NEW YORK. April 21 -_ ((A9) .- A shaggy-bearded man of 33. dug out after 10 years of fantastic solitude in a dank cubbyhole, yearned today to return to the tenth-like cubicle in which his mother scaled him when war broke out in 1939. .

Shoelcss, filthy, his clothes ln rags, Paul Makushak, one-time college student, stood on wobbly legs and blinhd into the unatlll- tomed glare of electric lights.

‘ "I liked it in there," he said. '-"I'd like to go back. I don't care about the outside World." Police took him to a hospital.

’ The man told a strange story of voluntary exile since 1W9 -— when his mother scaled him off from the world with s wall of wood and plaster at the outbreak of the Second World War.

‘ Makushak spent the l0 years in a tiny walled-in cubicle built in 1hr; corner of a. littered third-floor bedroom in a brownstone house in the Greenpolnt section of Brook-

lyn.

His father, who runs a tailor shop in the same building. said he never knew his son was im- prisoned in the house.

The cubicle, about three feet wide and five long - scarce- ly big enough to hold Makushak when he stretched on the floor to sleep - had been devised, police said, because his mother presum- ably tvanted him to escape beinz drafted.

"The draft?" he rctillctl to qurs-

draft. That was in 1917. ‘Flash’?! it?’

He said he didn't “believe in violence." and ﬂdded "I 5°!“ know" when asked if he would have gone in th, arm?- _ _

The story of Makushaks 1m- prlsonznenl came to the atten-

tion 0.1 police last nizht after the mother, 58-year-old Mrs. Anna Makuahak, entered a hospital.

Leading Prlzo Winning Essay: 0n otttnt Unions

Ibllowlng ls the 1st prise essay. Grade X in the contest sponsor- ed by the Credit Union League on "me Role of the predit Un- ion in the Development of Com- munity Welfare."

By Simeon Farmer, Kinkora

‘Ilhe Credit. Union has marked s. milestone in our economic and social development. A Credit Un- ion might well be compared to a brick wall. In time oi’ attack. of what use would be a wall o! per- fectly formed, uniform bricks pil- ed onc on top of another with no mortar to cement them io- gethcr? It would be wholly in- efficient. So’ it ls with a conunun- lty of independent individuals without harmony and a spirit of co-operatlon. On the other hand, effective community life is the combined action of the individ- unl. of the community. Most crrrrltunllics have i-he same cccn-

tlomng “I do“, km“. Emu, ma: cmlc and social and moral diffi-

culties to meet. We can -easlly overcome these difficulties l! we work together in unity. In union thege is strength.

One of the great roles oi the credit union in helping the com- munity ls its tendency to tench the adults and the children the hnblt of thrift. The Credit Union is intended almost entirely for the common people. Through their small savings. week by week, they nre able to amass enough money to carry on their own eoonorrﬂc enterprises. Through the Credit Union, people can make their money work for them in their own ccrrtrrumitles. One of the great

surprises people get is the amount

You cannot buy much with s. uysu sum of money. but you can tr e it to buy yourself the begin- ning of an excellent new habit. that of saving par-t of your money each pay day. and thereby build- ing up a fund on which to fall back when the cash runs “l.hln." Wouldn't it be comforting to have even one hundred dollars tucked away where you can got. it when you need it? What you save at the out-set may not be much. But here's the point: put it aside. in- stead of spending it, and you already have acquired the sense of saving; and these small n- mounts pile up surprisingly fast. with steady saving. O I O

Here is a story of how the Credit Union boosted a little vil- lage out o! the dumps and set. it on its feet again; The resi- dents of the community. Mlmbie, were so poor that many of them were moving to n more favored part of the country But as dsvs went. by there cams to ttlte vil- lage a new man, bringing with him the idea. of a Credit Union. Soon he was able to persuade the people that this place could be built up. Within six montlhs their Credit Union was able to provide a loan large enough to build a lobster canning factory. At the end of the first year they had

Upon application to and ap- proval of the Credit Committee. a member may rocedvo a loan. at a reasonable rots of in from the a-cdlt. Union for pro- ductive and beneficial Pumas. This is an example of such a loan: A man, wishing to purchase a stove, found that the the pwlol was seventy-five dollars. the ouh price. fifty-five. Ha borrowed the money from the credit Urdon and repaid it. five dollars a. month. The loan cost him three dollars and thirty cents, making the colt of the stove fifty-eight dollars 1nd thirty cents. He was thus ambled to save sixteen dollars and seven- ty cents. Don't you think the Credit Union was important hers?

The Credit Union has served ll a motivation in our adult odu- cation program which is so im- portant today. If this organisation could be studied and established to serve the best interests of a group of people in every com- munity, what might not the study of other topics do? As a general rule, the people have been advised to study the history. aims and techniques of the whole Credit Union movement. the importance of which can be seen everywhere. O I O

C. N. S. Resumes Woof India Service

(Canadian Ptcu) Canadian National Stoamshlps yesterday (Wednesday) resumed its Welt Indies passenge service. Interrupted by the Canadian Sea-

tq-qe, men's Union (TLC) strike and the

company said all its principal lhlpa now are. ’ by members of the Seafarers‘ International Union (A.F.L )

eastern deep-lea lhipowners brought about the strike call last March 31 of the left-wing C.S.U.

A freighter in Halifax prepared to fake on an S.I.U. crew, and in Capetown, South Africa, a C.S.U. crew joined the strike,

A street disturbance in Montreal resulted in warrants for the arrest o! seven men, laid to be C. S. U. members. The warrants were re- quested by the S.I.U. and the charg- es are grievous and common ss- asult.

Longlho =...=.. in Saint John, N. 3., received u. sharp warning against aiding C.S.U. strikers. Jos- eph Ryan, president of "the Inter- national Longshoremenhs Assnrln- tlon (A.F.L.), said in New York that unless the aid is stopped ths faint John local may lose its char-

er,

Ryan also laid if the Canadian district of the S.I.U. asks, ho will order his union members on the United States side o! tho Great Lakes to stop working C. S. U.- manned ships.

Union has the most democratic set-up in the world. c

The moral significance of the Credit Union cannot be overlook- 6d. It develops the rig-ht type of human character. one most necessary quality developed by the Credit. Union is honesty. “l-lowl" one may ask. The answer is: "The brotherhood that it engenders and the group sanction attached to it.” Without: honesty there could not be n community of happy peace-loving people. In a coun- try uutlof whose entire populn. ticn there are two million people in uven thousand Credit Union organizations, it is claimed that the ratio of loss through dishon. arty 1s the lowest of any kind o! financial institution.

1s a Credit Union just anmher bank? No. Unlike a bank. it pro- vides ls-i opportunity for the peo- nll to nvc small amounts at rerun: intervals: it has no paid officials except perhaps a mans. gcr. It is owned, controlled and opera/ted by the members. ‘Through their combined efforts they make their dollars esrn mm dollars, in an honest. Christian way. since these ume dollars become the ex- terior way of showing their good will and Renerositv to their fel- lowman. whoever he may be. The surplus is returned to the own- erl. who in turn. will expend it as a. irue ctr-operator, in services that ‘ﬁll benefit both himself and his cmuntmitv. Thus we see inst the Credit Union has not only marked a milestone In our econ- omic development. but that. it offers to all mankind a haven of security.
