CREDIT UNIONS Key Members of 13 Federa- ; tion Locals in Fight on Usury Here. Key members of the 13 locals of the National Federation of Federal Em- wyes will meet tonight at 710 Four- nth street to hear Roy F. Bergen- gren. secretary of the Credit Union Na- n Extension Burcau, speak on the advisability of Government workers set- fi!‘ up credit unions for their mutual Protection and to combat usurious rates. Bergengren's address will deal pa ticularly with the provisions of the re- cent act of Congress, introduced by Chairman Capper of the Senate Dis- trict Committee, authorizing the forma- tion and_incorporation of credit unions in the District of Columbia. Credit unions, through which Fed- eral employes may borrow money at an interest rate of 1 per cent per month, already have been set up_ by Treasury Department Local No. 262, while several other locals have indicated interest in organizing similar lending agencies, notably War Department N 261, Bureau of Engraling and Print- ing Women's Local No. 105, Depart- ment Local No. 2, War Department, Adjutant General's Office No. 372; De- rtment Local No. 71, Navy Yard No. 50, Bureau of Standards No. 260. At a meeting last Tuesday, J. A. Griffiths, president of the City Post Of- fice Credit Union, urged the General Accounting Office’ branch of Depart- ment Local No. 2 to organize a credit union. The branch, thereupon, ap- pointed James H. Solt of the Post Of- fice division of the General Accounting Office_as chairman and authorized a committee to incorporate a credit union. HOME BANK MEMBERSHIP HELD BADGE OF HONOR Massachusetts Co-operative Bank League Convention Hears Two of System. By the Associated Press. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., September 23. —Morton Bodfish told the Massachu- eetts Co-operative Bank League yester- day that membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank system was a “badge of honor” for any co-operative bank or building and loan association. Bodfish, a member of the Home Loan | Board, and Chairman Franklin W. Fort addressed the league at its annual convention. The law creating the system, Bodfish said, was “the most perfect mechanism on which any reserve struction has ever been builded.” Bodfish was executive manager of the United States Building & Loan League until his appointment by President Hoover to the Home Loan Board. He urged that all Massachusetts in- stitutions take immediate advantage of the new system in District 1, compris- | ing the New England States, with the bank located at Cambridge. “Building and loan associations and their counterpart in your State’s co- operative banks, will form the major membership of this institution,” Bod- fish said. “Its success is up to them. | Immediate participation by your co- operative banks will bring the benefits of these reserve funds to your com- munities, in the refinancing of sound mortgage obligations, in loans for modernization and repairs, and in the new home construction which is actu- ally needed.” Kwangsi Province, China, is now prac- tically free from banditry District’s Heroes in the World War Complied by Sergt. L. E. Jacckel 8 recorded in the official citation, John H. Parker, then colonel, 102d Infantry, 26th Division, American Expeditionary Force, was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and three bronze Oak Leaf Clusters for extraordinary heroism i action with the enemy: (1) At e April 20, the engage- ment at Seicheprey 23 inspect his lines. Repeatedly he climbed upon the firing step of the trench and, stand- ing there with his Back toward the enemy and with shell splinters fall- # ing about him, he talked to his men in such cool, calm | brace them up, so that when he left | they were in & cheerful state of mind and in better condition to ward against attack. (2) Near Trugny, France, July 21, 1918, Col. Parker made & per- sonal reconnaissance over a front of about 2 kilometers, on horséback, in | the face of enemy fire from all arms, |and determined the strength of the | German forces to insure the most ad- vantageous approach for his troops to attack. Several times he was an inspir- ing figure to his men under a heavy ar- tillery barrage and concentration of | machine gun fire. (3) On the road through Le Fere Wood, between Beu- vardes and Le Charmel, France, July 25, | 1918, a battalion just coming into_the | line 'was halted, awaiting orders. Sub- | jected suddenly to an intense artillery concentration, the men, who had only | such cover as was afforded by the shal- ow ditches along the road, were thrown into some confusion. At that moment | Col. Parker came down the road on horscback. Immediately appreciating | the situation, he twice rode down the |line and back again at a slow walk, stopping here and there to talk with the men; and thus, by his fearless per- sonal exposure to and disregard of dan- | ger he promptly steadled the troops and | prevented disorder at an important | juncture. (4) Near Gesnes, France, September 29, 1918, during the attack on the village of Gesnes, he displayed great gallantry and fearlessness in |leading and directing his front lne with utter disregard for personal safe- ty and urged his men forward by his | personal example, all under heavy ma- | chine gun, high explosive, gas shell and shrapnel fire. He was abreast of his | front line until he fell, twice wounded, | but thereafter remained in active com- I mand for a period of five hours, when he was relieved by the lieutenant col- | onel of his regiment. With the rank of major, he resides at 2100 Nineteenth street northwest, Washington, D. C.
