CO-OP--1949 (By Cooperative ~ ews Service)
Chicago - There have been better year:; for U.S. co-ops than Old Man 1949. But taken all in all, the old boy wasn't a bad on~! w;th which to bow out tl-·e half-century.· There was plenty of lif'e in him.
. ;.. Co-op businesses, like most oth-·1 ers, were hit h;;,rd in 1949 by the

' shift from a sellt:r's to a buyer's •"; ,.., · ... market. But mostly their patrons
'. "'"-..,,.,.~tinned to do plenty of business • ·; wit'!~. them. In some lines, notably
in th' ·, farm supply field, they did more \\1an ever before. Lots of people wifu had never thought about coopera-..,:_ves began to see how they might tr.d, be a "middle way" in an economy beset by ever-increasing. monopoly control, and by everencroaching government. · . :. Enemies Routed · 't'o-ops in some lines moved iurther back into the areas nf big margins of savings-the production field. And the enemies of co-opswho happ~n to be also the enemies Of just about everything the people really \lfant in America-were pretty well smoked out in '49.
Let's take a quick look back at some· of the highlights of. the co-op year that ends next week:
An, economic conference; stag-ed bv the C0operati\'e League in the nation's capital brought together spokesmen for 10 leading farm, labor, co-op, and government groups. It probed into the roots of failure by our economy to meet ~he peoples'
.l-15jc needs in <:ix major fields. ···•· ""ongressional inquiry and reports
filed with Congr<>~s exposed the -:-.Jationat'·Tax Equality Association as a 1·acketeering ft·nd-raising front foe big business, fnanced hu·gely by major utility, oil, _grain, and other interests. NTEA flooded the na~ tion with anti-co-op "bogus bucks" and ran into a Secret Service crackdown. An NTEA leaflet aimed at fatmers' investment in co-ops boomeranged. A U. S. Senator charged. the leaflet had been based <>n a mis_use of his personal mail and that in connection with the campaign an NTEA officiala had 6ffered him a.
•'., "'10.000 campaign bribe. ~ ... Efforts by reactionary interests to
smear cooperatives in connection with the appointment of John Carson, Cooperative League employee, tO' the Federal Trade Commission, fizzled. Carson 'vas confirmed by a comfortable majority.
A boon for farmers tired of fussing with the spluttering hand crank .wall telephone came with 'pas<:age of. the rural telephorie act. Cn-ops and other> may now apply for REA loans to extend and improve rural phone sen.·ice.
:R\U'al elec!:ric co-Ops connected . th~ir ·.J.OOO,OOOth consumer.

Unions anli co-ops started to get behind the CouncH for Cooperative DeVelopment. Union-backed. co-op stores in Michigan and elsewhere. broke out of· the formative period. New urban co-op development was slow, but gaining ground.
Major mutual insurance companies with the co-op viewp"1int topped their re5pective classes iu percentage of volume gained.
The American Medical Asso-::iation set up a "ule of thumb for county and state medical societies to follow in - recognizing. local voluntary co-op health ~~oups. 'iocieties v.;ere slow to follow, eY{:n fought back. But vcluntar:: group medicine gained in members and Yolume.
Credit unions gained in m~mbers and membership: reached toward· the 5.000,000 member mark.

U. S. co-ops considered setting up an investment trust; got their first cepartment store into the black; set up a 'new co-op radio station and forged radio links with many lab:::r stations; some of them assured themselves a basic source of pho!.phate for fetrilizer for years to come.

Vol. 14 Thursd~y. December 29, 1949 No. 19
A Tree Grows In Greenbelt The suggestion in the letter from Mrs. Slye is a natural. We
were in sympathy with the idea of a pel'lllanent Christmas tree when the late Angus MacGregor .fitst brought it up a year ago, and we were s<;>rry to see no a.ction taken when the Woman's Club presented ,the idea officially.
We hope that MacGregor's Tree will become a permanent fix .. ture in 1950.
Birth Of A City The year 1950 will no doubt see Greenbelt fir.ally emerge from
its role of federal protege to that of a real city. As D (for disposal) Date draws nearer, confusion grows greater.
Exactly when and how Public Housing Administration will dis· pose of .Greenbelt still seems to be anyone's guess. Weeding out conjecture is difficult, but the few facts that do exist point to the first quarter of 1950 ·&.s ·the· time, and sale to an organiz~tion composed of residents, such as the Greenbelt Veterans Housing Corporation, the manner.
But within those broad limitations, conflicting and unverifiable reports predict sale as early as January and as late as March; and the manner of disposal ranges, in the reports from the grapevine, from sale of the entire community as a unit, to sale of units as small as those composed of all houses attached to a furnace. The latter possibility seems, at this point, to be out of the question. But who knows what further personnel changes will occur in PHA before a final decision is reached?
Biggest question of all surrounds the undeveloped land. With sa ma,ny people seeing the long green in Greenbea, confusing the leaves· on the trees with dollar bills, we can see a tremndous landrush swooping on the community when D-Day arrives. Can PHA ignore such d·~mand and allow the GVHC to buy large portions of the desirable undeveloped land on the same basis that Public Law 60 provides for the houses? We hope that it can, because only in thiS Way can Wf' see any hope for the eventual replacement Of the beaGty-marring war homes.
If a slice is allowed to go to GVHC, what will happen to th2 l"cSt of the pie? Fortunately, the city council has on hand, ready for iw .. mediat(· action, a zoning plan that will eliminate most of tl:.e horrors that are usually foisted or.. a community in a period of suddent wide~pread development. We are also lucky that the churches have already! acquired lots for church buildings. . '!'he intei-ests of the community call for conflic:ting programs. The larger the extent of the development, the wider the tax base and therefore the more advantages a community can offer its citizens fr·orn. tax funds; at a low tax: rate. On the other hand, however, the more extensive the development, the more likelihood of slums and their attendant evils, unless watchdog attention is paid to the manner of development.
We hope that the Greenbelt Veterans Housing Corporation will hold its promised membership meeting soon, and report to its mem, 'Oers the progress made in arriving at the answers to these and the multitude ofj other questions that are of such vital importance to Greenbelt. '

That's what some folks say Wh~n they learn •.he small monthly income Social Security will pay them at age 65. Maybe so. Th~t is one way of looking at it.
But I say also ''It's too big to throw awt.y!" Social Security is a mighty good foundation on which to build for retirement years. A little extra insurance, planned now, will build a roof over that foundation for you and y()ur familygive you a livable income at age 65.
That's what you want isn't it? Let me tell you how. Just call

Along Our Street with Aunt Penny
j
I stopped at the drug store for a few minutes this morning and w!lile I was there an anxious-looking young ·man came running in and asked for the telephone. When he saw that someone was using it, he explained that there'd been an accident up the street anri that he war.ted to call an
• ambulance. The man who was on the telephone quickly gave up the line and the young man put through his call.
ThU. situation made me realize how vital the telephone is in times of emergency, and how important it is for us to thinlc: of others when we use the telephone,
That's . especially true on party lines. A good partyline neighbor gives up the line when it's needed b an emergency, just as he'd expect others to do-for him. At times like this, a little thoughtfulness goes a long \vay.
