The largest crowd of the season attended the hockey match on Thursday evening, and a large number of the fans enjoyed the usual hour's skate after the game, on the best sheet of ice this sea- son. By the large attendance at those games it is plainly seen that the hockey played in the N. S. H. League is both thrilling and satis- fying, every minute being chock full of action. disappointing no one that attended.

At a. meeting held on Wednes- day evening, it was decided by the young ladies of our fair town to once more ‘have a girls’ hockey

‘team this winter, and all are now

working industriously to have ev- erything in readiness for their first game which they hope to have at an early date. They hold their first workout on Saturday evening and after a few of those, hope to have a team equal to any on PE Island. With several additions to what is left of the "old guard" it is believed by all they will have a team as good as. if not superior to any had here in recent years.

berton branch of the Holy Name i Society.)

The (Jo-operative Movement arose from the recognition of the fact that a few owners of capital in the world today are exploiting the many who must of necessity work under these capitalists in order to live. The great movement is a result oi a world gone money- crazy, of a world where a few fin- ancial and social magnates are bleeding millions of their cm- ployees while they themselves live in luxury and grandeur.

From the time that factories began with their ever-increasing devices for larger output, society has been divided into two classes. the capitalists who live on their- accumulated savings, and the iab- , orers who live by their manual i

linen attempts to seek a solution.

energy. .

The result of this falling down of the majority is that we have passed our branches of industry and finance over to those who are profiting well by their so-cailed "serving us". The people are now waking up to the fact that they have 10st control of banking, transportation, heating. lighting. marketing and education. Natur- ally most interesting to us is the history of this movement in East- ern Canada, or more specificaly, in the Maritime Provinces.

It is only within the past few, years that people are coming to realize the fact that education in youth is but a formal preliminary to the more practical set-up later on in life. Today we know that education goes on as long as life itself. It is now an mtabiished and scientifically proved fact that man can learn till ipr advanced in life.

The best motive for learning is necessity. Adhering to this truth, St. Francis Xavier University first discovers the particular problem of a Community whether it be fishing, farming or mining and

This requires an arousing of the peoples‘ interest through Study Clubs.

It is a. notable fact that St. F. X. has never found a settlement so down and out that it cannot be built into an active commun- ity- Here in Nova Scotla was a country with a half-million peo- Dle engaged in farming, fishing and mining and many of those r ople. especially those engaged in fishing, were confronting a poverty which we living in an agricultural country, iail to comprehend.

Educating The People

For some twenty-five years the professors of St. F. X. were in- teresbed in the people's problems. It was not till 1928 that a separ- ate department was established. A member of this Extension De- partment goes out to visit a com- munity where he holds a meeting of all who care t0 attend. These | meetings are often most trying for th_e member who goes out. He may talk on for an hour or so and receive no response whatso- ever irom the audience. Finally perhaps the clergyman of the dis- trict will say a few hurried words.

Personally, I went out to a farming district about fifteen miles from Antlgonish with Pro- fessor A. B. MacDonald of the Extension Staff. When we enter- ed the hall where the meeting was to be held a hush seemed to descend upon the few stragglers who were there. It is often diffi- cult to get these people to come to the meetings. It seemed that these people, the minute we enter- ed the hail. made a rapid pounce into their shell from which 1t was difficult for "A. 13.", even. (as he is better know) to dislodge them.

No doubt it would seem to you, as it did to us. inconceivable that a district so near such an up-to- date town as Antigonish could be so backward.

Prof. "A. B," told us later that

the poorest districts in Nova Scotta are within a radius of twenty-five miles of Antigonish.

Oz- this particular evening Prof. "A. B." was attempting to form a Credit Union. He used a b‘ack- board iliustration to show the people just how they. the major- ity, were supporting the minority. some twenty per cent of the pop- ulation. By using the example of

a bag of flour he clearly showed '

The Keynote

The great keynote of this move- ment ls Co-operation. People know that. individually their force is small but through co-cperatlng or

working together, they soon find ,

themselves in’ the driver's seat directing the wheel of industry and keeping for themselves, the

profits which would otherwise go‘

to others. Some of the many fields in which the people hat".- advanced are. (a) (b) Marketing. (c) Cc-operative Stores and (d) Credit Unions.

(a) Probably the most amazing work of Sf. F‘. X. has been in the manufacturing line. In 1929, fishermen of Nova Scotia were organized. The fish work done was in the cooperative canning of lob- sters and thc selling of live lob- sters to the United States. This was a big success and the move- mcnt spread rapidly, The thirty- fivc factories owned by the peo- p‘c in Nova Scotla are the big- gest single shippers of lobsters in the world today. One little fishing centre Havre Boucher. after pay- ing two cents a pfllllid higher than unorganized fishermen. had as a surplus $10800 at, the close of the two months fishing season. Other examples could be cited to show th. great advancement of the poor people since they have be- come organized.

(b) In the Marketing line the people are beginning to see that they are paying far too dearly for the middleman between producer and consumer. They now aim at elminating these snatchers of Profit. The great difficulty ex- perienced in the marketing line is that the farmers cannot give a

product of a uniform size and quality. (c) The first experience in a

co-operative store was tried by 28 miners in Sydney Mines. C. B. These 28 mincrsopened a. store with a capital of $343. There are now 3500 families in the greatly extended set-up and since they started they have given $3,000,000 in dividends on purchases (or in rebates). Through the help of St. Francis Xavier Nova Scotia now boasts 25 stores which last year did a business of szsozsoo. In the near future the people will extend their ownership to include whole- sale shoe factories, can factories. and many others. These are now 0W0“! by the people in England,

Sweden, Norway, and the Marl. times will soon follow suit. Credit Unions (d) Probably to you the most

interesting field is that cf money and finance in which co-operation hes taken the form of the Credit Union. 'I‘his Credit Union Move- ment began 90 years ago in Ger- many. It came to Quebec through Alphonse Desjnrdins who studied the movement in Germany. In 1900 the first Credit Union was estaizfished at Levis. Quebec. From there it spread to the United States, thence to Nova Scotia, In short, people join a Credit Union in Nova Scctin by paying twenty- flve cent as an entrance fee. They then pay 25c each week till they have saved $5 which gives them a share. Of course they can pay for these shares all at once or in weekly. fortnightly or monthly in- stallmeuts. This money is placed
