Following is the composition which wins first prize: CO-OPERATION (Prize-winning essay by Jean McGarva age 15, pupil of Upper Sumas school) “Co-operation means the working- together of a number of people for some specific purpose, either for their own collective benefit, or for the general good of the community. Cooperators if they are going to carry on successfully, must sink their own selfish interests. They must be loyal to each other, and to the association. Farmers cooperate to market their milk, and farm products. Cooperation in Canada. is just in it’s infancy “Denmark is the home Co - operation. The farmers of Den- mark have the proper co - opera- tion spirit, and by working together and carrying on their associations on a sound business basis, have solved the most of their marketing problems. Canadian farmers and especially Fraser Valley farmers by cooperating can solve a lot of their marketing problems and thus make the Fraser Valley the home of successful farmers.

The local police officer recovered a Star 6 touring car, stolen from Chas. Martin of Vancouver, this week-end. The machine was taken while parked on Main street, Vancouver on Sunday, and was found on the Yale road, just west of the Sikh temple, on Monday.

North Shore Obtaining Share Of Government Road Improvements Many improvements are to be noted in Mission during the past two months, among which are new garages, picture theatre and surfaced roads. A very heavy traffic crossed the bridge over the week-end, most of the motorists taking the new road through Nicomen Island to Harrison Hot Springs, others going east to Vancouver. The north shore appears to be a favored section with the provincial public works de- partment, judged by the amount of road improvements underway. A con- tract has just been let with the Fraser River Pile Driving Co. for a $23,000 bridge across the mouth of Stave river just east of Ruskin, and the main road has been surfaced through Mission to Hatzic. The Misses Wortman of Edmonton visited Miss Dorothy Gilmour on Mon- day, en route to Victoria. Mr. Wm. Tracey of Vancouver Fire Department visited the home of Mr. E. W. Foy, Poplar.

A motion was passed in which the members present agreed to sell all their grain through the Association, and a temporary agreement was drawn up and signed by those present. Mr. J. F. Cook and Mr. N. Hill ad- dressed the meeting, pointing out the urgency of co-operation amiong far- mers, the former pointing out that the Oriental already had a virtual mono- poly of the potato and vegetable in- dustry, and unless the whites got together they might just as well hand the farming industry as a whole over to their Asiatic competitors, Several matters were thoroughly dis- cussed, it being thought that this year’s grain crop should be marketed through the combined co-operative associations in the Fraser Valley.
