Fine Increase In
Volume Made By
Oil Association
Sales Past Year $751;
O8l.52; Net Profit is
$5,Ol5 or 800 Per Cent.

Only one change was made in the
personnel of the board of directors
of the Pine Coop Oil Association at
its fourteenth annual meeting last
Saturday in the Askov D. B. S. hall.
Peter Stulen of Sandstone was chos-
en- as director in place of John Mag
nuson, who had served in similar
position the past year.
The other members of the board
who were reelected are Fred Schoen-
rock of Finlayson, president of the
association; Christopher Nielsen of
Askov, now vice president; Alvin j.
Jensen, Askov, secretary; and Joe
Skalicky, Hinckley, director. Otto
A. Jensen of Askov, is the manager.
Three of the members will serve for
two-year term and the other two
for one year.
Net Profit S5,OI5.
Total sales during the past fiscal
year amounted to $137 ,081.52 an in
crease of nearly $4,000 over the
previous 12-month period. The net
profit amounted to S5,O15 or $3.50 per
cent, as compared to $3,369.15 and
2.78 per cent shown on the 1941
statement.
AS in the past the association oper-
ated on cost plus plan, the patrons
purchasing the goods at a saving
during the course of the year. The
gasoline handled was distributed at
two cents per gallon below the reg
ular market price, the savings on
this item alone being over $1,000.
Share Interest 4 Per Cent.
The meeting Saturday opened
shortly before noon with Fred
Schoenrock presiding. The minutes
of the last annual meeting, a re-
sumo of highlights of board meet
ings the past year, the financial state
ment, and the auditors report were
all read, discussed and approved.
A recommendation by the auditors,
and the board of directors of the
association, that the interest rate on
shares be set at four per cent instead
of six as is the past, was, after some
discussion, put to a vote of the mem
bership. The motion was carried
about three to one. Adjournment was
made for the noon hour, dinner
being served by the Askov Coop
Guild.
Midland Representatives Talk.
Carl Eek, Midland Cooperative
representative, addressed the gath
ering in the afternoon session. He
reviewed the financial statement and
congratulated the membership and
the board of directors on the show
ing made. During his talk he stated
that the days of high margins were
past, the cooperatives now selling al
small margin to bring the purchase
price of goods down, effecting an i'm
mediate saving to the consumers.
Speaking of coming postwar times
Mr.. Eek stated that the cooperatives
would play large part in feeding
the European peoples after the pres
ent conflict is over. He stated thai
profteers became rich on foodstuffs
sent to Europe following World Wal
l and that this should not be the
case this time.
Grant Grebel, Midland fieldman
gave short talk on gasoline and tire
rationing, discussing the latest de.
velopments and problems in these
matters. He also answered question:

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-U.P0-
The death of soldiers prlae re-
suited today in the smashing of an
abortion mill alleged to involve 81
physicians.
Twenty physicians were arrested

withdrawal of jobless benefits aid
to enliSteeS in u. S. civilian pilot

nator for the projects, declared an
approximate 1000 men in California

the commission rescinded its action
as of Oct. 10.
FnliSteeS contended they were

Army Fur|ouahs
Soldiers TO Mines

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-UPo
Undersecretary of War Robert P
Patterson today confirmed that
1000 experienced miners of copper
and other vitally-needed mtals are
receiving Army furlougns to relieve
labor shortage in that category.
This was the first concrete action
taken by the Army to release men
who were more sorely needed il
civilian war work.
President Roosevelt and Chief of
Staff George c. Marshall, said in
recent discussions that older men
who dc not make effective soldiers
probably would be released from
Army service in the future as more
young men are drafted. Such re-
leases would be for the dual pur-
pose of taking unfit men out of the
Army and providing more skilled
manpower for war industries.

SANTIAGO. Chile. Oct. 2l-(UPl
President Juan Antonio Rios acts
shortly on the designations of the
cabinet, which quit yesterday as a
result of the charges of American
I Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles that Axis agents are oper-
ating from Chile against the Un-
tied Nations
The cabinet resigned to permit
Rios to replace Foreign Minister
Ernesto Barros Jarpa. who advocat-
ed maintenance of diplomatic re-
lations with the Axis. Political lead
ers said the resignation was step
toward an open break with Ger
many. Italy and Japan.
The political crisis was touched
off by Weles in Boston, Oct. 8. He
charged that Argentina and Chile
the only Latin American coun-
tries maintaining relations with
the AXis-had permitted Axis agents
to transmit information that re-
suited in the sinking of United
Nations ships.
MINISTER CRITICIZED
Three days later, Rios cancelled
projected good will visit to the
United States, explaining to Ameri-
can Ambassador Claude q. Bowers
that Chile. nevertheless, would
continue cooperating in continent
al defense"
Although Chilean newspapers
supported Rios decision. many at
tackled Barros Jarpa's foreign policy
and some radical party leaders de-
manded his resignation. Rumors

Judge Healey Renamed

Over the past weekend Democratic delegates to the convention to nominate a judge of probate for the Waterbury district gathered and expressed their complete confidence in the present in cumbent, Judge Patrick Healey. That was to be expected Anyone who has served as honestly and faithfully as has Judge Healey deserves recognition of this sort. In a democratic form of government, such as we enjoy here in the United States, it is given to voters to pick and choose their public officials as they see fit. When the public trust is we'll guarded we show confidence by continuing the guardian in office.
 Not only the Democratic Party can be proud of the present judge of probate, but the entire district, which includes Wolcott and Middlebury, as well as Wa terbury should feel qualification at the manner in which the responsibilities of the office has been upheld by Judge Healey. It goes without saying that as he enjoys the respect, confidence, and endorsement of all who come before his court, he likewise holds the confidence of the city at large. His return to office this fall should not be something of a political nature, but public necessity.

Corner on Candidates

It would appear as if Bridgeport and Fairfield county had corner on the gov ernorship this year. No matter which can- didate or what party carries the day in November this section of the state will be able to do a bit of eXulting Gov. Robert A. Hurley makes his home now in West Hartford, but Bridgeport claimed him for many years and he may still maintain legal residence there. Nearby Stratford is the home of the COP candi- date, Raymond E. Baldwin, who prac- tices law in Bridgeport. Mayor Jasper McLevy, the Socialist candidate, com pleteS the picture.
 That, more or less gives the south western corner of the state something to talk about for long time to come It's almost as good as the reputation that Meriden enjoys. Meriden is the home of our two U. S. Senators, Francis T. Maloney and John A. Danaher. It will be a long time before this record is sur passed and perhaps quite long time, too. before the state can witness the spec tacle of the gubernatorial candidates of the three major parties all hailing from the same city.

ing withdrawn from the world, or rather of having created a private sphere for the, exercise of Christian virtue. He even goes so far as to say that the church frequently has taken such an adverse attitude to- ward the humanitarianism which Jesus came to establish that cer- tain terrifying systems have now come in, claiming to be able to do what the church is supposed to do for humanity, equality, and liberty.
 We may not agree with this point of view at all, but certainly every thoughtful person should turn is over in his mind. Has the church failed? There are few of us who would not resent such charge. Yet we must all be conscious of the fact that the rulers of the world have so consistently denied Chris tianity in the management of world affairs, and the common people have been SO obllvious to everything but the making of Q living, that righteousness has frequently gone by default and the devils have come in 10 occupy places that should have been occupied by Christian states men and administrators.

Don't Be a Drip

Philadelphia has demonstrated what can be done when press, radio and official groups cooperate heartily in a hum- drum-but-important cause. By such an effort, the Quaker City saved 65 million gallons of water daily, at a time when war industries were threatened by shortage.
 Newspaper stories and editorials, radio talks and round tables, street car signs, window cards, leaflets distributed by air raid wardens, cards to hotel guests, all carried the message: Don't be drip" The public responded nobly and repaired leaky fixtures. The result was enough saving to supply war plants with 35 mil lion gallons day and still reduce the city's total use by 30 millions.
 People are complacent only when mo- body in authority will trouble to tell them what to do and how to do it.
