DEmocRRcy
Tho rccont presidential election renewed in all truo Americans, uhothor democrat or re
publican, a confidence in the .xjnerican uay of choosing loaders® Both major parties had
reason to believe that they could win until the lattor part of tho raco. Eon times'. in
history were sides so ovonly matched.
In some countries such a division of opinion would bo grounds for revolution. Undor
democratic control, however, wo knon that the majority rules and that our pooplo will
work in unity. Anothor refreshing fact is that minorities arc given a placo on tho
ballot and can draw as many votos as they have followers evon though it be a mere one
per cent.
Every true cooperative is a living oxamplo of democracy applied to business. Tho co
operative must always uork for the good of the membefship asawholc. Minorities must
bo heard, freedom of expression must bo given to all, then the question docidod by a
noil-inf ormed membership.
Our cooperative, like our country, may develop faults that ncod correcting. Tho only
logical approach is to analyzo the trouble, dovelop a plan to correct it, then by tho
proper democratic processes bring that plan into action. Changes made in this mannor
have the support of all. . •
If we arc to build a sound cooperative, no cannot afford to let rumors, joalousies or
personal differences obscuro the roal issues.

PROOF AT LAST
Tie are certainly glad to see that work is at last being done in the Laboratories to
determine the value of Alaskan gnpwn produce, home-grown and native. All too long
have we had to listen to the argument that Alaskan products lacked in Vitamins cSr
other important food elements. The only argument that we have had has been the fact
that the natives of Alaska seemed to do very well on Alaskan products before white man
brought dny from the States, Now with work being done by Bacteriologists to determine
food values, we can have statistical proof to back up our own products. By examining
the table on page six, you will note that many of the vegetables tested were well above
average on the amount of Vitamin C content.
