Farmer's Co -Operative
Hold Annual Meeting
•
•
Directors and Officers All Re -
Elected --Patronage Dividend
of $1000 Declared -
The annual meeting of Seaforth
Farmers' Co-operative was held in
the Library hall, Seaforth, on Satur-
day -afternoon, Feb. 26, with a good
attendance of members and others in-
terested. The president 08 the Co-
operative, R.S. McKerche•, occupied
the chair and Prank. Reynolds, seeret-
any, recorded the minutes.
An outline of the year's business
was given by the President, who also
told of changes and repairs that were
made at the plant owned by the Co.
operative. A new, electric motor was
installed in the chopping mill during
the year, which greatly increased the
efficiency and economy of operation.
A. naw shed for teams and an office
were also added in the late Fall. At
the beginning of the year there two
full time employees, while at present
there are foul', with considerable day
labor on busy clays. Over 60 carloads
of Western grain were - handled during
the year, as well as a large quantity
of other merchandise, which service
was greatly appreciated by members
and customers, especially so, because
of the short crop of.feed grains in the
district in 1943.
At the close of this remarks the
President declared e patronage. divid-
endof two per cent to members. This
means returning to the members over
31,000 of profit's Made during the year
and it is to be credited to the pur-
chase of the second loan mat as was
the plan at the organization of the co-
operative. The annual statement was
presented and unanimously approved.
It showed a total of over $99,000
worth of business clone, with an in-
crease in surplus of 38,363.86, making
a total surplus of 30,361.66.
The result of the ballot was that
the directors for 1943, were re-elected
for the 1944 terns.
They are as follows: E. B. Gentile,
T. W. McMillan,. James McIntosh,
Robert Tyndall, Harry Palin, Frank
Reynolds and R. S. McKercher. At a
meeting of directors following the
general meeting the following officers
were re-elected: President, R. S. Mc-
Kercher, vice president, E. B. Goudie,
secretary, Frank Reynolds.
T. W. McMillan gave a short talk
on credit unions, which gave rise to
much discussion. It was decided to
hold a ]meeting to discuss the forma-
tion of a. credit union in the district
and have some well-informed speaker
present to explain the set up of such
organizations.cd
The atfenahce at the meeting and
the lively discussion would lead one
to believe that the district farmers
are interested in co-operative prin-
ciples and appreciate greatly the
services they have given themselves
tough well well planned organization.
