D FAO Helps Co-ops in Developing Countries From an FAO Statement on International ssistance to Co-operatives in Developing ountries, presented by R. H. Gretton: “FAO‘s contribution in promoting Coâ€"oper- atives in developing countries is determined by the methods of work which are open to it under the terms of its constitution. FAO was created to serve its member governments; it takes orders from them and not vice versa. The methods used to assist the development of coâ€"operatives are six-fold in nature: 1. a consultative service, based on a system- atic collection of information by mail and by personal enquiry, undertaken by the FAO speâ€" cialist staff; 2. the organization of technical meetings and/or courses of training, usually on a re- gional basis; 3. at the request of member governments. finding and recruiting experts with superior knowledge; 4. the granting of fellowships and arrang- ing specialized instruction for them; 5. preparing and publishing technical papers on subjects of acknowledged importance at the international level; 6. providing limited amounts of technical equipment, such as films with a co-operative theme, or sample visual aid items. The money which FAO uses comes from several sources. First, the Regular Budget made up of annual contributions payable by its memâ€" ber countries; second, the Expanded Technical Assistance Program financed by special sub- scriptions made each year by as many coun~ tries as choose to do 50; third, the United Nations Special Fund; fourth, funds subscribed to 5Pacific projects under the FAO Freedom from Hunger Campaign; fifth, Funds Trust, which is money paid to FAQ by a member country or by an organization with a request to carry out a particular project. The Expanded Technical Assistance Pro- gram tends to be concentrated more on the provision of experts, fellowships and training centres, while the Regular Budget takes care of FALI. 1965 technical meetings. preparation of papers for publication and the general work of collect- ing and disseminating information." Working Together for Safety ‘From an address by Mrs. Agnes D. Beaton, Director, Women’s Division, Allstate Foundaâ€" tion, U.S.A.: “Isn‘t it amazing that we have been able to communicate with each other through satel- lites, conquer space, develop worldwide pushâ€" button telephones and in the simple task of reaching the driver we have failed. Isn’t it appalling that in modern day society we must appeal to the driver through crusades for safety, to impress upon him the importance and value of life. What has made us forget that life is a God given gift and we have no right to destroy it? As homemakers and mothers we have such a wonderful opportunity not only to create courteous and safe drivers but also to give to the world strong and able leaders. Our first responsibility is to create an atmosphere of love and respect in our homes. The youngster will imitate the person he sees most often. If the child sees only selfishness, disrespect. dis- courtesy and disinterest exhibited, can he be expected to respect the lives of others. much less their property? On the other hand. if he sees the mother and father active in commu- nity life. obedient to traffic laws. respecting authorities and showing courtesy to other drivers who use the highways, he will adopt such standards as his own." i i * TE‘X/KESBURY ROAD john Masefield It is good to be our on the road, and going one knows no! where, Going through meadOW and village, one knows not whither not why; Through the grey light drift of the dust, in the keen, cool rush of the air Under the flying white clouds, and the broad blue lift of the sky. And to halt at the chattering brook, in the tall green fern at the brink Where the harcbell grows, and the gorse, and the fox-gloves purple and white; 'Where the shy-eyed delicate deer troop down to the brook to drink \‘(f’hen the stars are mellow and large at the coming on of the night. 0, to feel the beat of the rain, and the homely smell of the earth, ‘ Is a tune for the blood to jig to, a joy past power of words; And the blessed green comely meadows are all a-ripple with mirth At the noise of the lambs at play and the dear wild cry of the birds. * t 'k 13
