Mrs. Fierson explained thirt the

ate during the past year without a
general manager due to the’fact
that the Territorial RE;, offices
were located in Palmer and could

employees each carried his or her
share of the responsibility. This
plan had worked out very well, Mrs.
Pierson reported.

miles of line and added 105 additior
al consumers.

loan amounted to $8797.40, and in
terest of $5,152.89.

PHILIPPINES Cont. from pp. 2
annually. Only 15 per cent of this
huge amount, however, is controlled
d;/ Piiipino businessmen, while the
bulk, 85 per cent is controlled by
aliens.
This condition of domestic affairs
in the Philippines may be responsi
ble for the growth of Cooperatives
and the vigorous .educational pro
gram which the leaders are promot
ing. Cooperatives grow best where
there is a conscious need for the
benefits they offer.
