c. D. To Report on
1912 Cars

What's happened to all those
savings auto manufacturers were
supposed to make, to aid the ma
tional defense? Gu found few
traces of them in this seasons
models. True, some substitutions
of one metal for another, or
plastic for "a metal, have been
forced on the manufacturers
land its too soon yet to tell how
they will turn out). But also,
manufacturers have made ex-
pensive and unnecessary changes
in the body styles. Use of bright
work and plastic trim is mort ex-
trayagant than ever. And i'm
provements which would make for
significant gas economy have not
been introduced. Bodies are
heavy, engines about the same
as last years. Most 1912 cars
will have difficulty even in meet
ing the gas mileage of previous
models. One exception is Stude-
baker, which has changed it's
axle ratios towards greater econ
omy.
Prices are higher all along the
line. Some manufacturers, like
Chrysler. are refusing to set any
list price-a move against con-
sumers at the present time.
In February, Gu will report
in detail on the 1912 models. In
the meantime, it can be stated
that 1941 models at the old prices
are definitely better buys. The
Studebaker Champion =, is likely
to be best buy in its price class
for the coming year.

January Set for
Radio Fund

TIE National Coop Radio
Committee, meeting here last
week, set the three months of
January, February and March
as the period for drive to find
Fifty Thousand One-Dollar-A-
Year-Men who are anxious to
make individual contributions
to tell America from the house
tops" about the advantages of
consumer cooperation. The pro-
posed broadcast series will be
part of the Nationwide Coop
Drive.
In preparation for the cam
palgn, the committee is preparing
Coop Radio Fund stamps and
other materials, which in them
selves will help tell the story of
cooperation as individuals make
contributions to the radio fund.
Radio committees will be set up
in regional and local coopera-
tlves, not only to help with the
drive but to organize listening
groups when the series gets
underway later in the year. EN-
phasis of the drive will be on
voluntary individual contribu-
tions by coop members who want
to give more than their present
contribution of cents per mem
ber per year to the national edu-
catlonal work on cooperation.

on some important matter, tell MIN with sweet smile
that have nothing to Then after the meeting tell
everybody how the matter ought have been handled
8. Never do anything than is necessary, but
when members roll up their sleeves and willingly and ur
sefshy make things hum, complain that the outfit after
all is run by clique
9. dues assessments required hold them back
as long possible, or better, don't pay at all.
10. Don't bother about members; let George do it.

Greatest Coop Is
Il Years Old

On Monday, September 8, the
giant London Cooperative So
ciety, largest retail cooperative in
the world, came of age.
1t was born on September 8,
1920 when the Stratford and
Edmonston societies united to
form The London Cooperative
Society. Almost incuperable prob
lens befell the organization at it's
inception and in the crisis year
of 1922 no dividends were paid,
trade and membership fell and
earnings had to be used for stock
reduction. In 1922, the society
had 11l,988 members, trade of
3,215,000 pounds and 2,949 en-
ployes. BY 1880, the society's
membership had more than
trebled to 100000; sales had
grown to the colossal sum of
9,428,000 pounds and 1O,474
employees were serving an ever-ex-
tending membership.
Today, on it's twenty first
birthday, The London Coopera-
tive Society serves a trade area
of 400 square miles. 1t has 817,-
OBS members. It's trade exceeds
100000 pounds approximate
ly 65,S000,000) annually; and
over 10000 employees serve the
society. Scared by repeated
"Blitzes', bereft of the loyal
service of over 5000 employees,
who are now in the armed forces,
and effected by evacuation-The
London Cooperative Society car
ries on, still a giant, still the
worlds mightiest society and still

In the Interest of Public Safetu

The resignation of two of the three doctors empoved
by the Health Association again leaves Greenbet without
adequate protection Greenbel has faced with
this situation before in fact so often that if has now
matter of public interest feel that no longer can the
erna strife OF the Health Association be ignored and
passed off just another organzatona fight Your safety
ana your nelghbors safety in emergency depends en-
tlrey upon the doctors employed by the Association
Inc Health Association stands charged with the public
responsibility of acquiring and maintaining an adequate
meocal sa so long keeps the open for treat
ment to all persons members and non-members alike and
so long as remains under tie cooperative agreement of
Greenbe whereby all services Greenbet are to be main
tanned by cooperatives.
The Heath Associations rcord of dsunv in tho nos+
few months has been bring blush of shame to the
whole cooperative movement and loud laughs from the
members of organized medicine
In the interest of public safety feel that the Health
Association must clean its house of any person or
and all factions that preventing the association
from performing its necessary public function Failing to
do this will only give impetus to the demands that Green
belt be opened to resident private practitioners
Our statements herein seem to he direct contra
dcon of our pledge support the cooperative movement
and especially Greenbet cooperatves We still believe that
after housecleanng bigger and better Health Associa-
ton could out In the meantime our pledge to the
public interest is important in this case than ANYTHING
else Our safety comes first above all matters any
person who reads into this editorial statements thoughts
that do not appear does at his risk We are not
taking sides in the controversy but decryng the whole
situation Both factions their hackers and personnel are
equally damned in sight because we believe that
Woulu Spenu as mucn time to help the
ASSOCIATION as they do attempting to stab the other fellow
the association troubles would soon iron out
There those who claim that the situation is beyond
peaceful settlement mediation claiming that no
point be reached from which settlement agreement
can be worked out In the face claims of both fac
lions that they attempting to cooperative medi-
cine IN Greenbe those claims silly There no finer
point of agreement from which can be made than
the belief in cooperative medicine Therefore, if both sides
are sincere their desire to further cooperative medicine
they can meet and settle their differences through the
medium of that belief if nothing else

BURCESSES PLAN
 BUDGET MEETING
Session to Be Held Next Week--Number of Re-
 quests Not Known

Naugatuck, March IA - The first budget meeting of the board of warden and burgesses will probably be held the latter part of next week Warden John J. Sheridan said to- day.
 The exact day has not yet been decided. It is probably the meeting will be an informal one.
 Just how many departments have submitted budget requests for the next year is not known. It is certain neither the school nor welfare de- partments have submitted requests yet because the respective boards for these departments have not acted upon budget suggestions yet.
 With indications pointing to 8 surplus of nearly $l0,000 in the well fare department. the picture for the fiscal year ending soon is brighter as this should off set the education department deficit which may well run over $10,000 and there may be surplus in the general budget.
 The board usually holds two or three informal budget meetings be- fore taking formal action on the budget. The informal sessions are likely to develop disputes.

DAY NURSERY CONCERT SET
New Haven Symphonic Or- chestra to Play Here
 Wednesday Night

Naugatuck, March 14.-Mrs. John J. Wrinn, entertainment chairman, and her committee, are extending every effort completing final ar- engagements for the concert by the New Haven Symphonic orchestra, in the Gem Opera House, Wednesday evening March 19, for the benefit of the Naugatuck Day Nursery.
 It is expected that every seat will be taken for this musical treat. Harry Berman, member of the faculty quartet of the Yale School of Music and an assistant conductor of the New Haven Symphony, will conduct for the evening. MT. Ber- man is one of those rare individuals, an artist who treats his work seri- ously and respectfully.
 The New Haven Symphony was founded in 1895, with Horatio Parker, dean of the Yale Music School as its conductor, the orches- tra has continued the tradition of dean-conductors. They aim to make symphonic music, competently per- formed, available to the community at popular prices, and to present established as well as aspiring solo, istS.
 If the advance sale of tickets is & criterion, it is already conceded that the public recognize the am- bilious endeavor of the nursery committee in presenting to music lovers this musical venture.
