declared Walling Dykstra, general
manager of the init. Cooperative
Trading Agency. The European war
has forced the agency to cease opera

Dykstra arrived here from London
The offices of the agency which are
preparing to close, were bombed the
night after he left. A number of coop

have been bombed, Dyksthra said.
He asserted that membership in the

Couldn't | give a party in my own
house for my own friends and ask
each of them to contribute something?
If asked eight women and each one
gave dollar, that would count for
something, wouldn't it?"
That seemed to be the best sugges-
ton we received, and indeed the best
that any of us could think of. II
hundreds of home parties could be ar
ranged, each producing $500 instead
of $500, the plan would certainly
count for something; and so-we are
all for the Home Parties Plan. There
are so many different kinds of parties
that young women (every woman I'M
der rs is young) can arrange for that
1t would be superfluous to offer sug-
gestions here. The contribution need
not be s100 each. The amount of the
contribution may best be set by the
hostess, who can take into considera-
tion the financial status of her guests.
Any amount from 10c up will be gladly
received by the Chapter.
All contributions should be turned
over to one of the officers of the
Chapter: Andrew Pettet, president,
Miners Union building; Mrs Anna M.
Quinn, vice president, 106 w. Gold;
Mrs Margaret LaForrest, Secretary,
II w. Granite; Dr. William ]. Sullivan,
treasurer, 100 N. Main st. All monies
received from contributions together
with the net proceeds from the Presi-
dents Birthday dance, to be held at
the Temple Ballroom on January 25,
will be added to the Trust Fund al
ready set up by the local chapter.
Heretofore, 1t has been the practice of
the local group to concentrate all
efforts on the success of the annual
Birthday dance. Now, it is proposed
to continue these activities the year
around, so that the Trust Fund may
more rapidly be built to a sufficiency
that will enable the Chapter to pro-

LOOKING ABROAD

plicate the position OF the Soviets
who well remember that in 1918 the
Germans landed in the Caucasus, only
to be displaced from the oil fields a
year later by the British and French,
converging from the east across the
Caspian sea from Persia and from the
west through the Dardanelles and
across the Black Sea.
For these reasons, the Soviets have
exerted their influence to keep the
war out Of this region; to keep the
Dardanelles closed to warning navies.
Through increased trade, the U.S.S.R-
may be able to help Bulgaria and
Turkey protect their economic indie
pendence which has been seriously
threatened by the wartime disruption
of trade. In the case of Bulgaria, the
Soviets have also given it diplomatic
support, as in approving the return
of Dobrudja from Rumania, so long
as this could be achieved without
fighting.

PRODUCTION

stance, at peak production as the old
year closed and the cooperative move
ment took inventory" preparatory to
another big year in 1941.
Although new production enter
prises were the dramatic news of the
year, American co-operatives reported
important development in other fields.
The opening of new self-service food
stores and the modernization of exist
ing ones high-lighted the trend in
Coop grocery distribution. Co-opera-
tive insurance reported impressive
gains. Coop farm supply distribution
continued to gain Rural electric
Co-ops led the field in bringing light
and power to rural homes Several
new Coop housing projects reached
completion. Credit unions reported
almost 5000 units in operation and
2,250,000 members with $200,000000
capital. Student Co-ops on 100 cam
puses showed an increasing realiza-
tion Of their relationship to the gen
eral consumer Coop movement as
three declarations in the Midwest, Pa
cific Coast and Central West areas
took steps to strengthen their educa-
ton and economic programs. A dozen
medical Co-ops were in operation at
the years end Thirty-six Coop buri-
al associations with 81 900 members
in five midwestern states demon
strated that cooperation makes it pos
sible to live better and die better at
no extra cost.
Consumer co-operatives, including
farm supply Co-ops but not including
credit unions, are conservatively esti-
mated to be serving 100000 patron
members and doing an annual bust

BY HARRIET MOORE
Executive Secretary,

The Soviet interest in keeping the
war as far as possible from its bord-
ers is at present conferred in SOUTH
eastern Europe, where today only
Turkey and Bulgaria remain between
the war and the Black sea, the south
ern frontier of the q. S. S. R.
Soviet relations with these two
countries have been in marked con-
trast to those of czarist Russia.
Though both fought against Russia in
the first World War, Bulgaria had
long been one of the Slavic states
under a kind of patronage from Rus
STA, while the Turkish empire was
the traditional enemy Of the cars in
their southwark expansion around the
Black Sea-
After the revolution the positions
eminent, fearing that its people might
follow the example of their Slav cou-
sins in Russia, did not even establish
diplomatic relations with the U.S.S.R.

ler's Germany The New Turkey
however, in it's battle for national in
dependence and reconstruction follow
ing the collapse of the old Ottoman
empire in the last war, found in the
Soviets lasting friend.
In the present war; Bulgaria is
again heavily subjected to German
pressure, and Turkey is bound by
mutual assistance pact to England.
The Soviets were disturbed and dis
pleased when Turkey made this ar
rangement, despite the loophole which
Turkey had left to free it from any
obligation that might bring it into con-
flict with the U.S.S.R.. The Russians
felt that by entering the pact, Turkey
would be sucked into the fighting, thus
bringing war close to the Soviet south
Aside from the fact that Turkey &C.
tually borders on the oil-rich Caucasus, |
it also controls the Dardanelles, key |
to the Black Sea approach to the |
Ukraine and Caucasus. Were Turkey |
to enter the war, it could open the |
straits to the British navy.
The Black Sea is not only a frontier
for the US.S.R., but a most important
route for internal and foreign trade.
Oil, manganese, and the fruits and
wines of the Caucasus are exchanged
across it's waters for the coal and iron,
the grain and cement of the Ukraine.
Foreign trade also continues on the
Black Sea. To have it invaded by
belligerent fleets would greatly COM

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Hooty the Owl, sitting on the top
of his watch tower, which you know
is tall dead tree, had just sounded
his fierce hunting call, and was lis
tening for some faint rustic of a
leaf or twig which would ,tell him
where a suddenly awakened little
sleeper was hidden. Off in the dis
tance he heard the faint sound of
cracking brush. Without moving
his body IN the least, he turned his
head, and his great, fierce, yellow
eyes glared in that direction.
1t didn't take him two seconds
to know that somebody was coming
in his direction and coming in a
hurry. Whoever it was, he wasn't
trying to move quietly. In fact, it
seemed as if he were trying to make
all the noise he could.
Louder and louder grew the sound
of breaking twigs under careless
feet, and with it mingled other
strange sounds, little means and
groanS, and growls and snarls. Just
as Hooty recognized the voice of
Buster Bear, Buster came in sight.
He was running as only Buster can
run when he's in a hurry. He was
needless of where he stepped. Once
or twice he bumped into trees. Right
at the foot of Hooty's tree he sud-
denly threw himself on the ground
and rolled over and over. He
clasped his hands on his stomach
and kicked his hind legs, all the
time whining and groaning and now
and then growing
Just as Hooty was trying to make
up his mind if Buster had gone
crazy, Buster scrambled to his feet
and once more plunged ahead reck-
lessly. Hooty spread his great wings
and followed as silently as a NOV
ing shadow. Buster was heading
toward the Laughing Brook and he
didn't stop again until he got
there. Straight to a place where
there was no ice he rushed, and
plunged his nose into the cold run
ming water. Then he began to drink
as if he intended to drink all the
water in the Laughing Brook. He
didn't take his nose out of that
water until he had to get his breath.
"OH-oh- -oh-oh- -ooool" cried Bus
ter, and once more plunged his nose
into the water. When he finally
stopped because he couldn't hold an
other drop, Hooty spoke. For good
ness sake, Buster Bear, whatever
is the matter with you?" said he.
Buster looked up and Hooty
wasn't sure whether it was water
from the Laughing Brook or tears
running down Busters face. II
