The Balance Sheet


When the editor steps out of office he is moved to write
MS farewell editorial under pressure months of pentup
irritation and resentment He been refused news that
ne felt the community should have he been requested
Dy Seappolned censors to Withhold news, he has been
promised cooperation by people who made good on
ther words he has received petty letters from anonymous
sources threatening phone calls classified ads never paid
In the dark hours after midnight encouragement has often
hung heavy the editors desk-bu somehow morning
always came, and the paper always delivered Never
was the style and content quite good enough to suit the
editors wishes but the job regularly and without
fail and with time there was perhaps even little improve
ment in the paper
Balanced against the dishearenng incidents are the
hosts of new friendships made via the papergood friends
and loyal staff members There was the word of praise
from neghbor, pat of encouragement from community
leader There the feel of accomplishment in deliver
ing 1000 copies of the Cooperator each week. to every
household in Greenbelt There the pride of respon-
sbity in trying to report the towns activities accurately
and completely and of attempting an honest Interpretation
of the for the editorial columns Shining brightly
the realization of useful participation in the community
fe the fun that comes from trying to the excite
ment accompanying every fight for improved facilities
better government, cooperation
And best of all the editor and the staff know that they
have been helping their small way preserve democracy
for all of This above all makes voluntary work
on the towns newspaper in any other of community
activities worth while and essential.
We repeat what has been said BEFORE that democracy
not utopian condition of life handed us as gift
but instead way of life obtained by fighting and working
and keeping alert. Democracy is passive thing but
an active force To win it and keep it of
willing to do than share in the fight against pre-
judice and discrimination, against greed individual
sefnterest against ignorance and compacency. We like
to the words of much bigger and more important
New York daily eve don't like people who push other
people around"
We have tried to dedicate the Cooperator these ideas
and the effort has been happy task for know that
the new editors will experience the creative joy

COOP STORES
Continued from page -

ceding years S2O9,785.14. On
these sales the food store netted
$14,485.09 or a percent, an un-
usually high net margin for a
store operating on a gross margin
Of only 1874 percent Salary per-
centage decreased from 7.9 in 1941
to SO in 1912, other expenses de-
creasing from 5.3 to Al percent.
Drug Store Receivers
The Drug Store, which operated
in the red in 1941, pulled itself
into the black by a margin of 1.5
percent, with an increase of
sales from $94,826.21 to $123,O62.-
43. To this might be added the
sales of the Tobacco Store which
was an off-shoot of the Drug Store
starting separate operations in
mid-October. In less than three
months $12,826.96 worth of goods
had been sold in this new store.
The Variety Store also pulled
itself out of a percent loss in
1941 to make a respectable net
margin Of SO percent in 1912 by
doubling it's sales, jumping from
$29,643.21 to $58,827O6. Accord
ing to Thomas B. Kicker, that net
margin should reach 7.5 in 1943, if
the Variety store is able to keep
properly stocked.
The Beauty Shop also has
doubled its sales, and without op-
portunity to increase it's facilities.
Consequently the beauty shops
"other expenses" showed per-
centage decrease from 45.8 in 1941
to 29.6 in 1912, and its net mar
gin rose from the negligible .09
percent to very worthwhile 17.9
percent.
The Barber Shop, while not
showing the spectacular record of
the Beauty Shop, increased it's
volume by 46 percent and, in line
with the other stores, by decreas-
ing its expenses showed a higher
net margin: 5.8 percent in 1912 as
compared with 81 percent the
year before.
The Theater's 1873 percent net
margin for 1941 was increased to
1873 in 1912, the difference in this
case being accounted for more by
an increase in the gross margin,
though expenses were decreased
slightly. Since theater prices have
remained the same throughout
this must mean that adult pa
tronage was proportionally great
er than child patronage in 1912 as
compared with 1941.
The Valet Shop continues to
run at a loss, though the 8 per-
cent of loss of last year is less
than the LIS loss of the year be-
fore. Volume in the Valet Shop
increased by practically so per-
cent, from S1S,579.O9 to $27,748.-
48.
Though the Service Station
showed 10 percent decrease
from $50,606.48 volume in 1941
to $45, ,450.28 in 1912, by decrease
in expense percentage, the net
margin was actually over $1,000
more in 1912.

Gov. Sidney P. Osborn was noti-

meat shortage.
at is reasonable to expect that
a definite solution of some of these
problems will be forthcoming in
the very near future" Brown told
the governor. "In the meantime
we have asked the Tovrea Packing
Co. to continue to operate it's plant
to the extent necessary to supply
the meat requirements of the ad,

One battle doesn't win wars
and that is why the Treasury

put our financial worries be-
hind us after the Second War
Loan campaign.
We do not know how many
Bond Battles it will require to
take Nazism out Of the world,
or how many campaigns it
will require to remove the war
lords from Japan, so our
Government is not telling us
now that the Second War
Loan drive will be the last
this year.
In fact, Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau in open
ing the drive pointed out that
later drives are in store and
that the home front will be
asked for more and more aid
in the form of savings and
taxes, as well as increased
payroll savings.

Union Security Banned

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-FP)-
Spearheading the drive for a con-

of GO 10 50 a constitutional amend

The amendment has been sent

the amendment will be submitted

with amendment of the federal
constitution the evenual aim have
already been announced by the
Christian Americans. This is
followup on their campaign to
force anti-labor bills through south
ern and midwestern state legis-
latures.
The fact that Florida has been
the first state to act on such a
proposal. is due primarily to the eff
forts of State Atty. Gen. J. Tom
Watson who, with the support Of
the Associated Industries of Flori-

My waist gunner, Bill Stroud,
took care of the first one. 1t was so
close that he could see the back of
the pilots head. Stroud poured a
stream of bullets into him. The FW
went into a spin, and Stroud fol-

A moment later another Jerry
came under his sights. He poured
steel into him, saw him break up.
Right waist gunner Berring was
pumping 50-caliber slugs at
range. He, too, got a probable,
a red-nosed FW which spun down

Meanwhile the wounded tail gum

roared in to finish him off. Kruch-

one long burst. 1t literally sawed
the Germans wing off. He went

With the wind shrieking through
