With several hundred races and creed distinctions in Can- ada, Canadians have no choice but ta practice brotherhood. It will make a better and stranger country he assured the aud.- ence.

The Durham County Co-op. bas planned a new and larger building at a new loca- tion. There will be room ta expand as the business in- creases. Bes'des the services it now supplieès, we suggest a gas and ail service would be beneficial. Hardware supplies and in time household needs and foods could add ta their business. The most !ruitful expansion projects that could be under- taken: 1, More Co-op. Market- ing Boards; 2, Co-op Housing Development; 3, Co-op. Dairy Products Handling; 4, Co-op. Produet Processing. \Ve should give aur ful cn- operation ta aur Co-op, adver- tise it, and see that ail know what the Co-op. is doing and can do. We should make more use of Credit Unions and be willing ta give financial support for Co-op expansion. The next meeting Monday, March 4, will ibe at the home of Mr. ai-d Mrs. Bruce Tink.
