We keep hearing rumors that some-
thing great is going to happen in
Cooper. Whatever this “great something” is that will
be beneficial to not only Cooper but all of Delta
County, seems to be one of the best kept secrets of
our time. Maybe it will be similar t
“great” things that have
all the other
........0_ __________ _ome our way, or is it the
new business venture being established on South West
First Street.
It’s our understanding that this particular business
enterprise is being started by one Grover Henderson
Pickering at 1121 South West First Street, (home of
his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs Odis Williamson).
Grover Henderson is going into this venture having
understood from someone that he could possibly get a
Small Business Loan for his deluxe "Lemonade Stand ”
According to the proprietor the stand will be the best
to be had, and could possibly be the only one with
marble counter if he can entice his father, Grover
Quentin Pickering and grandfather Grover D. Picker-
ing into providing such.
♦ ❖ ❖ ♦ ♦
Trio Manufacturing Company opened their plant
in Cooper Monday morning v ith ten production work-
ers and an order for 1121 sport coats.
The sound of machinery going at capacity out put,
especially in a new industry, could be called “music
to the ear”. For a community that had only one
industry, a new plant such as Trio Sportswear lifts
the spirits of business people and residents.
We welcome the Seidel fanrly and their Trio
Company to Cooper and Delta County and wish them
every success.
An American manufacturer was taking a Soviet
commissar cn a tour of his plant. Suddenly, the noon
whistle blew and thousands of men streamed out of the
plant for lunch.
The visitor was aghast "They’re all escaping! ’ he

The whistle blew again at 1 o'clock and all the men

Ye
rica's preoccupation
with things like the en-
vironment manifold social
programs and other prob-
lems and events of the
day, such as Watergate,
seems to have obscured
those things that, in the
end, can spell life or death
to nations and civil-
izations. Rear Admiral
Ernest McNeill Eller, for-
mer Director of the Naval
History Division of the U.
S. Navy is among those
who have demonstrated a
capacity to hold fast to an
understanding of the pre-
requisites of U. S. surviv-
al in an essentially hostile
world.
Drawing on his exper-
ience as Naval historian.
Admiral Eller, writing in
the magazine, “Sea Pow-
er,” notes that in the past
when appropriations for
defense have fallen below
a certain level, aggress-
ion has followed. Current-
ly, the U. S. is attempt-
ing to negotiate treaty
arrangements with com-
munist countries at a time
of relative decline in mili-
tary strength, particularly
with respect to sea power.
He says, “Today, for the
third time in one wracked
generation, the U. S. is
repeating the same mis-
takes of the recent past.
With the Sov’iet Union
driving to dominate the
sea, the nation is spending
less than 10 percent of
the national budget for
security afloat - this was
the level of disaster in the
Past .... In shipyards,
oceanography, R&D (re-
search and development),
merchant marine ship-
ping, fishing fleets, and
training of seamen, the
Soviets . . . have drawn
far ahead .... why have
those who control this
nation’s destiny not seem-
ed to learn, as apparently
Kremlin leaders have
learned, that the nation
that controls the seas con-
trols the course of civil-
ization?”
As an able historian.
Admiral Eller knows the
fate of nations that dis-
regard the caveat that
only the strong remain
free. His views are shared
by countless maritime and
business leaders in all
walks of life. These are
views that the public can
ill afford to disregard.
