Credit Unions
Ask State Aid
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel
By LYNN NISBET

Raleigh, Feb. 3.-The very Opt
mistic report Of the State Employees
Credit Union was published at an
unfortunate time so far as hopes of
credit union people to get aid from
the general fund are concerned.
The State Employees union re
ports a membership of It'll and
total assets Of S89,44O.74. That's a
right hefty financial institution and
should need no subsidy from any
fund. On the other hand, it is con-
tended by sponsors Of the credit
union appropriation. this and one or
two other big unions pull up the
general average so that average fig
ures fail to show a true picture, and
emphasis is not sufficiently placed
IN the need of the small units.
There are now 124 credit unions
doing business in North Carolina
with a total membership Of 22,925
and total assets of 81 SOC, 1926. That
works out to an average union Of 1876
members, and assets of about SIP
600. While an institution of that
size might be able to stand on its
own feet, obviously the average is
just about a slow as can safely pay
its OWL way and maintain necessary
reserves. SO much union advocates
admit. Then they go further to show
that:
Thirty-tWo, or approximately n
fourth Of the total number of credit
unions. have assets of less than ST.
600 each, while more than fifty ope-
rate oo less than $4,000. Obviously,
.aCcorln" to these figures, the small
unions cTnnot pay auditing fees and
continue" +. live. Credit union
sponsors contend that the service the
unions Gender to low salaried work
and others who otherwise might
become victims of loan sharks more
than c~-mpensates for the expenses
now levied against the general fund
Of the state. The problem is now
before appropriations committee to
determine whether or not the APP
preparation shall be continued.

comes to paying off.
Already the State is CARRYING about

In February, 1887, Sir James

stated that such musical combin-

has written music that includes

This Week In Religion
and Thought
Dark Clouds
BY ROBT. L. MOODY

DdTk
Recent articles in the Pittsburgh
Courier by R. Walter Merguson,
have made thoughtful readers to
shudder with horror. If his revcl-
atoms are true, the French black
troops were used as mere breast
plates for the British and French
armies. Then the later revelat-
ions of what possibly happened to
those who were taken prisoners,
makes the strongest quake with
fear.
Finally, the story of Hans Habe
which is written in the Nation
magazine and quoted in the Cour-
Ter, reveals the method of spread
ing race hatred and Hitler's Six
point program for Negroes. There
is nothing hopeful in any of these
stories, so American Negroes are
left with a three fold duty.
We must pray for, prepare and
protect the principles of true de-
mocracy. We will not have SIM
liar experiences if We do our part
in keeping democracy alive. But
if we fail, woe unto us if the de-
mocracies are defeated. Our only
hope is in the sun of righteous
ness.

Guide thy, Mother tenderly,
Down life's steep decline
Once her arm vas thy support
Then she leaned on thine.
Seen upon her loving face
Those deep lines of Care
Think il was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Meier forget her tireless watch
Kept by day and night
Taking from her step the grace
From her eyes the light.
Cherish well her faithful heart,
Which through many years
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love
Guard the priceless boon,
For the bitter parting hour
COmeth all too soon.
And when thy grateful tender
ness
Lost power to save
Earth will hold no dearer spot,
Than thy mothers grave.
