77e believe that the Co-op will survive the
stern, but we have a momentous decision to
make—and it is up to the people to make
that decision. The people have never let
the Board of Directors down thus far in its
history, and let’s not let it'happen now,
let’s work for a united Co-op, and that
means that wo must have a united membership
also.
If it is necessary to remove contentious,
narrow-minded members who are trying to
further their own selfish interests at the
expense of the members as a whole; then
lct’-s do it. There are provisions for
this action and we cannot wait until the
Co-op is down and out before we move in
this direction. There is nothing in the
Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws
to provide for special favors for those
who have been more greedy and successful
financially than the average member. All
members should be treated with equal
rights and courtesy.
Let us adhere to the spirit and the me ant
ing of the By-Laws and try to fulfill our
obligations to those who have been friend
ly and cooperative, liost successful co-ops
are composed of members of modest and
limited means. Then the individual member
becomes too prosperous, he usually becomes
greedy and selfish and this doesn’t work
fortne benefit of the Co-op. This member
doesn't nedd the help of the less success
ful members and i>s better but of the organ
isation. Co-ops arc only useful to those
who need them.
O 'i
So in conclusion, the v;fitcr feels that to
have a successful Co-op, that is for the
average member, that ve must keep the dif
ferent ur.it s of the organization intact to
help one another, until something'.better
is provided for at least. The Board of
Directors should be supported until it can
be -roven that they are wrong, They should
not have to spend the tine that is needed
for the transaction of business in useless
argument v-ith members who have axes to
grind. The Manager is entitled to a reason
able amount of.time, to aquaint himself v;ith
the duties of his office. 'The members
should support the Board and the I.imager
until definite"knowledge is available that
they are wrong.
But it in v/riting when you wish to criti
cize. . ;
Respectfully yours, .
Carl R. Rasmussen.'
