The Coop Coffee Hour is
very ingenious method of spread
ing the word about the new store
and understanding of the Coop
movement in general
A hostess who has agreed to
hold a coffee-hour after picking
the hour at her convenience
whether it is morning, afternoon
or night, goes down her list of
friends and extends the invita-
tons.
This plus a clean house and
gracious manner ends the hos
tess's responsibilities. Mrs. Hal
tiwanger then takes over and sup
plies speaker, the coffee (best

In return for opening her home
to her friends the hostess is Civ

one attending to donate to her
favorite organization or charity.
A more painless way of raising
money has never been devised,
we say.
AS for the clean house, we sug-
gest that this is an excellent car
rot" for those who will power
needs bolstering to get the spring
house cleaning done. This par
ticular hostess for instance used
the Coffee Hour as the incentive
for painting the bath room, task
which has hung heavy, heavy for
the last two years.
In the six weeks since the cam
paign opened, Dot Haltiwanger
has set up 90 of these coffee
hours with five more scheduled
and calls coming in steadily for
additional hours.
The deadline is the Monday,
May 6 opening of the store which
will be preceded by gala open
house on that Sunday with all of
the stores in the Rockville Shop
ping Center participating. Watch
for further announcements on
this in the SENTINEL. as it prom.
ises to be something special in
the way of opening events.
Coop coffee hours have been
held all over Rockville and some
in the up-county area. Organiza-
tons profiting from the attend
ence which ranges from eight to
33, include Homemakers Clubs in
Twinbrook, Croydon Park, Gath
crsburg and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
the Mental Health Clinic, Rock
ville's Junior and Senior Won
ems Clubs, Columbia Light House
for the Blind, Opti-Mrs. Club,
Twinbrook Baptist Chapel. the
Women's Missionary Society of
the Brookeville Methodist Church,
the Shady Grove Church of God
and st. Peters Church in Olney.
| AS you can see, Mrs. Haltiwan-
ger and her speakers, who include
Mrs. Henry Redkey, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Bonham, Mrs. Evelyn
Cooper and Mrs. Virginia Reid,
have been kept busy answering
questions.
The first thing everyone wants
to know is what the new store
will be offering in the way of
services. Thanks to land tie-ups,
the gas station and pharmacy are
still in the planning stage.
But the general store has
enough innovations in itself to
set eyes popping all over the
place. Rockville, and they could
MT have picked more prolific
spot, will test out the Riddle Kor-
ner with a TV set and loads of
comics to lure our young darlings
out of the paths of the shopping
carts.
The little darlings can also
stuff their faces at the Snack Bar
so that Momma can combine
lunch and shopping and then be
free to go home for a well de-
served nap. If Rockville lives up

store, the hambergers and hot
dogs will be the bestest for the
leaSteSt you can find
The Food-O-Mat of the Whea-
ton store will also be found in
the Rockville one. This, as YOU
probably know, is the method of
feeding canned goods to the
shelves from the back by an auto
matte feeder thus eliminating the
traffic hazards of clerks and
large cartons blocking the aisles.
In addition to these innovations,
there will be the usual excellent
choices in canned foods, meats,
frozen goods, dairy and produce,
and some general merchandise al
though this last will not be in
the amount offered at the Whea-
ton store because of lack of space.
The second most popular ques-
ton at the coffee hours is on the
method of sharing the profits with
the customers.
To make it simple, the only way
possible for me, it works like
this: you have to own one $40
share of stock before you can
share in the profits but If you
wish you can save your store re-
ceipts until the year ends next
February and buy your share
from the return which has in 9TH
er years amounted to as much
as two percent but which this
year fell to Ia percent because
of the big building program.
The stock shares have been
paying five per cent dividends for
the last II years which is an ex-
cellent record and a darn good
return on your money. Your first
share Is your voting share and
gives you the privilege of helping
to direct the management and
policies through your elected Of
ficerS.
So you see the name Coop
really has meaning to it,
These are the main questions
usually asked but the speakers
come prepared for anything and
of course get it. There was one
morning coffee hour where the
concensus of opinion of the in
dignant housewives was that the
Rockville store should get the IL
cense for beer and wine since
there is not one of the major
chains in the city that carry these
very vital items.
In addition to the coffee hours
Dot Haltiwanger has also been
responsible for three cooperative
dinner parties. The first on
March IS had representatives
from Rockville businesses as
guests; the second, April II, rep
resentativeS from Rockville or
CARNATIONS; and the third, last
night, introduced the Coop to the
Lincoln Park area
Henry Redkey, Wheaton areas
congressman to the Coop, acted
as toast master, Robert Bonham,
Coop treasurer, presented the fl
1ancial picture and Samuel Ashel-
man, General Manager, answered
questions on the store itself.
Dot describes her job as pre-
opening campaign chairman as
"efrand boy" but you can judge
from the success whether it hasn't
been a great deal more than that.
Our interview was, by the way,
an anniversary since Dorothy Hal
tiwanger was the subject of our
first Hits for Mrs. column two
years ago when she was appoint

This is how my unsuccessful,

learned the location of some of
the finest fishing spots in this
area; he hunted, believe it or not,
for milk bottles. He knew that his
successful rival always took a
couple of quarts of milk with him
on his fishing forays and always
threw away the bottles. SO, all
my detective friend had to do was
to scour along the banks of Ben

new shapes we're seeing, from
Monte-Sano's arch coats to
evening clothes with curved
spherical skirts, would pro-
duce the comment What

Actually Around the World

one of the influences being
felt. A much older movie,
Anna Karenina," may bring
to mind the REFER coats with
lavish fur collars that Rus
sian aristocrats wore.
The fur market has reason
to be overjoyed this year.
Fur collars, fur muffS, and
even fur pocketbooks are on
fashions agenda.
Vincent Monte-Sano told
1876 fashion editors from all

New York that everyone
always asks them "why don't
you do this and that, includ-

So Monte-Sano and Pruzan
