reader to send forward to the spotlight a few lines which should color the theme designated Cooper atives and Cooperation The following seems something of a classic ami reminded mo of the thought of one of Canadas greatest sons W King who just a decade ago looked at the international scene and the policy needed for general wel fare At the moment I cannot put my hand on the text but vividly recall its closing note Its aim is brotherhood its method co operation The quotation below is from John T Hull Winnipeg Cooperation has been and is a great spiritual factor in mans upward march It has meant mutual aid amity peace con cord It has united men not di vided them it has conserved life not destroyed it Its law is the law of love it has been the mainspring of justice and the bond of all soc iety It has promoted peace and goodwill among men It has a place in all religions and in every system of ethics It has been the handmaiden of every human activity which makes for a higher and nobler life It is a thing of which nobody Is asham ed and which everybody honors From the primitive horde through tribe class community nation we can measure hu man progress by the extent to which cooperation has been sub stituted for competition It is the yardstick by which we mea sure civilization History teaches us no surer thing than this that the increasing purpose in human life of which the poet sings finds its expression in human coop eration which having carried the race from savagery to civili zation will carry it on to uni versal A Former HERE AND THERE Continued from Page page of Inst weeks Em

closing hours of certain busi nesses but no one took on the responsibility of petitioning store owners in various special cate gories and the bylaw never was changed In fact many store keepers remain open illegally Friday nights Council has been waiting a year and a half for the merchants to petition themselves so that the bylaw could be changed The merchants were not worried about the bylaw but council was council wanted to change its parking hours in order to collect more revenue from the meters on Friday nights Council didnt want to change its parking law if there were any possibility of
