Drop a pebble-in the water,*
And its ripples reach out far
The sunbeams following on

Though its seeds you may not

a bit confused and told his
mother what his teacher had
said. The mother promptly
agreed with the Bible School
teacher. He then looked up
and replied, "Maybe God does
help some, put you know,
daddy's switch sure does a

AND WE ARE SORRY...
i
The Consumer’s Committee wishes to apologize to their fellow con
-burner's for a mix-up in candidates for tne cooperative election, we had
nominated^ by petition, Ed wilson of Anchor Point* we did so in the
honest belief that* he was a member of the cooperative. In a discussion
between members of the Committee tne point Came up * that we had better
check his membership. On Sunday (after the editorial 4on page two had
been stenciled) two members of tne committee went to Anchor Point to
see Ed, We were-a day late in our thinking, he said, as he had realized
on Saturday that*he had failed to change the membership of his business,
and it was not in his.name. He said that he had been intending, to do
•it but just hadn’t gotten around to it oecause he had been busy cutting
"logs for the Anchor Point Community building, he said, in fact, that
the manager of the HEA had reminded nim about a month ago that ne
should change the membership.
This statement regarding the manager interested the Committee mem
bers very much.1* It meant that the manager must have known when the pe
tition was turned into the HEA office that Ed . Wilson was not a
—member 1 of the cooperative. It would be the manager’s job, we would
think, to check all candidates for membership before allowing , their
names' to be placed on the balloj) as was Ed Wilson’s. It is apparent
that the manager thought he would wait until the night of the meeting f
before announcing that Wilson was not eligible to oecome a director.* Or
perhaps ne thought he would wait, and if Wilson was elected, he would
suddenly ”discover” that he was not a member and the board could choose
a man of their own liking.
At any rate the mistake was discovered in time, and again the Com
mittee would like to apologize to the consumers.
While in Anchor Point the Committee members contacted Ben Barbee
and asked him to run for the office. Ben, honest man that he is, said
that he felt he should not-run because ne expected to be away for sever
al months after next September, and if elected ne would not be doing his
duty by the consumers.
in the belief that a third candidate should be chosen to complete
the slate, the Committee asked the editor of the Pioneer, Bill Haver,
to enter the race. It was felt that his views on the cooperative were
well known to most of the consumers anc; that his » knowledge gained
through attendance of many HEA meetings made him a good prospect for a
directorship.
It is hoped that next year Ed Wilson will consent to run again.
We feel sure that he would be a valuable man to have on the board* We
urge your support of Bill Haver along with the other two candidates,
Wayne bishop and Jim Calkins*
