HIGHLAND COMPATRIOTS OF BUON ALE A, BAN ME THUOT, FORM A WEAVING COOPERATIVE

To help the highland compatriots in Darlac become familiar with and fond of the practical benefits brought by working together in a trade, the Darlac Cooperative Office has just encouraged the founding of a weaving cooperative at Buon Ale A in Ban Me Thuot district.
The founding committee was set up 2 months ago, with Mr. Y-Bram-Eban as head and Mr. Y-Chon-Mlo Duon Du as adviser, and after 2 months of work has enrolled 62 members, highland compatriots making their living at Buon Ale A, Ban Me Thuot. Each share is worth 100 piastres. This is the first small-industry cooperative of the highland compatriots founded in Darlac.
