Education has enough prob- lems without introducing innovations that would tend to weaken the structure of secondary education in the province, They are not only puzzled by the wild doings that have taken place on Parlia- ment Hill but are puzzled too by the ques- tion that started the sechmozzle. Our stand is clear. Missiles in Canada, or nuclear warheads is no defense and no deterrent. 'The one purpose they might serve is a bad one; creating in the minds of the public a feel- ing that they are safe from nuclear war. The militarists as a group are far too strong in the Western world as jt is. If Canada adopts nuclear arms we simply strengthen the hand of the military clique and their supporters. We should vote against nuclear arms for this country. This is not the same as saying that the United States is wrong to use them as a defengjve deterrent. er role in world polities is very different from ours, as different as our compara- tive power and influence, chosen to let nuclear: arms Manchester The Manchester Credit Union re- ceived its charter in October, 1954 and when October 1962 rolled around it had assets of one half million dollars. This is an outstanding accomplish- ment for a rural credit union where membership is totally voluntary and the bond of association broad. Qur bonu of association is so different from one covering all employees of a certain industry, or all members of.a church. It is relatively simple to let everyone in bonds such as these know what credit union is and how they can use theirs. We send the 'people within ten miles of Manchester an open letter once a year because we feel that the average person .is in- terested in the growth of this enmter- prise and then we hope we have agid the right thing which will prompt them to come to the office to find out the details. Of course our best pro- motion-is done by our members who recommend credit union to their friends because of their own experi- ence. We are still of the opinion that there are many people who find them- selves with less security than they had hoped for and they do not know that the Manchester Credit Union was set up to give them just this se- curity. Why has our credit union been. so successful? Right from the .start when the Ontario County Federation of Agriculture sponsored the educa- tional aspect of credit union, a very progressive, hard-thinking group of farmers and small business men be- came enthusiastic about the broad community advantages and the .per- sonal. gains of credit union and.gave the movement their support and the influence of their experience in finan- cial matters by working on the board of directors and the various commit- tees. No one who has worked with these people could minimize the im- portance of the duty of the member- | ship to: choose this calibre -of person for the: executive, with the result:that the harmony and co-operation the credit.union has enjoyed has been one of itaggreatest assets.' The motto of any credit union, is "Not for profit, not for charity but for service", and in the Manchester Ouedit Union we haye always: triedito live our credit union 'lives just" this include mid-week services each Wed- nesday morning at 10:.8:m., two-spe+ cial services of Holy Communion: for teenagers at 7.80 am..on Ash 'Wed. nesday (yesterdsy).and.on:the Tues. day of Holy Week; and:azMen's Car- porate Communion, likely on March 24th at 8 am, Two Parish Evenings are_ planned. The first of these will be:omthe theme of The Church on the Frontier-4the Mission to the Arctic. *Rev,.E. Ger. ber will give a .talk, illustrated .by ¢lides, following Evensong .at"7 p.m. on Sunday, March 17. A parish fireside on :the theme "The Church at Home". will be held on Sunday, March 81st .with 'Evensopg at 7, followed by a discussion and workshop led by Rev. David 'Jones. The Young Peoples' will "be hosts for the!first of these parish evenings, and the ladies of the Women's Auxi- linry for:the second. Credit bers wanting. service have found the credit uinon good and to their advant- age in matters financial. This has made the difference which sparked the outstanding, growth. The primary aim of a credit union is not profit but it is a business and must be run as such, expenses must be covered, obligations must be met, and all the many items which arise in looking after several hundred accounts must be done with knowledge and precision. The Manchester credit Union aims at a 4% dividend on all insured share accounts and for the last-five years have accomplished this. The board feels that no investment of their knowledge can match this in re- turn, availability and security. In the eight years of operation the 'Manchester Credit Union has written off-two loans. 'When we lend a mem- ber money we expect it to be paid back. We do all we can to help in every way but when a borrower is working and not paying his debt it is necessary to be-strict. The real aim is service. We try to do the utmost for our members to help them to greater thriftiness to show them how to have for them- selves and. their families the import- ant things in life through credit union membership.
