coa1TTEE OF FORTY OF coo.

Marketing at New York University, helped Greenbelt

Operatives. f-0O-0H' u o0
AS the question of credit the service station
had arisen earlier in the meeting Prof nr,-v told
OF the experience Of cooperative in North Dakota
which at first sold only for cash, but later under
the stress Of depression and drought, PERM tied
credit also.
Accounts receiva rose to great heights but
cash fell. until finally the concern had no cash
with which to buy the commodities it sell
to say nothing Of cash with which to- pay patronage
returns. Bankruptcy narrowly averted by an Inn
mediate return to cash plus basis. Whereby members
had not only to pay cash for subsequent purchases
but also had to add a percentage Of outstanding
accounts. The members Of the cooperative, by Of
fering themselves "service". very nearly denied
themselves all services.
Profess mury quoted Peter Warbasse's remark
that on the tmbstones of most this cumtry's
deceased cooperatives be written "Died of Too
much credit"
Professor Dr,ry pointed the Importance Of an
educational program in developing a cooperative,

Rr was after midnight. Late even, for old
Doc Collins. But he'd tell Jim the good
d news, explain to him about the morphine,
and head for home. He sure was sleepy;
weary, too. But it had been good night S
work. He'd saved two lives.
He tugged absently at his straggly, gray
mustache and pushed through the screen door
of Jim's Roadside Tavern.
Rob Bascum sat in far corner leaning
over the radio which sputtered static from
the short wave field. On the table beside him
was plate with half-eaten wedge of pie.
Doc Collins said. "Howd'y Rob -. Jim
about?''
Rob was a big redhead dressed in the
horizon-blue tunic and dark blue breeches of
the Massachusetts, State Police. He nodded
toward the door. "Jim's out back, Doc, going
crazy Since l dropped in for this piece of
pie, he's stuck his head through the door at
least three times to ask for you. Rob grinned.
"Whatve you got, Doc, that ain't?'
WELL I've got the kind of news he wants
to hear, Rob- But Sally's had pretty tough
time of it. Guess Id better -"

When Hogface swung to his feet Doc COL

counter. The mans voice was snarl.

he said. Il thought you wouldn't want to
muss that fancy uniform" Then he blew
them kiss with the muzzle of his automatic
and was lost in the shadow of night.
Doc Collins heard wheels spin on the gravel
driveway and from his spot behind the coun-
ter saw blaze of light swing north over the
ribbon-like pike.
Rob started for the door.
Wait minute, son. Doc Collins shouted.
Wait, hell! I'm goin' to get those guys!"
Listen" the doctor ran out and grabbed
Robs arm. They're headed north. You'll
find them few miles down the road ="

Mustache slid behind Rob's towering figure.
"All right, boy scout, you're first. A vicious

Rob shifted his feet toward the wall. His
face flushed spotted red and Doc caught the
look of desperation flowing from his eyes: saw
the muscles of his back twitch beneath his
fitted tunic. Was he going to try something
foolish?
Holding Rob's gaze he shook his head
slowly deliberately. No use taking any
chances. They wouldn't be long, surely. But
as Mustache reached into Docs pocket for his
wallet, Rob had sudden itch to clip the fel-
low between the eyes.
Mustache vadlted the counter, punched the
register key marked cash and cleaned the
compartments. Instantly, he was over the
counter again and started for the door.
Hogfaces eyes swept the tavern. Wait!
This amt bad joint. We eat here. I'm
hungry! That white-faced kid'll serve"
Mustache hesitated, shrugged his shoulders
and moved to a table near the door. Hogface
motioned to jim. Some sandwiches, kid -
roast beef" He backed slowly toward the
table.
Doc watched the retreating figures legs
with sharp fascination. The left foot swept
backward, the left shoulder dipped slightly in
unconscious rhythm. He was lame all right. In
his left leg too. The Yonkers killers. And if
Hogface realized that he knew about that

"You!" Hogface made an emphatic motion
with his gun.
Doc jumped perceptibly, but looked straight
into the squirting eyes.

Doc moved behind the counter mumbling
to himself. He still couldn't believe it. Things
like this just didn't happen in the country

He looked at Rob: ten minutes ago it had been
sergeant stripes and his picture in the paper.
Now there he was, his face to the wall, his
arms upraised.
And there was jim, carving roast of beef,
his eyes expressing numbed misery. And no
wonder. His wife had nearly died; his boy had
come within an inch of being born dead; and
now his cash was stolen.
But thank Heaven, Sally didn't know about
this. Sally was asleep. Doc Collins grimaced
as he drew two cups of coffee. Yes, funny
thing life was, surely.
