GETTING BACK TO BASIC PRINCIPLES Serious questions about the cooperative movement sometimes arise in the minds of prospective members. They are prompted many times by radical statements of uninformed opponents of the movement. These statements state-ments include much name calling at times. Cooperatives are called communists, radicals, enemies of the free enterprize system and unAmerican, to mention only ' a few. But the American people can't be fooled by such charges. They remember, for instance, that the most progressive democracies in the world are the nations where the cooperative movement Is the strongest. In Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and England a large part of the business of these countries is carried . on by producers and consumers coops. Also they remember re-member that in rural America where pure unadulterated unadulterat-ed Americanism is the strongest, that the cooperative movement has been growing by leaps and bounds since tho great depression began in 1929. ;.' AMERICAN LEADERS ENDORSE Leaders of the country are strongly in favor of the movement. Witness the following: ; Both of the great national political parties have endorsed the movement in their national platforms. The Democrats as early as 1936 declared in favor 'of the consumer cooperative movement The Republicans likewise have gone On record In I their iavor. In 1944, their national platform declared: ' "Educational progress and the social and economic stability and well being of the farm family must be a prime, national purpose. For the establishment of such a program we propose the following: (among other things), ' 6, ''Support of the principle of bona fide farmer owned and farmer operated cooperatives." WHAT BRIGHAM YOUNG SAID: "Any people who will cooperate on correct principles will Increase in material wealth and prosperity. pros-perity. H the people called Latter-day Saints do not become one In temporal things, as they ate in spiritual spirit-ual things, they win not redeem and build up the Zloh of God upon the earth. This cooperative move-ment move-ment is a stepping stone. We say to the people, take advantage of it, it is your privilege." (Journal (Jour-nal of Discourses 13:3.) NATIONALLY KNOWN LEADER FAVORS COOPERATIVE EFFORT Ezra Taft Benson, nationally known farm coop leader and Mormon Apostle declared among other things, at last October L. D. S. conference: In many areas our system of marketing and distributing our farm products and purchasing farm production supplies needs to be improved. Farmers need to improve their bargaining power. There Is a tendency among many of our people, and not confined alone to our people, to sell their products pro-ducts in rather large quantities at wholesale, and to buy back in small dabs, here and there, their .needed supplies at retail prices. As one of our distinguished financiers, Bernard M, Baruch, has said: The farmer selling in unlimited Competition with himself, has been buying at more or less controlled con-trolled prices from industries which have organized organ-ized their production and marketing." "Let us stand together on our own feet. Let us cooperate to accomplish these so-called material objectives. A sound agriculture is vital to the national na-tional economy. I like the words of that great Irish pioneer In cooperative effort, Horace Plunket, who labored for many years among the poor, downtrodden down-trodden farmers of Ireland, when he said: "For the longer I live, the more certain do I become that what the best of governments can do for farmers is of insignificant importance compared com-pared with what, by carefully thought out and loyal cooperation, they can do for themselves." "Let us as Latter-day Saints stand on our own feet. Let us not be inclined to run to a paternalistic paternalis-tic government for help when every problem arises, but let us attack our problems jointly, and through effective, cooperative effort, solve our problems at home." Thousands of patriotic American leaders in church and state have endorsed the cooperative movement; space will not permit us to quote them. Suffice to say, that many of them have declared that the cooperative movement is the antidote for communism ana is American free enterprize at its best. MOUNT A LAKE ASSOCIATION, organized by the farmers of the Sharon area is both a producers produc-ers and consumers coop organized to help farmers and their friends help themselves. STRATTON, WENTZ AND POULSEN Entirely at their own expense three directors of the association, John B. Stratton, C. Maston Wentz and Charles H. Paulsen left Wednesday for an extended trip to cooperative centers" in the mid-west and South -for the purpose of studying the cooperative movement move-ment first hand and making tie ups with manufacturers manufactur-ers for goods needed by the association. CONTRACTS FOR PLANT LET Contracts for two 11,500 gallon gas and oil tanks were awarded to the Lang Company in Salt Lake this week. Included in the contracts were tanks for the farm delivery truck. Installation should take place early in March. CREDIT UNION NEXT A committe was appointed by the board of directors to draft articles of incorporation for a credit union. A lending agency, it was felt, should be near at hand to loan money to those members of the association needing need-ing loans to finance their purchases. Mount A'Lake does not sell on credit, hence the necessity of an agency with offices near by to take care of the credit business. It will also give members an opportunity to loan their money safely at a fair rate of interest. NEW MEMBERS ROLLING IN Many new members are being added to the association as-sociation rolls. Four more from American Fork' were brought in by Alfred Madsen, president of the Utah Celery Association and a director of Mount A' Lake. Captains Moroni Jensen of the West team and Lawrence Palmer of the East team are making their plans for a steady drive to the finish date March 1st. President Stratton has already concluded he will have to buy the 1000 lbs of beef for the big barbecue and he is making arrangements for it before he leaves on his Eastern trip. BE SURE OF AN INVITATION Remember, free tickets to the big picture show, barbecue and dance will be given to all members, their wives and children over 18 years of age. Also those non members, who, since the contest started have done $10 worth of business with the association, associa-tion, will likewise get free tickets to the big celebration. cele-bration. Trade at Mount A' Lake Service opposite Scera Theater and join the association now and get in on, the ground floor of this history making mak-ing movement.
