Greenbelt cooperator., 1938-12-22

The cooperative in Greenbelt is said to
have been started in a different way from
most cooperatives Why are they different?
Most cooperatives ar started by groups
Of individuals who begin with an idea.
They spend a long time reading, studying,
and discussing cooperation. learning all
they can about it in that way. They try
to interest others. and when sufficient
number are interested. buying club is
formed. This club does not own or rent
any building or fixtrre es, but buying
through the club gives the members exper-
ience inhying from WHOLESALERS and teach
es them the rudiments Of retail merchand-
Using. In addition to these expert riencess
the members Of the club accumulate saw
ings and some reserves which be uti-
lized in setting up real store or re-
tail outlet when it is deemed feasible.
Through these steps a cooperative is said
to be built from the ground up.
In Greenbelt, Of course, the process was
reversed because Of necessity. The stor res
were here first; the membership in the
cooperative is coming later. Instead Of
"playing store", as the buying club stage
ght be called, the residents here have
real stores in operation. They are learn
ing about merchandising by studying them.
In one case the studying preceded the o.
pening of the retail out1et;in the other.
the opening Of the outlet preceded the

mitted; what the effect is ON the total
number of animals is not known.

a record of animals he found dead
along the 1S-mile stretch on M-21 be-
tween IOnia and Fowler Mr. Petrie
travels the road twice daily During

Democrats, administration Democrats, and Repub-

Republicans, Yankee Democrats and southern Dem
ocrats.
The Republicans, with about ITO members will
constitute the largest of these groups in the house.
next in order will come the Yankee Democrats
The latter may be thought of as subdivided into
independents and adminstrationists The Republ-
cans and southernerS rot without their divisions
along fundamental lines but the former have re-
newed cohesive force, and on subjects having a Sec
tonal aspect of substantial majority of the south
ernefs may ordinarily be depended upon to vote
alike.
The divisions are not new, but the election has
given them a new meaning The addition of 80
seats to the 80 they held before, by the Repub-
leans, sets up new balances of power that may, IN
some instances, effect material weakening OF the
administration bloc. Situations can easily be mag

continues to hold powerful strategic position as
