DROP IN TONIGHT
The
Letterbox
In regard to an article ap
pearing in the Nov. 28 issue of
the Valley Settler, it is made to
appear that the dairymen who
brought suit against the Co-op
have committed a very bad
blunder. It also has been made
to appear in past months that
they have no other interest but
to break up the Co-op.
Now let’s go back to the time
before this suit was started.
You who attended the Dairy
men’s meetings at that time re
member what the facts really
are.
Namely, that although the
manager and Co-op board at
that time did not feel that they
could undertake to assume the
responsibility of making these
payments, due to the financial
condition of the Co-op, without
a judge’s lawful decision, a
final and just decision was bad
ly needed.
The Dairymen, realizing this,
decided to bring suit, not in an
attempt to break the Co-op or
because they did not understand
what they were doing, but to
bring their problem into the
hands of competent men, who
could render a decision that
could not be honestly challenged
by anyone.
In this article referred to, it
is asked, “Why wasn’t the board
of directors sued instead?” Why
sue the board of directors? In
the first place, the Dairymen
realized they had made a de
cision that was quite just from
everyone’s point of view In the !
second place, why sue a few
farmers, who are no better off,
than the rest of us farmers here j
in the Valley? So it was decided
that by suing the Co-op we
would all share the expense of
this decision which was so ur
gently needed.
In this article referred to, it
was pointed out that “it stands j1
to reason that the part of the
Association that made the :
money” would be standing the 1
expense of this trial, in other
words the ones who sued. This
is very true So, instead of
making the Dairymen appear in
a bad light, let us all give a big
hand to the men who worked
so diligently on these problems
of ours—Mr. Grigsby, Mr. Davis
and Judge Dimond. lets remem
ber that although their services
might cost us a little money, it
is a very reasonable price to pay
for solving a problem that would
have bothered all of us inde
finitely.
I would like to hear opinions
on these, and other problems of
the Co-op, from farmers who are
engaged in making their living
from their farms.
We have so many people in
our organization now, who, al
though they could not be classed
as true farmers, are voicing their
opinions and doing all they can

Girl Scouts Carol
By Lanternlight
Girl Scouts of International
Troop 11 added to the Christmas
spirit in the Valley last week,
when the carolled through
Palmer by the light of lanterns
they designed themselves. Mrs. |
Timothy Hennessey and Mary
Ann Michalek, a student of Mrs. .
Hennessey’s, led the singing for
the Scouts.
After the carolling ended at
6:30, Girl Scouts returned to the
school lunchroom where the
troop committee had prepared
a party and refreshments. Com
mittee members who helped with
the plans included Mrs. Margaret
Cope, chairman, Mrs. Guy
Warnica, Mrs. Bill Roark and
Mrs. Don Boulter.
to put their ideas over.
We as farmers are not inter
ested in the opinion of men who
cannot or will not try to make
their living solely from their
farms. These people’s views can
riot be bona fide farmer’s views,
rhese people’s ideas cannot help
an organization which is oper
ating for the sole purpose of
aelping the farmers.
We are undergoing at this
ame some big changes in our
arganization. Now is a good
;ime to hear from some of the
sound thinking farmers, who are
nterested in the well-being of
aur organization, and who are
nterested in seeing our Co-op
'unction strictly as a farmers’
^o-op in every sense of its name.
Sincerely,
Ernie Harrington
