Better Communications Urged
“There is an urgent need for
better and freer communications
among our membership,”
asserted Boyd C. Gartley,
director of member and public
relation, Inter-State Milk
Producers’ Cooperative.
“If our members are no dif
ferently informed than those who
are outside of our cooperative
boundry, then it is time we build
‘feeder pens’ to aid our mem
bership in cooperative
knowledge.”
Gartley told the dairymen from
a four-state area last week that
newer ‘feeder pens’ are
necessary to keep each dairyman
up-to-date on current information
and prlbems so the member can
make an intelligent decision.
The communicator discussed
with dairymen such programs as
Young Cooperators information
conferences, youth training
sessions, member and director
technical information
discussions, and kitchen
seminars as examples of ‘feeder
pens’ for growth of dairy far
mers
“In a practical sense,” Gartley
continued, “public relations are
exposed through the actions of
employees and members, the
appearance of facilities, the
quality of our product and ser
vices, and the cooperative’s
participation in community af
fairs If you can honestly declare
top performance in these areas,
then you are probably ‘tuned-in’
to nublic sentiment
“Doing a job in the best way
possible is not enough You must
tell people about it,” Gartley
declared “While there is no
place for drum beating and
medicine show tactics m the
