BETWEEN US
 NEIGHBORS
By Arthur Johnson

It has been gratifying to know that some readers of this column have both interest and experience with the workings of Credit HARTFORD ALL THE WAY .... Unions and from some of these sources, have been receiving some very helpful suggestions. In this connection, MT. Alexander George and MT. Walter Johnson, are very enthused over the workings of and the extensive possibilities of form ing such a neighborhood project. They wish to inform my readers that a group is now meeting at the St. lBenedict's Center discus sing the 1eginning of the Union and all are invited, call the center or contact this column for further info.
 The management of a Credit Union comes from the body and is in the form of board of di- rector of at least five members which directs the operations of the Union; secondly, supervisory committee, which audits the books and reports to the members an- nually as to. .;the financial condi- tion of the Credit Union; thirdly, there is a credit committee, of three or more members that con- siders and passes or rejects appli- cations for loans, it is mindful always of loans that are consist ent with the good of the union; fourthly, there is an educational committee, which carries on the public relations of the organiza- tion.
 The management of the credit union is the safe guard for both the investment angle a for the borrowing of the members of the union, for both are essential to the life of the organization. We will discuss next week loans, and in the meantime, keep the column in mind and send in all suggestions.

WELL, WHADDYA KNOW?
By Armond s. Greene

Hello readers! I am greetlng YOU this week from the corner o1 Allyn and TrumbuH Streets. I'm .noaoed in a conversation with friend of mine about race rela- lions. He gave me his honest ooinion and at that same time cave me food for thought. He salo that the people who need educa- +;on in democracy are the young neople in the street, and not the retired man or woman who no lonoer has interest in race rela- tions and it's meaning or sincerity He also believes that little more could be accomplished if there was inst a little more patience, com mon sense, and understanding.
 I'm closing this subject of now' are you with me?
 Here's something l would ike to pass on to you. Did you kno" that we have a very promising vo,,no man in town? He is mem her of the Hartford Junior Cham her of Commerce. He was also assistant chairman of the clean LID campaign sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Among the stores that cooperated under his direction were: G. Fox and Co.,, Wise Smith, Sage Allen, s. g. Kresge, and several other retail stores. The award that was offered as a prize is in the form of a plaque. On Thursday morn ing, May 23, this plaque will be awarded to Edward N. Allen, pres ident of Sage Allen & Co.,, who was judged the winner of the con- test. Hats off to MT. Jackson for a good deed we'll done! Well Whad- dya Know the Jackson I mean is c. Clifford Jackson. By the way he operated the Watch Crystal Clinic, 8 State St., in Hartford. So if you haven't had that watch repaired that you've put off so long, Joy all means see MT. Jack son.
 I can well be pleased when peo- ple express themselves by saying they are happy and I can also ap- preciate the fact because l do be- lieve there is one person who knows happiness = Mrs. Airline Cordwell. When her husband ar rived home from overseas the oth- CT week, there was no doubt as to the way she felt. We arc also happy now that he is back with you, Airline, and we wish you both lots of luck.
 Just another reminder that the B'uddies' Club is holding thel1 dance Memorial Eve night, May 29, at the Stanley Golf Club, New Britain, Conn. All their friend: are cordially invited. Music vii be furnished by Clifford Gum anc his orchestra. It will be one o1 those serni-formal affairs and z good time will be had by all. Don't forget the date. Make your time the EBuddies' time!
