CO-OFERATION ALL THE WffiT
from page 2
this seems to be a long
ways off, and we will
have to consider realiv
tics in the meantime.
So long a3 wo have to
fight for our existence
let us use the most use
ful and effective meth
od that we can find.
This seems to be to sup
port the big organiza
tions that arc working
for us. Support them
with funds and the best
thinkers and speakers
that we have. Then, on
the local level, use our
influence to support our
own Co-op. It Is sur
prising hev/ effective a
few well spoken words
will help. Tell your
neighbors and friends
and be patient and kind
to those who oppose you.
Remember, you arc sup
posed to be a more in
telligent person than
those who are not fam
iliar with the princi
ples of co-operation.
Use reason, not abuse,
to convert your neigh
bor and the results will
generally be satisfact
ory.
