We have The greatest Power for Peace and Good, And we hold Onto it, And worry it Like dog Worries a bone, Warning all Who come near But some day Our grandchildren In a ONE WORLD Will think Of us And laugh Gently as we Do at our children They Will shake their Heads and say As they Link hands Across the world: They meant well But they didn't think! They learned Too much, too fast, But forgot They taught us To share Our love, our toys And all our worldly goods While they Themselves forgot TO SHARE!

yABiN'S NEWS STORE iS SOLD
 10 {. C. CASLER

One of Juneaus longest estab- lished mems wear stores-Sabins changed ownership yesterday af- ternoon, after IS years of continu- GUS operation by MT. and Mrs. Charles Sabin.
 The new manager is Ce- cil C.. Casler, who has been em- ployed in another mems store in this city since his arrival here in November, 1945. MT. Casler plans to change the name of the estab- lishment to Casters, Mems Wear, but otherwise will continue the business in the same manner as it has been operated in the past. The purchase price is not disclos- ed. Transfer of ownership fol- lowed a complete inventory of stock, which was finished yester- day and for which the store was closed on Tuesday.
 Sabin's was first established by MT. Sabin on March 29, 1929. For the first five years, the store was located in the premises now occu- pied by the Triangle Inn. In 1894 the shop was moved across the treet to its present Triangle Build ing location. Prior to opening the store, MT. Sabin, for 13 years, was employed in the Juneau Post Office.
 MT. and Mrs. Sabin have no def mite plans for the future, except that they will maintain their home in Juneau. After a good long rest, MT. Sabin may look around for another business opportunity here.
 MT. Casler, the new owner, has wide experience in the mems clothing business. For seven years
 was with the mems furnishings
 apartment Of the Rhodes De- partnent Store in Seattle, four years as department manager and tuyer. In 1942, he went to Ko- -,iak to have charge of mems clothing supplies for Siems-Drake during construction of the Navy Base there.
 When the Kodiak job was com pleted, Casler returned to Seattle and became purchasing agent for the Pacific Car and Foundry Com pany, holding that position until the end of the war when he came 70 Juneau.
 Mrs. Casler and their small daughter followed MT. Casler to Juneau just about year ago They all found Juneau and its people very much to their lik- ng, which led to a decision to make their home here, with MT Casler going into business. He is a member of the Elks Lodge and the Rotary Club.

 Maintenance of service facilities as extensive and far-reaching as these, especially during winter months will be both difficult and very expensive" Col Fully said. Tt is hoped by both Governments that commercial use of these lines will in part pay a reasonable re- turn on the huge outlay of funds originally spent on this project dur ing the war, and at the same time permit their retention in service for the development of cur Northern areas in peacetime"
 Col. Fully said tentative ACS plans include the extension of long distance telephone service to such points as Cordova, Valdez, Sitka Wrangell and Petersburg as soon as available manpower, materials and funds permit. He said considerable preliminary work now is being done in the Juneau area with view of extending dependable all wire communication" to that area.
 Delegate Bartlett, in a statement described the opening of commer- cial telephone service between cen tral Alaska and the United States as another significant advance and said utilization of the overland line would mean much to the busi ness, social and cultural life" of the area.

What is Greenbelt Consumer Services Inc
the consumer cooperative that House Small
Business Subcommittee ruled was a monopoly?
Who runs it and what does it offer the nearly
5000 residents of the nearby Maryland COM
Elunity?
Looking at it from q dollars -and-cents basis,
GCS did gross business last year Of 81 ,428,-
586 from its 16 retail stores and services,
ranging from beauty shop to q grocery and
meat store. When the figures are all in for
this year. the total may be even higher
When the Government built Greenbelt in
1887 under direction of the old Resettlement
Administration, then headed by Rexford Guy
Tugwell, provision was made to operate retail
stores through Consumer Distribution Corp
until residents decided whether they wanted
to own their own. business comparatively.
Local Residents Take Over.
BY the end of 1889 about 500 residents had
set aside $4,000 as initial payment for pur-
chasing the local enterprises from the Govern
ment. On January g., 1910, residents took
over full operation Of stores under the present
organization.
Charts in the Office Of General Manager
Samuel F. Ashelman tell the story of CESS
growth over the past six and a half years.
Today the shareholders number 2,466, or 81
per cent of Greenbelt families. The capital
stock is estimated at $20aOOO, as against $780,
900 at the end of last year.
Community leaders say a stockholder has
only one vote. whether he owns the minimum
$40 share or the maximum 81 900 share per
person.
The coop is run by board Of directors
elected by the membership. The board, in
turn, appoints a general manager. Mr.. Ashel-
man has no written contract with the coop.
He explains he has the understanding that 'if
I'm not doing Job, I'll 60 out any time the
board or membership directs" He has held
his present post since 1914
Two types of dividends are paid the men,
bers, who. incidentally, decide what percentage
return shall be made One is dividends on
capital stock the other Is known as patronage
dividends.
A per cent return Is made annually on
capital stock. Albert Aren't, attorney for the
coop, points out that this is the same type
dividend paid by most corporations. The divi-
dends are computed after tax deductions are
made
Refunds and Rebates.
Patronage dividends are rebates made in
dividual purchasers who deal in the coop
stores. Housewives are urged to save their
safes Slips. 1hey are aooeu up at tne emu Oh
the year and purchasers receive cash re-
fund of 2.5 per cent OF their sales regardless
of the amount of purchases or the individuals
share Of capital stock. If a person is not q
member of the coop. he can get his refund
by purchase of $40 share of capital stock.
Patronage returns last year amounted to
$20,223, nearly double the amount paid in 1914.
According to Mr.. Aren't, it is in this field
Of patronage dividends that opponents of CO.
operatives have shown most opposition.
Amounts paid out in rebates are not subject
to taxation because, in the words of Mr. Aren't,

heights Of the upland pastures in the
Northeastern States.
Around one are sprawling patches of
prickly jumpers. Here and there are islands
of wiry bareback lifting purple spires.
Clumps of wild blue asters reflect the blue
of the sky. In pockets of deeper soil sturdy
goldenrods hold golden banners and along
the weather. furrowed, moss-etched stone
walls, scraggly armed sumacs extend wine
red punches of fuzz-covered nutlets.
Down IN the valley, tall elms stand like
green etchings. The river is a twisting
ribbon of silver and the slow waters move
languidly downward to the sea. At the
head of the valley white church spire
CLEANS in the sun-an exclamation point
against the blue of the sky. Cows move
slowly. in the afternoon sun, cropping the
sweet slender sun-cured grasses. Occa-
sionally song sparrow perches on post
that holds a strand of wire above the
walls and tosses few bars to an indiffer-
eRt world. From the evergreens behind
the sugar bush may come the high poig-
nant notes of the wood pewee. All is
peaceful and beautiful. No sign here of
the fevered frettings and tangled skeins
of man-made society. The countryman
wishes that all men everywhere would take
time in late summer to rest on an upland
pasture.
