CO-OPERATIVE LOYALTY
A special meeting was called for the purpose of discussing some pressing problems l
confronting the Association and also to hear a report from Mr. Anyn, out Accountant
and Assistant Manager, on a proposed working plan, whereby a quarterly cheek can be
made on operations. About 50 voting members and a few probational mombors took an
active interest in the problems as set forth on a mimeographed sheet which had pre
viously been compiled from reports made by the Departmental Committoos of tho Board,
Several membors were heard to remark that this was tho bost mooting 'V. tho Associa
tion had held in a long time. Why? Becauso the members took so much intorost in the
problems discussod and because they wore givon information which helpod thorn to dis
cuss the problems of the Association intolligontly. They bccamo a part of tho Associ
ation to tho'extent that the problems became theirs and not just thoso of tho Board
of Directors. ’ J
It is to bo regretted that morc-'of tho members wero not present, Mich of i;ho in
formation given the members at thoso meetings is for membors'only and cannot bo cir
culated oven in your Co-op paper. Members who do not attend, thoroforo miss-out on
many things they should know. In many cusos theso samo'members bocomo fortilo ground
for rumors which unscrupulous porson-iset in circulation. You,as membors,owe it to
your co-op and Board of Directors to know the'correct situation of tho affaiss of your'
business so that you can support it intolligontly. No Co-opcrativo Association cxpocts
blind loyalty. ' m . ..
There is one other thing you can do, if you cannot attend meetings and that is-*-Ch6ck
with a reliable source before you accept any damaging information passed on to you.
"I will keep mysolf informed on the affairs, problbms and methods of my eooperativo
so as to bo an intelligent and constructive member,”
