LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Cent. from pp, 2
T'.o Co-op members oloct a Board of ]Diroc
tors to'run their business for then-and
any tine that they are dissatisfiod, thoy
oan recall thorn and replaco than vith
others nhom'they think aro better. If a
Co-op fails, nine times out of ten, it is
the members vdio arc to blano, but at least
thoy do have the right to make changes.
In comparison, the .Alaska Rural Rehabili
tation Corporation has its'Directors ap
pointed by politicians in Washington D.C.
They cannot be removed by the very pcoplo
thoy arc supposod to servo. Thou thoy aro
given out-right grants of funds for their
financial operations. No audit is nado
public or to the pcoplo rfco arc interested
In the operations of the ARRC. Sonoono in
Washington may examine the Auditor* 3 ro
ports—ro don’t knor rhothor thoy do or not
Tho Co-op had to horror funds to purchaso
the facilities it now has, has to pay in
torost to tho govomnont, and on audit of
its books is required each year rhich any
mombor con inspoet.
In order that the people of tho llatnnuska
Valley may le am rho is running the ARRC,
I mould like to state that Governor Gruon
ing is one of the Directors; Col, Oilson
is another in tho capacity of VicciRr’osi
dontj Hr. Janes P. Devia rho is an under
secretary of the Interior Department in
Washington D.C. is President; Mr. Warron
Cuddy, mho is President of tho Pirst Nation
al Bank in Anchorage, is Secretary; In.
Georgo Hanford, Cashier of tho Bunk of
Alaska; Hr. Pd I'cSlligott, business nan of
Anchorage; Jack Cope, Ann id Johnson and
li ds Johansen arc the three fai’ner nor.bcf3
from the Valley.
It appears to tho '.Titer that rhat thcco
non rant is to have the Firm Hone Aanlnis
tration foreclose on the Co-op and put
than' ir. chargo as the iiRRC Board ras in
1939. The present Co-op Board "ould bo
puppots under the Super Beard of Directors
of tho /RRC, If this isn’t n full stop
backrard, then you nano it. Dc you people
of the Hatahu3ka Valley think that theso
politicians, bar.lcors and famers could or
rould nanago the Co-op any better than thoj
did before? Mr. C*’", Peters, the present
General liana go r of the AHRC, - ould bo tho
boss undor tho BRHC Board if this is accon-^
plishod. Col Ohlson tried to get tho Co
op Board to hire Mr, Peters a short tifio
ago and thoy rero not rilling to do so.
Car it be that he is nor trying to forco
the Co-op to accept Hr. Peters?
Think this over and let’s see rhat re can
do about it, Rcranbor that tho Co-op is
incorporated undor the lurs of Blaska and
that any action that is taker, t oulc'. have
to be takan through tho courts. So don’t
lot any ono tell you that the Co-op is
going to be taken over by anyone, unless
OR. F. R. sims
