It was® a time of great distress, known in history as the "hun- gry 40s'"" / The weavers of Rochdale were in a terrible plight, Most of them were working for the un- believable pittance of 45. cents a week. In the midst of plenty they had nothing but scarcity. They staged a strike and lost it, but they were not to be beaten. The New Idea In 1843 they were investigat- ing and 'studying the possibili- 1 their lives. They struck an idea that made them famous, They were already 'cooperating as producers in . PLAIN HORSE SENSE. By F. (BOB) VON PILIS trade unions, but now. they de<" cided to reverse the procedure and start at the consumer end. They would open a store and serve themselves, Other places would do the same. Through these stores they would go into wholesales, thence to the manu- facturing, and finally to the ownership of land and raw ma- rials. Thus they would be- e independent of the rest of the economic world, Théy saw -that whoever had control over the distributing and consuming end, would in time get control over the agen- ~ oles of production too, They had a high philosophical motive. To use their own words, they were going to build a soclety in which they would proceed "to arrange the powers of produe- tion, ment." First -Co-op Store They. devised their rules, the education and govern- famous Rochdale principles. They would build a store which "would pay back whatever money was made in the selling of goods and furthermore they would pay each in proportion to his loyalty and patronage. Thus, for the first time in his- tory, was born a way by which business could be carried on without taking undue toll from human beings. Here at last was a mechanism that brought ab- solute justice into. the- economic field. - The Rochdale weavers' scheme was a plan of action for con- sumers who owned the.store. In order to get this store they needed capital, and by super- human effort, over a whole year . 28 weavers saved about $140. With this small amount they stocked their store with a mea- gre supply of oatmeal, tea, - sugar and candles, On December 21, 1844, they took the shutters down from their little store on Toad Lane - amid the jeers and cat-calls of the village urchins. The Bchéme worked, and in a short time Toad Lane became a great store and is today a shrine for co-operators from all over the earth, : In three years their member- ship was 1,850 and their capital $75,000, with a business turn- over of $400,000. In 1983 the we. 'WORLD CALENDAR-Sue Feit shows a new world calendar which Is being considered by the UN, The calendar would divide the : year into four quarters by 91 days each. An extra day called Worldsday would be added at the end of December, and during leap year, an additional day called Leapyear Day would: be added to the end of June. The extra days, lettered "W," would be world holidays. In her left hand, Sue holds a month of 1582 n calendar and a month of a 1752 calendar. "total. membership of British Co- ops. was. over eleven millions and the volume of business 'well over 2,000 million dollars. The co-operatives are the largest private business organization in Britain. Rochdale Plan For All While the Rochdale pioneers -only partially: realized their dream of getting land and raw materials, yet their ideas were taken up by primary producers all over the world. They have - been the foundation upon which this great class of human beings have bettered their position. "Co-operative marketing and processing has been a universal result, but the great thing the Rochdale pioneers did for prim- ary producers was to give them ~ the idea of the consumer ap- proach and the technique of consumer cooperation, . In addition to being. produc- ers, these primary groups are 'also the world's greatest con- sumers. Indeed a common de- nominator of all men is that they are consumers, The Rochdale plan that work- ed for industry applies even more powerfully to the primary producers.

Perhaps because vagabonds were whipped there long ago. And a square in Hull has the intriguing name of The Land of Green Ginger. Some years ago two East London streets with warlike names, Waterloo and Artillery, were incorporated and renamed Peace Street. A councillor once strongly objected to Great Yar- mouth calling a thoroughfare Barkis Road, after the famous Dickens character. He said Bar- kis was. "a drunken old rascal whose nose was red." The coun- cil, however, decided to retain the name of Barkis Road. Petticoat Hole in Stockton got its quaint name from an old bequest left to provide under- gar ts every year for poor a , A short cut to the docks in "Cardiff was named Go Late, In the north of England two not particularly lovely streets used to be known as Paradise and Elysium, Birdcage Walk in London was the aviary of Charles II. And Pall Mall stands where once fashionable Londoners played paillemaille, 'a croquet - like game. Constitution Hill marks the place where an early own- er of the site once took his morning constitutional. And for the tourist searching for quaintness, Norfolk provid- es the Land of Nod and Little Snoring. Or, if you're really hungry in your search, you must travel 'to Scotland to locate Tongue, Ham Sandwich, Christ mas Pie and Devil's Beef Tub. Some of these villages were named so long ago that no one now knows . the reason why. They are all that is left of the sense of humour that prevailed in remote parts of the country "4n those far-off days. TELEPATHIC DACHSHUND . Mr. Arent Ter Weeme, who lives in Pretoria, has a little dachshund called Kina who can count, Her master thinks tele- pathy, combined with a high degree of intelligence, is the ex- planation for Kina's uncanny 'mathematical ability, When he shows Kina a sum, he is thinking! of the answer, and Kina is able to sense what is in his mind. She gives the answer b arking the appro. - priate number of times. Mr. Ter Weeme says: "Her ability is due to her own think- ing, helped by my powers of suggestion. I must emphasize that 1 give no secret signs." Children who come to see Kina, hold up their fingers.

The sudden clanging in the middle of the night awoke the neighbourhood. lice s+ caught the men as they were stagger- . ..a police official: "The bell acted as a splendid burglar alarm." Planned burglar alarms have - also ,been in the news, for it was announced not long ago that a new type of radio alarm developed from the radio-prox= imity fuse used in the war has proved very successful. Reflect- ed radio waves cause a bell to ring loudly, A recently invented burglar alarm sets off a recording of shrieks and screams. Women with powerful voices made the record. A widow living with an el derly servant was so obsessed with the idea that her house would be robbed that she had a record made of a dog barking followed by a deep male voice demanding in threatening tones, "Who's there?" It had not been installed more than a month when a burglar . did visit her house. He started off the alarm and was so scared that he tsre from the house leaving his kit behind him in the front hall. An aged spinster who lived a hermit-like existence in Ed- monton feared burglars so much that she fitted up a primitive burglar alarm. She tied scores of tin cans to string and hung them above doorways. Burglar alarms can be an em- barrassment to their owners. A Holborn, London, tradesman's burglar alarm went off acci- dentally one night and rang for seventy-five minutes. S6me one complained to the police, The man had to pay a fine and costs for "causing annoyance te hood." - Women who fear attacks from bandits in the streets can buy in New York a portable "bur- glar alarm" so small that they can carry it in their handbags. All a woman has to do Is: to move a switch. Then the alarm shrieks like a ftctory siren.

Cobb had to serve a divorce paper on his wife and took two policemen to protect him, When they reached the first floor apartment in ' Detroit, where the lady lives, she let loose - with a book-end that struck her busband on the head, a heavy vase that hit one officer on the neck and a dish that ' struck the second constable. Then she let fly with a var- fety of pots and pans until the trio fled. As they emerged from the front door a basinful of dishwater greeted them. And the chief of police refused to charge the woman because all three men were illegally on her property.

Tin Of Sardines Brought New Husband Pretty, blue-eyed Mrs. Norma Kersten, a slim Norwegian, had been married only five weeks when her husband died sudden- ly. It was a shattering blow to her happiness. It also meant that she must get a job at once, for nearly all the young couple's savings had gone to furnish their little flat, The kindly , manager of the sardine-packing factory where her husband had worked for some years came to the rescue. He offered the young widow her Juishand's job. She took it thank- y. Weeks passed. Then when she __ arrived home one evening, Nor- ma realized with a shock that her wedding ring was s It bore her and her husband's initials, intertwined. Norma remembered that she was wearing the ring when she left for the factory that morn. ing. A prolonged search at the factory and in the flat proved fruitless. The loss greatly wor- ried her, Six months passed. Then one morning the manager sent for astonishing letter which had ar- rived from a man living in far- oft Sydney, Australla. "Yesterday 1 went into a local shop and bought a tin of sar- dines which had been packed in your factory," he wrote. "When I opened it, I found a wedding her and showed Norma: an: have belonged to onc of your workers so I made a note of the factory aldress on the and tin decided to write this letter. "If you can trace the owner and she proves to be a widow--I have a strong that she is--please tell her the ring is safe and I will return it. Ask her to write to me, enclos- ing her photograph. Perhaps I _ should add that I am young and a bachelor." : Anxious to get her ring back, the overjoyed girl complied with the young man's request. But she received no further letter. The other day Norma was again called into the manager's office, and was surprised to see sitting there a sun-tanned, hand. some young man--the finder of the ring. He smiled pleasantly as he handed it te her. 'It was obvi. ous that he had fallen in love with her at first sight, That. evening, when Norma's work was done, the pair met a- gain. He proposed over a res. taurant meal, and told her that he had come all the way from Sydney--about 12,000 miles-- Just to see her. "I knew from your photo that I would love you," he said. ; Norma accepted him. They plan to marry in the spring.
