Carr Etobicoke SWEEP students clean up 100 tons roadside garl Recently I wrote an article outlining some of the history of the credit union movement and endeavoured to remove some wrong impressions that were deepseated in the minds of some of our I now draw attention to the people of Holland and their self treated Once again we note that it is the farming community who have joined together to lean upon other shoulders to provide the security of self help Throughout the ages the farmer has fully reilised the necessity of co operation and becoming his brothers keeper City dwellers have followed in his footsteps with the resultant nation wide strong and well run credit unions Turning to the United Kingdom it has been noted that many years ago the impoverished cotton weavers of Lancashire formed a union for selfhelp but somehow the movement never seemed to expand In recent years a young lady from the Old Sod toured the North American Continent and returned to her native Ireland to further the credit union movement Credit Unions are now flourishing throughout the British Isles I have mentioned some of the things that a credit union IS NOT It is however a group of people who agree to save their money together and to nuke loans to each other at low interest A credit union Is by members of a particular group for instance people working for the same employer people who belong to the same fraternal order church or labour union or people who live in the same closely knit community as the citizens of and their surrounding neighbors do Membership Is open to all In the group regardless of race or creed The SWEEP program was successful We completed a number of projects which otherwise could not have been done because of lack of staff and funds said General Manager H K Watson describing the work of students who completed their summer working for the Credit Valley Conservation Authority With a budget of the students extended the program an extra week and finished the summer under budget Since June the young people have cleaned up 100 tons of garbage along the roadsides and streams of four counties They also did such diverse jobs as budding a rail fence at Meadow vile taking off a crop of hay at Hillsburgh building goose nesting structures at Orange- demolishing three cottages and a garage at Belfountain and a house at cleaning the pool and building a children playground at Terra Cotta bage removing log Jams on the Credit River painting all the Authority signs The students have an enviable record They the projects set out for them by the
