~OOPERATIVES

CAN~T

PROFITEER
THE THOUGHT IN EVERY·
one's mind today is the prospect of
profiteering. Prices have been
rising; many persons are fearful
and confused; no one can say for
certainty where or how the rise will
end. But there is one certain way
you can avoid being victimized.
Join and trade with a Cooperative!
Because a Cooperative cannot pos·
sibly profiteer.
A COOPERATIVE IS OWNED
by the same people who boy from
it. A Cooperative is necessarily
bound to work in the interests of
its owners, and therefore. will do
everything possible to keep prices
reasonable. Savings between the operating cost and selling price are returned to the consumer-owners in
proportion to each one's patronage.
The various Cooperatives are joined
together to operate their own
Wholesale, which also serves with·
out profit. Since there is no place
in the Cooperative Movement for

profits, there can never be profi.
teering.
YOU MAY JOIN A COOPERA.
tive with the idea of saving money.
Soon yoo will be impressed with the
quality of goods sold under the
CO-OP Label (because as owners
of our own business we have no incentive for cheating ourselves).
Y00 will find that C()'()P Label
goods are sold only in genuine
Cooperatives.
COOPERATION NOT ONLY
works toward peace, but is peaceful
in its methods all the way. Cooperators seek no man's property or
. profits. Cooperation is simply a
way of doing thing!! together with.
out exploitation, of enjoying and
sharing the abundance which is pos.
sible when the servic~motive replaces the profit.motive. When

Upper Darby High School and Howard

both of whom have be'en active in

In appointing the committee Mr.
Cook states that the Red Cross contioues to emphasize the advisability of
all wardens taking the full standard
First Aid course of twenty hours instead of the shortened ten hour course
which is understood by all factors as
not fulfilling the requirements of fuU
first aid training. The shortened course
is for the purpose, however, of giving
Air Wardens some of the basic fundamentals in first aid training as a distinct part of necessary instructions in
the duties of their warden jobs.

Dandy" Greeted HeartHy
by Saroyan Addicts, Puzzles
Less Sophisticated

The Players Club's extra production
of "Jim Dandy," and "experimental,
non-realistic play" by Saroyan both
puzzled and intrigued its audiences last
Friday and Saturday. If its meaning
seemed obscure to many some comfort
can be gleaned from the fact that its
author is equally confusing to much
of the theatrical world which has both
acclaimed and denounced him. This reviewer makes no attempt to interpret
his "message." He probably says different things to variausly sensitive individuals.
The play was given an intelligent,
sympathetic interpretation by the Players Club cast under the direction of
the club's president, John Dolman, Jr.,
who also appeared in the name part.
The setting by Dr. Dolman's daughter
Barbara D. Spencer was particularly
interesting and atmospherical. Mrs.
Spencer's Flora was seductively spiritual. How it would spice a pedantic

Philadelphia's record as a good one, the
speaker said that there are 515,000
separate houses, more than in any other
city in the world. Of these, 40,000 are
without sanitation, plumbing, heat or
electricity.
Mr. Binn's rehabilitation of bligbted
areas in the central parts of the city
now comprise more than 2000 homes
which have been rebuilt on a basis of
simplicity and low-cost maintenance.
They are nearly all occupied by negroes, of whom there are about 315,000
in Philadelphia, and are operating on
a basis of less than a 20/'0 Joss of all
kinds as the credit responsibility of
the group is exceptionally high.
Each unit whether a house or apartment provides modern plumbing, heating, electricity, cross-ventilation and an
attractive exterior. Pictures of various
street sections "before" and "after"
demonstrated the remarkable changes
which have been made.
The Board on National Resources of
which Mr. Binns is a member is engaged in planning a huge program of
housing which should be ready to utilize tbe millions of men wbo will be
available for employment after the war
is over. The basic problem aecordiug

OUR 1942
SAMPLE BOOKS

The Players Club's extra production
of "J im Dandy," and "exllcrimental,
lion-realistic play" by Saroyan both
pUzzled and intrigued its audicnces last
Friday and Saturday. If its meaning
seemed obscure to many some comfort
can be gleaned irom the fact that its
author is equally confusing to much
of the theatrical world which has both
ace lail11ed and denounced him. This reviewer makes no attcmpt to interpret
his "message," Hc probably says differcnt thintis to variously sensitive indi\'iduals.
The play was given an intelligent,
sympathetic interpretation by the Playcr~ Club cast under the direction of
the club's president, John Dolman, Jr.,
who also appeared in the name part.

To Play Old Favorites
The program also gives the names of
a number of guests at the birthday
party which is the oct:asion for relldition oC many of the old favorite songs,
first in solo by some singers who will
surprise you, then by the entire audience. Beatrice S. Gillespie has arranged
the incidental music. She at the grand

Audience ill Costume
Everybody takes part in this kind of
play: not only the cast, but audience
as well. The cast wishes that all who
can find costumes of the gay nineties
in their attics would wear them. The
hostesses and the door men will be
appropriately attired.
Jr. Play on 28th
Rosemary Gabbert Musil's dramatization of :Margaret Sidney's charming
story, "Five Little Peppers" is the next
production of the Junior Plays Committee of the Club. It is to be given on
Saturday, February 28, matinee and
evening.

Directed by Mrs. William F. Boyle
and Mrs. Vernon M. Parry, the cast
includes Nancy Savelli, June Ullman,
Dick Hook, Barbara Lou Parry, Andrew }'t:arch, David Morey, Bill Sickel
and others. Here, too, is a play the
audience can enjoy in a party spirit,
and the committee hopes a large number will take the hint and do that very
thing.

Blackouts
The following \Var Department radiogram, dated January 13, 1942 is repeated for your information and guidance:
IIRecent War Department tests of illumination under Blackout Conditions
conclusively demonstrated that blue illumination is more easily seen from air
by experienced observers and less helpful to ground activity than any other
colors. No further use will be made of blue illumination for blackout purposes.
Of all colors in visible spectrum dcep red illumination is least visible from air,
most helpful 011 ground, and best suited to preserving dark adaptation of eyes.
Where color must be used in order to lower intensity of tights deep red wilt
be used. Consideration must be given to fact that red illumination is not normal
and if improperly lIsed may betray the installation it proposes to conceal. Low
intensity while light is suitablc for purpose of blackout i1lumination in majority
of instances. Where directed by appropriate authority aU light sources shall be
hooded so as not to project any light above the horizontal and intensity of any
light used shall be minimum compatible with purpose for which used."

By Command of Major General Reckford.

They didn't know about lDDDEN HUNGER

in Lincoln's lime
BAcxin 1831 when Abraham
Lincoln clerked in a grocery
store, people hadn't heard
about vitamins, minerals
and other food essentials.
But many often felt under
par-without knowing why.
Today this kind of malnutrition is called HIDDEN
HUNGER. Mi11ions of Americans have it because they
don't eat the right foods.
They feel under par, lack
endurance-at a time when
America needs everybody
to put his best foot forward.
To correct HIDDEN HUNGER, the nation's expert nutritionists have planned
model diets. Every
one includes milk-a

pint daily for &.dults-a
quart for children. Milk,
alone, can't conquer HIDDEN HUNGER

but it pro-

vides a bountiful supply
of essential elements.*
Get the milk habit the
easy way-with Supplee
Sealtest Homogenized Vitamin 0 Milk. Its creamy,
tempting taste is all through
the bottle-with valuable
vitamin 0 added. Contribute to the might of America by making your family
stronger and healthier. Call

Most characteristic of the meadows
are Clapper Rails, a salt-water representative of the game-bird class known
familiarly as "Mud Hens." These birds
have a superficial resemblance to chickens in their shape and actions, but they
arc remote from domestic fowl both by
blood and temperament. They have
large un-webbed feet which enable them
to walk across tbe softest mud. while
they can compress their bodies and
squeeze through the densest stand o(

grass-stalks without coming into view.

the entrance of key characters throughout the play, adding to the drama and
the humor no end.

•

If 125 Swarthmoreans will agree
to give volunteer blood donations to
the American Red Cross for men of
the United States Army and Navy
arrangements can be made to do so
locally in the early spring. Many
persons realizing the importance of
storing the blood plasma so that it
may be used as needed for defense
purposes have inquired as to tbis
possibility.
The Woman's Club has generously donated its Park avenue
clubhouse and facilities for the
purpose of establishing a locsI center which would be staffed by
physicians afternoon and evening
in order to permit blood donations
at the cost of only a maximum
half hour of time. Colfee will be
served blood donors by the Red
Cross canteen. Locs1 businessmen
and firemen have' led in the request for a borough' center and 30
firemen have already signed' as
donors.

Borough residents are now requested
to save any and all kinds of fat except
poultry fat in anticipation of its use by
an extension of last summer's canning
conservation group which will convert
this meat waste product into soap. The
comparatively small local collection of
grease is considered negligible in the
govermnent's salvage of glycerin from
fat, therefore since a handy market is
claimed the project has the permission
and encouragement of the district officials on national conservation.

~o one will want to miss it, for it's

effccti"e is the scene where Phronsie, in
her elTort to help joel and Davey prepare the surprise birthday breakfast for

all. 1I:eedless to say, this arouses thc
whole family, and gives away the secret.
:\nd the "j ust pretend" hoat trip taken

is realistic, and not lacking in excitelIIent.
Swarthmore "mumpsters" will especially enjoy the scene where Joel suddenly comes down with mumps with the
aid of cotton and red paint.
These delightful bits are only the beginning, for things are happening every

:\fter the melodrama of last week, the
audience will fecI inclined to cheer when
Charles \Vhitney, in the person of James
