Operatic divas of the past have often been as colorful as the operas they
performed in, as evidenced by these photographs of famous Carmens through-
out the years. They are (left to right) Gladys Swarthout, who sang the role
from 1939 to 1945; Minnie Hauk, the first American Carmen, who performed
the role in 1878; Geraldine Farrar and Emma Calve, who sang it at the 'Met'
in the early 1900s;' and Rosa Ponselle, whose Carmen was the last broadcast
role she sang at the 'Met' prior to her r etirement in 1937. This year's Metro-
politan Opera series, heard Saturday afternoons on the CBC radio network,
promises to be the most colorful, in year s with such familiar operas as Don Gio-
vanni, Barris Godunov, and Otello, along with works such as Adriana, Lecouv-
reur, .and Adriane Auf Naxos, never before broadcast on this series.

More about co-operatives! In
last week's article I discussed
the question of taxation of in-
come of co-operatives.
However after seeing the
program "Point of View" over
CKNX it seems that there are
a great many people who have
no idea of the basic principles
of co-operatives.
A group of people decide that
a certain service is needed. It
may be a feed mill or a grocery
store or a host of other things
we might mention.
Since it is the retail merch-
ants who, are raising the objec-
tions to the taxation of co-
operatives, let us suppose this
group decides on a grocery
store.
After careful study they de-
cide that $10,000 is required.
They decide that $5,000 can be
borrowed from the bank but
they must first raise the other
$5,000. They decide that they
can sell 100 shares at $50 each.
Now they are in business.
After one year's operation they
find that they have a profit
balance of $1,000.
What is to be done with this
profit?.
The elected board of direc-
tors decide that $200 is requir-
ed for new equipment and that
$200 should be used for reduc-
ing their loan requirements.

NEWS OF MIDDLETON
This leaves $600 profits to
be distributed, but there is the
little matter of income tax. Al-
so $100 of this profit was due
to the business done with non-
members.
Taxes are payable on the
$200 for equipment, the $200
to reduce loan requirements
and the $100 non-member busi-
ness profits;
On an average this amounts
to 50 percent which is $250,
leaving $250 profits to be dis-
tributed to member patrons on
the basis of business done by
each niember.
Let us suppose member busi-
ness amounted to $25,000. The
patronage refund would then
be one percent or in fact it
means that the co-operative
charged one percent more than
was necessary to operate the
business and this over-charge
is now being refunded to the
buyer in proportion to his pur-
chases.
To understand the system it
is necessary to understand the
reasoning behind co-operatives.
In a co-operative there are
three very important groups of
people. First there are the
shareholders who invested mon-
ey to make the co-op business
possible.
Second there are the people
who operate the business—the
employees. And the third
group, which in a co-operative
business are not considered a
part of the business, the cus-
tomers.
The person who invests in
shares deserves a return on his
money but since money has al-
most a fixed value in invest-
ments as an interest rate the
co-operative pays a fixed in-
terest on this capital according
to current rates.
The employee is 'paid a sal-
ary but usually has some ar-
rangement in profit sharing.
The third grciup, the custom-
ers, are also felt to be an im-
portant group, since without
the customer there would be no
business, and in the co-op these
people share in the balance of
the profits in. the form df a
price reduction on their pur-
chases.
Because this patronage fund
is freally a price reduction on
merchandise it is not taxable
and co-operative people feel
very strongly that this should
continue to be so.

The RCAF "Year-end Round-
up", released this week, is of
particular interest to personnel
at RCAF Clinton, dealing in
detail with the added respon-
sibilities taken on in the Pine-
tree radar defence' line.
Many of the graduates of
Clinton's largest unit, the Rad-
ar and Communications School,
will be the people manning
some of the very stations men-
tioned.
The report notes that of the
32 operational stations in the
system; originally built and op-
erated jointly by Canada and
the U.S., the RCAF was re-
sponsible for manning only 15.
However, following an inter-
governmental agreement in
1961, Canada assumed respon-
sibility for 11 more sites, the
last of which, at Lowther in
northwestern Ontario, is sched-
uled to change hands in the
summer of 1963.
Of the seven new heavy rad-
ar stations being built to aug-
ment the Pinetree Line, two—
Chibougamau, Quebec a n d
Moosonee, Ontario—became op-
erational in October.
Other sites in Yorkton, Al-
sask and Dana, all in Saskatch-
ewan; Penhold, Alberta and
Gypsumville, Manitoba, are to
enter operational service dur-
ing 1963.
At North Bay, progress con-
tinued on the Semi-Automatic
Ground Environment (SAGE)
site and 446 Surface-to-Air Mis-
sile (SAM) Squadron was
ready for operational service in
mid-March.
The La Macaza Bomarc site
of 447 SAM Squadron was
turned over to the RCAF in
mid-October.
For the RCAF, 1962 was
marked chiefly by preparations
to meet approved defence re-
quirements, continuing activity
on the international scene, sig-
nificant achievements in air
transportation and support of
Canada's contributions in the
new realm of space explora-
tion.
To carry out its duties in
support of Canada's obligationS
to NORAD, NATO and the UN
the Air Force employed some
52,000 men and women in the
Regular Force and about 2,500
in the Auxiliary.

of two-a-month crossed the At-
lantic to Italy and then to Leo-

—Early in November, an ap-
peal from India for help in the
border dispute with China was
answered when six Dakotas
were flown by the RCAF crews
to an airfield near New Delhi
and handed over to the In-
dian government.
—The year also saw RCAF
