t?? a level of iutelll:ent
understanding of the co-op l?e'ore
anything constructive can Ik*
lone toward establishing It ns a rltal
'actor In the economic change to
mine. A co-operative can be fnrtucd
:o buy, sell, or prod nee 'collectively
>r to save money. The Idea behind a
*o-op la that, for whatever reason Jt
s being operated. It BELONGS fo It*
nitrons. Take for a brief instance the
x>-operatlve store: A group of Jnler sted
people gather to fnrtimliite plain!or
the store; tliey buy shares In the
rospectlve business; the business Is
iuccessful; at regular Intervals dlvllends
or profits are returned to the
shareholders, NOT on the hasls of the
imnher of shares they hold but on the
muUr of the amount of trade they
mve done with the atore. Another
Ignlfleant principle of co-ops Is thai 1
10 matter how many shares In the
lore a person may'have, he will have
inly' one vote In the meetings con-!
ornltttr (lio innn.Bomfttil nt lh? nlnro '
rhus. n mnn who hag hut one share
ihs a much say-no a* to -how his
lusinesn Is to tie run as the man who
urns several shares. True democracy. |
There are many other equally dem cratic
Idpas by which the co-oiiera;lve
movement 1b guided. They are
mourn as the Jtochdale principles,:
iiken from the name of the place In
Insland where the first sucressful co>p
was operated 1V) years ago. Some
?f the ideas are: (1) there shall
e no discrimination of race or creed.
(2) credit shall not lie tolerated. (Jt)
roods shnll be sold anil wag*** paid
it the prevailing market rate.
Thus a co-operative is operated. It
an he easily discerned .thnt such or:anlxHtlons
would stabilise the eoo>omlc
conditions, would prevent molopulies.
would raise the standard of
Ivlng. To all that say "Co-operalives
ire Com m u n 1st I c" and narrow-mlnd"dly
refuse to listen Intelligently to
liscuHsions "on the subject. the term
"Traitor!" can la? applied. It seem*
Irue that the salvation of the allied
powers and America lies In the establish
