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. HAIRY WILLIAMS 11U.2-6633 RR+2CLINTON HEATING OILS-GASOLINE GREASES-M(01.01S, WHITE ROSE 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.

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. Hensall Kin To Sponsor CKNX Barn Dance Hensall Kinsmen held their dinner meeting Thursday at the Kosy Korner Restaurant, with president John Heal presiding for the business session.

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. Outlined Highlights Some of the achievements and highlights of the past year outlined in the report are as follows: —The five remaining CF-100 Mrs. Grigg read a letter of thailkS AVM- Mr,..Ray Wise On behalf of the wardens Senior NCO Promoted Sergeant "Mike" Kowal- chuk, at present on course at Radar & Communications School RCAF Station Clin- ton, was recently promoted to the rank of Flight Ser- geant.

In col- laboration with the Defence Research Board, a small Areas research rocket was launched from RCAF Station Cold Lake, Alberta in September, reaching an altitude of 60 miles. —Two RCAF CF-100s with their air and ground crews were stationed at the USAF's Patrick Air Force Base in Flor- ida and played an important role in the U.S. missile pro- gram. —In the first 10 months the RCAF was instrumental in, sav- ing 95 lives with some 4,000 hours being flown, 54 search operations conducted and 240 mercy flights. —In the same period 650 marine incidents were also co- ordinated by RCAF search and rescue centre. 0 Canada's national income in 1961 was $27,913,000,000, of which taxes collected by the three levels of 'government took $9,897,000,000 or 35.3 per- cent. church members for their gen- erous donation of MO in Dec- ember.

The president led a discus- sion on finapical Projects in the year and it was decided to have the birthday box, The matter of a baking sale was left in abeyance. Mrs, Dutot's suggestion of dividing the members in two group's, the "Gloomy" and the "Sunshine" was adopted. On a gloomy day at 10 a.rn, that side deposits a copper in the kitty and on a bright day the Sun- shine contribute to their priv- ate fund likewise, It was 'decided to hold social evenings during the winter. Mrs. Gordon Rathwell con- tributed a lovely poem and Mr. Harrison closed the meet- ing with prayer after which the ladies served a delicious lunch.
