Mons than four times the num- sber iii men killed or who died ysarlN during the war years of World War II have died yearly ance the war ended, it is revealed ly ifig,ires released by Ernest Lln- sosA. 1eVeterans Administration di- sector tin Juneau.
 Totat deaths are figured at F b9,o0G with war dates running I;lsst .uaeptember 16, 1940 to July
 l3s7. While figuring on this
 iseas ssShough this nation was not
 harea at war at that time. deaths -sisan h430 yearly. During actual
 lar years more than 100000 a year aisd.-
 Compared with this, since then and up to September 30, this year, 97i000 veterans have died, either from service-connected wounds or other ailments. which is some 437 ,000 year.
 Not even advancing age has cut down veterans of World War I so rapidly, the figures show Since the armistice 34,300 veterans of that war have died each year, compared to 87,5o0 killed on a yearly basis during the IS months the war lasted.
 The war which many have con- sidered the bloodiest of any in American history-the Civil War is down to third rank, as only 364, 900 were killed during hostili- ties, at the rate of 72,80O a year This includes apparently only Union forces.
 Figures show that only 4,000 men were killed during the Revolution. and 2,000 during the war of 1872, although records are probably not complete, and many deaths occur red during the latter fight which involved privateers not actually in the armed forces.

Does Your Unit Have A Coop Committee?

the ins versus the outs, nor vice versa. 1t is
a clearly written story of inertia and laZiness
that depicts exactly what is wrong with our
union today. Whether you realize it not,
the chief trouble is that people are too pleased
with themselves; glorying in the spotlight of
past achievements; doing very little at the
present, with no apparent thought of the
future.
A few people are carrying large burden.
The Coop is not the business of the Interna-
tional Executive Board. 1t is the business of
EVERYONE, and this includes shop commit
teemen and stewards and all other union Of
ficers of any kind. 1t is not confined to the
UAW -CIO, either.
The program is simple. The Coop has
demonstrated its value, its need and its i'm
portance in our everyday lives. 1t will not
grow of itself. The chain stores will not build
the peoples own stores for them. Leadership
must be given, and responsibility accepted
Each unit and local must have function
ing Coop Committee, properly publicized and
known to every worker who is part of that
organization
Literature must be distributed :. without
the committee sitting on its posterior awaiting
delivery of it to them.
Applications must be made available
to the membership by people who have been
interested enough to obtain answers to the
questions they will be asked.
Stamp-bo books and savings stamps must be
available, and the committee should be able
to explain how these Csc stamps will be
changed for a share of stock
The committee should work hand-in- glove
with the credit union in the plant, financing
the $25 memberships through the credit union,
and bringing them to the Coop Credit Union
if this is the desired method
This is not criticism of anyone, any group
of individuals, nor any side 1t is written
in the hope that those executive shop COM
mittees union officers, and stewards, who are
not doing what they can do for this great
project will pitch in for few weeks and help
us put across the Coop program They owe
that much to their membership.
And to those who have helped so gracious
ly and so generously, on behalf of the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Toledo Consumers Co.

managing editor isn't a tyrant,
and the other boys in the office
are something above the usual
moronic movie reporter"
One of the first errors Ladd
caught in his role as technical
director was proposed scene
showing him typing a headline
on his own news story. Report
ers simply don't write their own
heads. This is done at the city
desk, where the editors decide
what size type and how many
columns width the story rates.
Yet the mistake has been re-
peated time and again on the
screen, most recent being Jim
my Stewart writing his own
headline in Call Northside
TT"
However, Alan admits he
turned softie on one point. He
permitted himself to be filmed
in one scene with his hat on the
back Of his head and his feet
up on his desk.

proach of the past. True, "The
Red Shoes" contains the essen
tials of previous great pictures
. story, direction, spectacle,
color, romance, drama, suspense,
movement, action and distin-
guiShed cast. But these ingredi-
ents are, in ''The Red Shoes"
presented in an entirely differ
ent ration and relationship that
has prevailed until now. Ele-
ments hitherto regarded as of
minor importance are, in this
picture, recognized as being of
m j or significance. One eem-
pie of this is the ballet of THE
Red Shoes" This ballet, the
first ever to be presented in its
entirety as part of film story,
enacted by a corps of SO inter
acknowledgements dancers, is
shown in full not only because
it furnishes the pivotal theme of
the film but because the produ-
GERS know that the spectacle's
beauty, movement, music and
color will delight, thrill and en-
tertain patrons of any age and
either sex.
The singing and dancing Tech
nicolor romance was inspired
by Hans Christian Andersen's
classic of the same name. The
cast is headed by
Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring,
Moria Shearer, Robert Help
mann, Leonide Massine, Albert
Basserman, Ludmilla Tcherina
and ESmond knight.

operative Executive Board Secretary, Spicer
Unit Coop Committee, UAW CLIO.
COMMITTEES are appointed as easily as con-
~ vention resolutions are passed And you
know what happens to lot of these resolu-
tions don't you. They sound swell, but they
fall by the waysde as easily as autumn leaves
from the trees. When conventions are over,
the resolutions are laid away in state in quite
undisturbed repose.
Sometimes, that is. Strangely enough, the
LIAW-CIO has been one of the very few or
q citations which acts on the resolutions that
NI.e passed. Good for the UAWCIO-Hurrah!
Now have no axe to grind with anyone,
and our organiZational director of the Coop,
Edward Duck, has sidestepped every kind of
a personal and/or political argument he ran
into, so as not to let private feuds or personal
differences Interfere with the all-important
job of organizing consumer-oWned shopping
centers And that's the way it's going to be
and remain. The Coop is everybody's busi-
ness, and it transcends the pettiness of private
quarrels On this one thing we should all be
able to pull together.
Some union committees are doing fine
job on the Coop drive. Some are doing abso-
lutely nothing. In some pretty large shops the
push is being made by the rank -and-file Our
recent Coop Fair drew more than 5000
people, mostly union members, l would say.
Time and again we heard the complaint, mo
gsneS doing anything about the Coop at our
shop Who do have to to join?
Does the shop committee have applications or
stamp books? :. Are they interested in us,
or just in getting our votes at election timer"
These remarks, multiplied dozens of times,
tell part of the story. The Coop idea has
caught on with the rank-and-file, while the
leadership stands by and either admits it is
a good thing but they "too busy to do
anything about it, or else offers excuses for
hau hpo chaJ
tions, and information
1t is high time that some people woke up
The facts will speak for themselves Records
of attendance at Coop meetings have been
carefully kept; so have the patronage cards at
both fairs; the list of do-nothings-office seek
ers who pretepd to care about their fellow
workers-is startling BY their deeds you shall
know them!

sition is not one-sided. 1t is not a case of
