At last the time has arrived'

to operate and manage its own
departments for the benefit of
its members. The ARRC which in
the past have acted as agent in
all matters of administration
has transferred throe depart
ments to the Co-op management.
It will only ;o a matter of time
until every department is under
complete Co-op administration
as it was planned in the first
place. If has boon announced
repeatedly, to' have patience
and prepare for the responsibil
ity involved by such a change.
Impatience for propress has
caused untold dissatisfaction,
but impatience and ambition fb r
improvement arc qualities to be
admired, when under control.
The man without vision for the
future lacks ambition to make a
struggle which will make his
dreams come true.
Don’t for one instant assume
that all struggle can cease and
our Co-op machinery will run
automatically. It will not.
We have a hoard of Directors,
which have proven themselves
equal to any and all occasions
which arise concerning the wel
fare of our interests. .Support
them.
We hove a Co-op manager with all
the necessary qualifications for
administration and leadership.
Take his advice.
We have a membership list who's
Enthusiasm and determination

We have a silent partner who’s
financial power is desirable and
necessary. Cultivate his friend
ship. Don’t forget your obliga
tions, the future depends on you.
