FEED THE BIRDS

Feeding the birds while the
ground is covered with a deep snow
(Which is prevalent over the entire
State) is imperative.
Sportmen and the public in gen.
eral are asked to please cooperate
in distributing the grain, which
will be furnished by this depart
ment to those who will make it their
business to find coveys of birds and
erect feeding stations in order to
save the brood stock.
| The birds cannot find the feed on
the snow. The snow must be scrap
ed to the ground and the feed scat
tered on the bare ground.
| In the watered areas of this State,
wild waterfowl must also be includ-
ed in this feeding program, and we
therefore earnestly requested the
public to assist in this important
feeding program.
Weather reports are to the eff
feet that bitter cold weather and
heavy SHOWS are still in order and
unless wildlife is fed by the public
the shortage of brood stock for the
coming season will be very very
noticeable.
The District Wardens in each
| County of the State have been noti-
| fed to purchase feed and deliver
same to those persons who are in
terested and will assist in this feed
| ing program.
We solicit your continued inter-
est and cooperation.

English Christmas Pudding

Manufacture of the worlds Christ
mas pudding keeps English firms
busy. One company makes 200 tons
annually, which is less than one
tenth of the national output, a large
part of which is exported to all cor
ners of the world. The pudding
basin manufacturers start delivery
within the first half of the year,
and buildings suitably packed in
weatherproof containers for all parts
of the globe are ready for export in
October. London export officials
conservatively place the value of
this foreign trade at about half a
million pounds sterling.

Apropos Of our milk buying agreement, we are re-
minded of the parable of certain man who, having
called his sons together, handed slender twig
with instructions to break it. The bewildered son
did as his father commanded severing the twig with
ease. Then, producing armful of tMigs each Of
like size to the first but securely bound to its
fellows the father repeated his request passing the
bundle first to and then to the other. Each
of the brothers tugged and strained turn butt try
they might, the bundle wthstood their efforts to
break any Of the individual twigs composing it. By
this simple series of acts the father acquainted his
sons wi universal truth that the power inherent
in a group Of persons Joined in single purpose
ceeds in intensity the total of the WELD
ed by the individuals acting Independently and
without organization toward the end.
So It is whenever cooperation takes the place Of
indt vtdua1 effort whether the group takes the form Of
Q government chamber of commerce, conswers'
group a basketball team. So it is with our Milk
Buying Club.
By modifying buying power and acting as a

realizing substantial reduction in the price of

When can I get the dividend on my credit union
savings?
The dividend of 4ss which declared by action
of the members of the annual meeting may be
obtained now. Just bring your passbook to the
credit union office and have the amount Of your
dividend entered in the same way you would if
you were making a deposit. The money may be
drawn out In cash of course, although most people
seem to prefer to add it to their share account
and have it earn them still more money.

Why the Greenbe1t Health Association formed?
To provide the comni ty wi tn prompt and complete
medical services at cost vi thin the reach of the
Low income groups. Following "Co-op" principles
it is based the HGolden Ru1er. It is not
designed to help only its members, who the
backbone of this body, and who responsible
for its creation, but to provide means whereby
doctors could pool their resources and have
facilities which they, as individual speed alists,
might find it di fficult impossible to secure.
The doctors have a selfish we'll humane
reason for fostering the expansion Of the Heal tn
Association. Through the assoc3a ton they are
able to render the kind Of service to the
mmity which Is the goal of every sincere physi-
clan and to provide, prompt adequate and complete
medical aid at low cost. Their combined know
ledge is much greater than could be expected from

You say members and approved applicants may re-
ceive patronage returns. What are the chances
that my application will not be approved and
that therefore will receive no patronage re-
turn?
None, if you a resident of Greenbe1t. The
lease with the government and the bylaws of the
cooperative require nat no Greenbe1t resident be
deprived of membership and that person be re-
quired to invest more than ten dollars to become
a member. Non-residents whose aims adjudgeo
to be contrary to the welfare Of the cooperative
may be deprived of membership. With Greenbelt
residents the filing of the application Is
forma1ity, but necessary one, in order that
proper records may be maintained.

Herbert Hoover's statement that the United States

MILK PROBLEM

We have had quite a problem
Concerning milk and butter
That had US going in circles,
Like a boat without rudder.
The prices were exorbitant
And some beyond our means.
That We paid the several dairies
For their milk, butter and cream.
We have started a plan of action
That is sure to serve US we'll,
In purchasing dairy products
That are brought In here to sell.
But we must support the policies
That our committee has so built,
In order to share the benefits
Of cheaper and better milk.
