Miss Hoffman Thinks Greenbelt "SweIp

Miss ollie Hoffman in resigning her post in con-
smer education in Greenbe1t leaves many friends who
appreciate what she has done In the various co@ud-
ty activities. Her training in social sciences in
the Universities of Nebraska, Washington and Cal l.
fornia has been valuable vehicle in her work here.
ALSO her work with the American Association Of Uni
versdty Women in California In their study
program has given her ideas what the consumer
needs to know in order to buy wisely. Two months
prior to her coming to Greenbelt In December 1887
Miss Hoffman took course at the Rochdale Institute
in New York. Except for two months in the sumner of
1898 when she asked to go to Greenhis, Ohio to
start the type of work ta she had 1naugurated
here, she has been with constantly.
Says Mss Hoffman Of her stay in Greenbelt, NJ
have enjoyed working with the people here. There Is
such cross section of people from all parts Of the
country that my work has been most interesting"
Kiss Hoffman has found that the better acquainted
people become the more apt they to forget their
differences. This has been very encouraging sien
although she believes that it has handicapped the
develoment of unity which people reared in the same
environment would have acquired readily.
Of the women Of Greenbelt Hiss Hoffman states
that, "the rearing of children HASN'T handicapped
these to retard their social contacts or
interest in community problems"

co-oPS oUTsRIPPnG PERSONNEL SUPPLY

serious personnel problem has been caused by
the rapid growth of urban cooperative during the
past t"o years, accord ng to recent release from
the Consumer distribution Corporation. It is limos
s1ole to open more stores because of Lack of an
Immediate supply of trained grocery managers.
To meet the situation, grant from the Good Will
Fund has made possible the organi zati on of council
which is planning two extensive training oour ses
next year-one for the imr ovement and strengthen
ing OF new cooperative stores and the other the
recruiting and selecting of potential cooperative
managers.
The Good Will Fund founded by the late Edward
AZ F1ene who also founded the Consumer Dstri butt on
corporation which supplies the funds to operate the
Greenbelt Consumer Services until these stores are
taken over by the citizens of Greenbelt.

approach to the masculine touch is

Distance is Your Problem

Almost everything the Northwest produces
must be hauled long distances.
Wheat, to flour mills and, as flour, to far flung
cities everywhere;
Cattle, from western ranges to packing plants.
and eventually to the tables of consumers through
out the nation;
Seed potatoes from the Red River Valley to the
Southern States,-l 500 miles;
Apples, from the State of Washington to Chicago
and New York,-from 1000 to 5000 miles.
Most of our products, in fact, must find their
way to populous, distant markets where they are
consumed or put to
But after they hauled these long distances,
and unavoidably at considerable cost they gen
orally cannot be sold for any than similar
products which are shipped to the markets
from producing areas that are closer.
These great distances are unacceptable facts.
All that any of us can do about it is to try to
minimize this handicap SO far as possible.
And that has been the policy of the Great North
ern Railway from its earliest days,-to provide
highly efficient transportation; to help you find prof
liable markets for what you grow; and to try to
make rates that will enable you to sell your products
prohtably in those markets.
Bur the extent to which the Great Northern
be helpful depends upon two things:
1.-How cheaply we can produce the trans
portation you require; and,
2.-HoU closely come to using our
transportation facilities to their full capacity,
because VOLUME is the only thing that uIl
spread and thin OUT the expense of maintain
ing our railroad plant and its overhead costs.
The handicap of distance is only made more
burdensone by public policies, laws and regula
tons which add unnecessarily to the cost of furnish
ing your railroad Transportation or which artih-
ciay divert traffic from the railroad to other forms
of transportation through subsidies unequal regu-
lation and unequal taxation.
When the bulk of lDhat you produce must be
moved hundreds and eUen thousands of miles
by railroad, the effect of public policies on the
cost of each mile of this transportation be-
comes matter of grave concern.
