Annual Meeting
of Co-operative
Held at Telkwa

The Northern Interior Co oper-
ative Association have started out

on another year with a little}

brighter prospects than they haye
faced at the first of any year since
the first organization, As with
all such organizations there are
hills to climb, and each year, thus
far, the management, has gotten
over the rough spots. On Satur-
day afternoon last a fair number
of farmers gathered in the town

_{ hall at Telkwa to hear the annual

report of their association and to
eleet anew board of directors,
and also to decide upon the policy
for the ensuing year,

President F. M. Dockrill oceu- |

pied the chair and Secretary Geo.
M. Murray read the minutes of
the last meeting, held in Houston
in July. The president algo read
the auditor’s statement for the
past year, which, while not par-
particularly gratifying, showed
4} that the adoption of a more econ-
omical policy was bearing fruit,
The last six months of the year
wis an even break, while the last
three months showed a small
profit, This latter feature was

really the.cause.of a jater decision.
to carry on’ and follow the same

policy of economy. .

The president, in making his
report, made a plea to the share-
holders to extend greater loyalty
te their asso¢iation. © He- ‘pointed
out that the only hope of success
was-for the members to stay by
the association and give them ail
the support possible.

There were a number present
who would not have objected had
it been decided to disband the
association, but when the question
was put to them direct. they had
to admit that the farmers badly
needed an association of some
kind and that if this one were
disbanded another would be start-
ed. The producers, however,
refused to support a motion to
increase the commission allowed
the association from five per cent
to ten per cent. The amount of
commission paid by the producers
has always been a bone of eon-
tention’ between them and the
management, the latter maintain-
ing that business cannot be car-
ried on on a five per cent basis,
and the annual reports for sever-
al years have proven their con-
tention. —

The officers for the year were
elected as follows: President, F.
M. Doekrill, Telkwa: Vice-Presi-
dent. Har: ry Davis. Houston;

Directors, A. Shelford, the Lakes
District; Richard: M, Carroll, Pal-
ling: Frank Madigan ‘and Neil
