The financial reports read to the
members of the M.V.P.C.A. last Tues.
would have been interesting to the
people who tried so hard to prevent
the Farmers of the Valley from takA•
ing over the Co-op. in 1939. There
isnt much of a chance to break the
Association from outside sources but
it could be bankrupted from disunity
within,or mismanagement by a selfish
clique working to fill their own
pockets at the expense of the whole
membership. This dosent seem likely
either,so it looks like the enemies
of the Co-op. will have to eat some
of those fat Matanuska.valloy"Crows”
The subject of "chiseling" was
soft-pedaled after a heartrending
plea from a brother, who was not so
softhearted while he was on the Boar
his plea for mercy for the un-cenver
ted sinners who haven't seen the’
lifcht yet, was very touching, and
must have touched the hearts of the
congreatien, for his plea recieved'
their blessing.
While it is not encouraged,usualy,
we can not feel but that the five
new members on the Board will be all
tc the Oood as far as the Co-op. is
concerned. True they will not have
as much understandinc or expierence
as older members, but the contact
with the business will 0ive them a
^cod workin0 knowledge soon, and if
they ask questions they can soon
learn what it is all about.
Lespite the favorable position of
the Association at the present time,
we must be vigilant and take an
interest in the affairs of the Asso
ciation in the -future so that it wil
continue to be successful, remember
the old sayinc, that " TFE TRICE OF
LIEERTY IS ETERNAL VIGALANCE" and we
have enemies' and selfish interests
who would like to currupt or disrupt
our rr^lnization.
VALLEY' ITES LEND HAND.
One of our hardworking Valley
Farmer's Is 0cin0 through one of the
times in a persons life when a little
