 At present you may pledge to buy shares in a cooperative store, also you may give suggestions as to where you may think would be the best locality for store here in GrOtOn.
 If you want to try cooperative buying and talk with cooperative buyers go to one of the cooperative stores in our locality. You will find beautiful cooperative store in the town of Stonington and another one at Quaker Hill. both doing a landslide business. Both have made large profits for the share holders and saved the consumer several dollars in the past year.

Nonsense and Facts

dends paid to the stockholders.
 We here at Groton would like to give the town one of the largest CO., operative stores in our state, buy ing direct from the producer and selling direct to the consumer.
 To start such business here we must have large number of share holders and to get these share holders the men that are interested must get other people interested in this movement.
 Several thousand dollars are go- ing to be needed and all this must come from the shareholders and shareholders alone.
 What is a shareholder, and in what way does he benefit from the cooperative have been asked by several people?
 The answer to that, Is that a shareholder is a person that buys any number of shares from one to forty, which is the most any one person can buy and his profit comes to him at the end of each year in interest on his money that he has paid for the shares and also share of the profit of the entire store each year. He not only gets the interest on his money but he gets back a portion of what he spends during the year.
 For any information that you would like to have about this CO., operative, you can give your ad- dress to any union steward and will assure you that some one will call at your home in the very near

While walking and talking around the E. B. yard. I find quite few men that are very much interested in cooperative store here in Groton.
 A cooperative store I will agree with these men, is the one thing we need at the present time more than ever before, but quite lot of interested men are not enough to bring such a store to our town. We need all men and women working at this plant plus most of the people in Groton to be interested in such an enterprise in a cooperative store. Such store can't be run by @ few people because the buying power of few people is not suf- ficient. The more people interested In the cooperative plan the bigger the buying power. The bigger the buying power the larger the divi-

PubHc's Credit Good, But Consumer Pays With Cash

But partially completed figures since the first of the year indicate a gradual increase in both install ment and charge account buying. Inquiries by merchants for individ- ual credit ratings from the Credit Bureau of Greater New York are equal to or above 194O levels for the first months of the year. This is generally true of all of the 400 odd members of the Associated Credit Bureaus of America.
 Credit men in general are well coming return to that form of buying. In fact, they are looking for new ways to corral credit and in- stallment business, both now and in the future. One of the nations larg- est installment finance companies, which got it's start in the automo- bile business, already is making a bid for the future personal airplane business. They will finance airplane purchases and even are willing to throw in insurance and special serv- ice along with the time-payment contract. Up to now the only way you could buy private plane has been on a cash-in- advance basis.
 Credit men aren't afraid that another depression will leave their account books piled high with bad debts. The last one wasn't too bad, they claim, and they have an undy- ing faith in the average American to pay his bills promptly and in full.
 DEPRESSION DEBTS PAID
 During the worst years of the de- pression, bad debts in retail credit sales never were more than Is per cent of the total volume of such sales, and most of these bad &C., counts eventually paid of, some of them as late as the war years when merchants unexpectedly found them selves receiving money for some of the very few accounts they once labeled as -collectable.
 On the average, less than 4 of one per cent of the credit sales turn out to be bad, and today the aver age is even below that, as low as

Housewives crowded the nations bare -shelved butcher shops today to find that steaks, chops and fresh meat in general had all but disap- peared.
 Butchers in many cities already had sold all their meat and shut up shop until more is available. The National Association of Retail Meat Dealers said that as many as half the country's retail dealers may be forced to close part time next week.
 If the shortage continues, spokesman for the association said, many butchers will go out of busl- ness.
 Army Turns to Fish, Too
 Consumers already were turning to fish and poultry as substitutes for meat. The Army, the nations biggest consumer, said it would be forced to do the same unless it gets more meat.
 The shipment of livestock to the 12 major stockyards yesterday was the lowest in history for Tuesday. Only 18,2O0 head of cattle were shipped in, less than half the amount delivered Monday. Packing houses continued to lay of workers as the supply dwindled. Officials of the C.I.O. United Pack inghouse Workers estimated that 10000 employees already were idle in Chicago, the nations biggest meat packing center.
 Representative of the A.F-L. Meat Cutters Union reported that about 12,0OO of it's members had been laid off at plants throughout the country. They believed that twice as many would be idle by next week.
 B Percent Drop Noted The Department of Agriculture reported that Federally inspected meat production for the week end ing Sept. ' totaled only 100000 pounds. This was drop of 73 per- cent from production of the previ- ous week, during which there were no price ceilings on livestock.
 Retail price ceilings went into ef- feet yesterday as the supply in butcher shops reached the lowest point since the current shortage be- gan.

No responses to the plea for housing for a paralyzed Waterbury soldier, Pfc. Edward T. Gwizd, have been received either at the Veterans Advisory Council or at the mayors office. The father of two children will be discharged from an Army hospital next week and is attempt ing to find home to rent.
 The housing appeal was made to Mayor John s. Monagan by Capt. V. H. Youngblood, an Army doctor at Halloran General Hospital on Staten Island. His letter was made public Monday by the mayor and referred to the Advisory Council for further action.
 The report from the mayors of- flee at noon yesterday stated that no one had called that office with the offer of home or apartment to rent. At the Advisory Council, an official said that it appeared people "just aren't interested"
 Gwizd entered the service in July 1914, and was seriously wounded in France in February 1945, one month after he arrived overseas. He was serving with the Third Army at the time. He was formerly employed by the Metal Hose Division, Amer ican Brass Company.
 In his letter to the mayor, Cap tain Youngblood said that Gwizd sustained a spinal cord wound which left him completely and per- manently paralyzed from the level of the waist down." Although he will remain forever paralyzed, the captain said that he no longer needs disqualification. After his discharge, Gwizd will live temporarily at q Scott Road, Prospect.

MT. and Mrs America are just be- ginning to feel their way back into the credit structure of the nation. And the nations business men are waiting with open arms to receive them.
 The individual credit of millions of Americans - of big incomes and small - is excellent, credit experts agree. The chances are that the buying public will make more and more use of it in the coming months.
 Right, now, however, several inn portant considerations are holding them back. First and most import ant is the scarcity of goods norm ally bought on. credit, either as charge purchases or by installment buying. Another retarding factor probably is the governments Regu- lation w which set down-payment requirements fairly high-20 per cent to one-third of the purchase price-and limits the pay-off period to Is months.
 CREDIT BUSINESS UP
 1VcUdl1 SclllllS OISdlllAdOlO1lS al ready are noting an increase in charge and installment sales over the lean years. Figures indicate that such buying is just beginning to ap- proach pre-war volume, but in view of the tremendous increase in total sales volume, credit selling has a long way to go before 1t really gets it's share of the postwar business.
 In 1940, good pre-war year, total retail sales reached $46.4 billion, of which $29.9 billion was in cash, $10.1 billion in charge sales and s5.8 bil- lion in installment buying. By 1915 the last full year for which figures are available, the total sales had jumped to $746 billion, reflecting increases in population, earning power and pent-up demand. Of this amount, the overwhe elming majority was bought with cash-$58.3 billion Charge sales were above pre-war $40 billion, while installment sales were down to $23 billion.

Many Butchers Shut Up Shops for Lack of Meat

New York-Many retailers said they would be able to serve only a small fraction of their regular cus- toners. Others said they may be forced to close later this week. More than 90 percent of the city's whole sale houses were without meat and branch houses of the major packing companies were empty.
 Chicago-Buyers for large na- tional food store chain said the prospects for getting meat were slim. The best that can be expect ed, they said, is some plain grass fed beef shipped in from western ranges next month. Many butchers planned to close two or three days next week.
 Detroit-Most markets were al- most completely out of fresh meat. Sunplies of chicken and fish were limited. Many shops already were closed, others said they would close soon unless supplies increase. The OPA increased its staff of investi- gators by 35 percent to combat an anticipated renewal of the black market.
