the State of Delaware and to place
as many physically handicapped
persons into employment as is pos
sible. In an interview with Mr..
John G. King of the Vocational Re-
Mobilization Division, Mr.. King en-
phasized the fact that when physi-
cally handicapped persons are pre-
pared for a job which they can do
as anyone else, they cease to be
vOcationally handicapped and, when
placed in the proper job are just
as capable, just as efficient, and
just as high in actual production
as the nOn-handicapped group. Mr..
King pointed out that since the
creation of the Delaware Vocation

than $500 handicapped persons
have been prepared for, and plac-
ed into, employment, and that the

Co.Op Sales Up More Than Half Million Members Are Told

Peach, goodwill and an increase of $650,000 in gross sales keynot- ed last weeks annual member ship of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co Operating Associa- tion, Carl Rasmussen, board sec retary, said this week. The boost in sales pushed the Co-Op's total sales of 1949 to a million and a half dollars.
 MT. Rasmussen said every fa- cility handled by the Coop showed an increase in business. Even housing units and the Mat anuska Valley Lodge showed fig ures in black this year, it was re- ported. Biggest single factor re- sponsible fo rthe increase was a jump in sales of potatoes, milk and ice cream.
 Just by way of adding spice to the general air of brotherly love, however, the Coop membership accepted the recommendation of it's board of appeal the 1945 court decision won by Valley dairymen; felt rightfully belonged to the Co., Op to regain milk profits they left rightfully belonged to the Co., Ops dairy industry. Court deci- sion upheld the dairymen in that suit.
 A Seattle attorney, Jack Cluck, is now in the Valley to consult with E. A. Davis, Coop attorney, on the matter of the appeal. As soon as proper papers can be made out, the appeal will be filed, MT. Rasmussen said.
 Mr. Cluck will ''in general, re- view the existing situation" the Coop secretary said, and will consult with MT. Davis on all pending litigation. The attorney also will study the present mar keting contract of the Coop, to determine if the document should be revised.
 Meanwhile, the 1946 suit of the dairymen looms nearer on the court calendar. At first scheduled for early March, the suit has been postponed and probably will not
