Another year of record sales,
and plans for expansion were
reported at the annual meeting of
the United Co-operatives of
Ontario)Belgrave Branch on 'Fri-
day night.
Manager. Murray Lougheed
reported an increase in business
by more than $500,000 in the past
year from $860,000 to 1,376,000
in 1974. Part of the increase, he
said, was due to inflation but a
good deal of it was because "the
patrons of Belgrave are using
their Co-op". He said that
Belgrave is growing about
as fas as any branch in the U.C.O.
system. It will have to continue to
grow in the coming years, he
said.
Plans are also underway, it was
announced, for a new warehouse
and store complex for the Bel-
grave Co-op. The new building
will be built in stages on the
present site.
Mr. Lougheed said that the
present facilities are just too
small to continue doing the kind
of business that is presently being
done.
Mr. Lougheed revealed the
growth figures for the various
departments of the operation.
Fertilizer sales were 299,100
Compared to 177,600 in 1971
Feed sales were '596,000 com-
pared to $348,000 in 1971
Petroleum sales were up to
$190,000 compared to a year ago.
Store sales had increased . to
$105,000 compared to $79,000 the
Year earlier.
Seed sales reached $64,000
Compared to $35,000 in 1971.
Farm supplies reached $73,000 in
Comparison with $31,500 in 1973.
Chemical were $47,000 in 1974
and $17,000 in 1971
The net for the year was
$38,300 as compared to $16,300 in
1973.
Robert McKercher of Dublin,
area director for U.C,0. corigra,
tulated the Belgrave triettiberg on
their fine year and reported that
U.C ,O. had also had an amazing
Year of growth with a 35 per cent
growth overall and an eight to
nine per cent real growth rate.
Because of the good year, he
said, four million dollars in
patronage will be returned to
members at a rate of three and
three-quarters per cent on retail
supply sales to direct members.
Peter Chandler, Richard Moore
and Maurice Hallahan were
elected as councillors for the next
two years.
Representatives of U.C.O. out-
lined some of the prospects for
the next year as far as supply and
prices went.
Anti-freeze will continue to be
tight in supply, it was reported,
but U.C.O. managed to hold a
price of $6.75, this year as
compared to $10-$12 elsewhere.
The fencing outlook will be much
the same as last year with
allocations necessary. In twin e
the price won't be good but it
looks line U.C.O. should have an
adequate supply selling at at least
$31.95.
Seed corn is now already sold
out for the western region with 15
per cent more sales than last year
and a shorter supply in the first
place. All Co-op corn is number
one grade, the spokesman
reported.
In fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer
will be the roughtest area, he
reported but the supply appears
to be getting nearly as good as
last year'. The phosphorus supply
looks good with slightly more
than last year. Potash supplies
are about equal to last year. But
there could be shipping prob-
lems.
He warned that there is a
definite trend to higher costs with
higher latiOnt, and freight posts,
He promised tie U,C.O. Will not,
however, use price as a basis for
allocation 'but will use former
patronage to determine allocation
for any short supplied items.

NOT TOO SURE — Santa was happy to see h is little
visitor at the Legion after the Santa Clausparade on
Saturday but the little boy in the centre seems to be
hesitating before he tells what he wants for
Christmas. Santa's clown companion and his two
helpers are at right. (:Photo by Pat Langlois)
