Thursday evening, Feb, 9, an
information meeting on "Fame"
(Farmer's Allied Meat Enterpris-
es) was held in the •Agricultural
Board Rooms, Clinton. Compara-
tively, it was well attended and
was particularly suocessfull, Hoyt -
ever in the light of the number
of livestock producers in Huron
County and the importance of
this enterprise to their income
there isn't a meeting plane avail-
able in the county large enough
to hold- the numbers that should
have been out.
As a result it was suggested
that I try to give some of the
more basic facts about this pro-
ject in this column.
'Fame" is a Co -Operative form-
ed for the' -purpose of slaughter-
ing, processing, packaging ' and
wholesaling farm livestock, (at
present, at Ieaat, there has been
no interest shown in retailing),
The Co -Operative Charter was
taken out in Sept. 1960 listing a
Board of Directors and all the
shareholders. This Board of Dir-
ectors, which was at first made
up of the 11 man Board of Direc-
tors of the Hog Producers Associ-
ation,
ssociation, is only a ,provisional Board
and Is only in power until a
meeting of all members of the
Co -Operative can be organized.
This meeting must be called be-
fore March 31st.
To have member voting privil-
eges at this meeting the member
must own one or more paid up
shares. Each member will have
only one vote regardless of the
number of shares purchased.
A share sales campaign is pre-
sently being'conducted and a ,can
vasser will be calling, on you
shortly. And just a word of warn-
ing,
arning, just in case some fast oper-
ator should decide to take advan-
tage ofthesituation, ask the can-
vasser for his credentials unless
you know him ,personally, The
minimum objective is 2 million
dollars.
The money so raised will build
two reasonably large processing
plants.
