Following l.s the first prise assay Grade Xi in the contest sponsored by the Credit Union League on “'I\he role of the Ctredlt Union in the development oi national and late. tlonal goodwill and eo-op- eratlon." 0 By Robert Oroken, Bilmmerfisld
The world is full of unrest and anxiety, and thinking men are 9889115’ seeklns e remedy 10l- all the insidious "lslnsfl that are threatening the peace of the world. It is clear that the very ODPNltB oi war and antagmlsm is era-operation, and it seems very logical to conclude that .thereln lies the hope of the world. But Just what do we mean by co-op- eration? All that we have learn- ed about the production oi wealth leads to the conclusion that by working together, men can do far more for themselves as individuals than by working against one another. Ilhls working togelher we call eo-operatlon. While it means combined eiiiort, co-opere- tion does not mean the loss oi individual initiative. enterprise or effort. If it did, it would be valueless, bwause it ls necessary for the powers oi every boy and girl to be developed as fully as possible. It would be a bad thing for society if individuals merely worked like cogs on a. machine. without knowing why they work. But the harmonious blending oi effort for the private and common good is the true meaning of co- operation.
The Credit Union has three chief aims, namely, (l) To pro- mote thrtft; (2) To encourage ln- dustry; and <3) To train its mem- bers in business methods and self-government.
By promoting thrift, how does the credit Union create goodwill and co-operation within a. nation and between nations? Ever? Credit Union requires its mem- bers to save small amounts of money such as 25 cents. weekly or monthly. to deposit in the Credit Union. In this way the rlth Mill the poor deposit money and th! poor may gain a. loan of the rlcn man's money for some benellclal purpose and pay reasonable in- terest on the money. Thus money is distributed to the needy w-ho will-be grateful to those who were willing to co-operate and invest their money through thrift for the use of others. Then every- one feels a sense of security and well-being that promotes goodwill and co-operatlon between the var- ious classes of b80919 l" U" m‘ tlon Since they co-operste and show goodwill to their fellow members ln the community the’! will also show the same rest)?“

How does tine Credit Union PW" mote national and international goodwill and co-operatlcn by on- couraging industry? when the needy members secure loans for productive or beneficial purposes. lt enables them to do the task they wished to do with the aid of a loan. If the loan is used for the purpose for which it is grant- ed, in nine cases out of ten, the member will be successful and will be able to repay the morwl! plus the interest charged. In this way credit Unions promote in- dustry and the well-being of the community through the co-opera- tlon oi the members. This NW- perlty of the small community soon spreads its influence of good- will beyond lta own limits until the whole notion and even na- tions abroad feel its beneficial ei- fects.
How does the Credit Union de- velop national and lnWDIlmnl-l goodwill and cooperation by twin- lng its members in self-govern- ment and business methods?

New Pos‘ y sldlillliflilliliilitell
(YITAWA, April 30 — Postmaster General Ernest Bertrand today an- nounced two new postage stamp issues. On the official anniversary of the birth oi His Maiesty, King George Vi, 6th June, the 1-cent to ll-cant denominations, inclusive, oi postage stamps which bear his portrait and which have been cur- rent’ throughout Canada since i942, will be replaced by new postage stamp issues bearing reproductions of more recent portraits. The new issues will be of the some size and colours as are now in use.
0n the 21st June a special i-cent commemorative postage stamp wll be issued to celebrate the 200t anniversary of the founding of Halifax. The stamp will bear e. scene based on a painting by C. W. Jefferys, R. C. A., LL. D., entitled "The Founding of Halifax, 1749" and portrays men assembling original structures on the present site of the city. The construction force and military personnel depicted represent the original force brought from England by the“ Hon. Edward Cornwallis who was commissioned to erect a town on this site and landed at the locat- ion on the 21st June, 1749. This stamp will be 1%" x l" in size and will be purple.
It is planned to have the new stamps placed on sale at the prin- cipal Canadian Post Offices on the dates indicated. First Day Covers for phllatellsts for the new issue King George VI stamps will be handled only by the Postmaster at Ottawa, Ontario, on the 6th June, and for the new Halifax com- memorative stamp by the Post- master at Halifax, Nova. Scoiia, on the 21st June. . taking away their customers, there- by destroying goodwill and co-oper- stlon between nations. But we can answer those critics by pointing out. that the Credit Union, on the contrary, mpports the banks. In 1198713’ B11 cases. the Credit Un- ion deposits its capital in a bank and does its business through a bank. Moreover, by encouraging industry and thereby making a community more prosperous, Credit Unions provide greater business for banks by keeping
more money in circulation.
In 1914 there began 1n Europe a struggle that ls known as world
War I. It involved in the every continent on the globe. Fighting was waged on land and sea. in the air and under the sea, by trade blockades and by propa- ganda. So, after four years, one side lost and the other side won the victory. What was the effect. upon trade? Did the victors find a great prosperity? You know they did not. Following the war, the world was worse off than it was before the great conflict be- gan. ‘There were depressions for all. The victorious nations suffer- ed as well as the vanquished. and all the world became poorer. Old trade connections were broken. Men in different countrlesmeas- ed to have faith in each others Dower to pay bills and to meet their obligations. Traders no long- cr believed in each others credit. Thus a large part of the trade by which the world formerly lived disappeared. and industries within many countries almost came to c. standstill. As a consequence, the problems arising from nation- al poverty became so hard to solve in many countries that the rela- tions oi these countries with their neighbours became considerably strained. Co-ooeratlon between countries gradually grew weaker: and after less than twenty years of peace, most of them uneasy years, smother great. war, even more destructive titan the prev- ious one. broke out. Just think of the difference it would have made to the world if there had existed at this time a strong. well- built systan of co-opersltiorl. If co-operation offers a solution. how can it be taught to all people? My answer ls. "By means of the Credit Union." The economic se- curity through co-oneratlon which can so easily be built by a Credit Union ls a wonderful remedy for periods of depression such as have occurred in post-war years. I O I

booking For Someone To Kill
limping back to his cupboard in Clapham, with five halfpennles in his pocket, Field rekched a. de- clslon.
Since he could not klll himself, he would klll somebody else and let the law deal with him.
One of my most vivid recollec- tions of horror during my police duties was hearing Field's quiet, tired voice say: ". . . then I went down the lDdgeley-y-oad that night, looking for somebody to murder"
He found his victim _. g well. built woman, carrying a brown Pekingese dog that gazed silently at. him while he in crumpled R.A.I*‘. uniform, persuaded her to give him melter for the night.
She was Mrs. Beatrice Vllna Sut- ton, aged 48, living apart from her husband. She had once been a celebrated beauty, had posed for baby food advertisements as "The Perfect Mother."
Now she lived in s furnished room, and when I was called there on April 5, 1980, I found her lying half-dressed on a bed with black satin crounterpane, s black-shaded light, and Wallpaper of mauve- blue.
Pillows were on her face, she had died from fright while Field was trying to strangle her.
I found his fingerprints on an ugly metal candlestick, and his marks on the brass bedrall where he must have steadied himself.
Before he‘cculd give himself up for murder. Field was arrested as an absentee, invited by Edg-wnre police to discuss certain missing mess funds.
Field did not want to discuss mess funds. He had deeper gullts ll" bl! V-YIOUI-Zhla. “What a horrible]
murder .. he said. “--a.nd such, I Strange room —- all black like‘ n. funeral parlour black bed-l

put down his fountain pen. How did this runaway airman know such details of s murder not yet published in the newspapers - s.‘ murder still being clattered out on the police teleprlnters?

Tgls time lt was unavaillng, nor- do think he ever truly wished lt to be otherwise.
For when there was talk Q1 N- Drlcve on the grounds of insan- ity. l-‘ield spoke: "I am not mad —and anybody who tries to save me from the rope that way ls no friend of mine." ,
Awaiting death, he asked for lWbbY- "i wan-t to knit socks for 1119 ‘Wlilderl. so they can have souvenirs," he said. Denied this last request for fear he might hann himself with the needles, Field shrugged. “I worlder what the beer is like down the Strand," he said. He seemed to have fer. siven himself, and died mo" bravely than he had ever lived.
So. for the second time ln the Fingerprint Department, an offic- er unemotlonally pulled open the green metal filing cabinet draw. er, extracted the paper sheet marked: Field. Frederick Herbert Charles." and consigned u, m m, incinerator.
