During the meeting it was brought up that the cooperative's hauling system should be reviewed and special consideration should be given to large producers. The proposal says, in effect, that there is a need to consolidate routes and eliminate overlaps; a uniform stop charge should be levied; and discounts should be offered to producers who ship more than 3,000 pounds of milk per day. The proposal, although not formally acted upon at the meeting, received support and opposition. Officers were asked to study the matter and make their decision known at the annual meeting. It was noted that similar measures have been defeated in previous meetings because small producers outnumber large producers. The hauling business has apparently become so competitive, however, that Inter-State leaders fear their large shippers will be lost if and when other cooperatives offer cheaper hauling rates. When that happens, they warn, the small shippers will end up paying more because up until that point the large shippers had kept routes profitable. The idea is to offer large shippers a discount starting at one cent per hundredweight if they ship more than 3,000 pounds of milk per day but less than 5,001. The scale of discounts increases gradually until it reaches a peak of five cents for volumes exceeding 14,001 pounds of milk per day. In other actions taken at the meeting, an election of two new officers was held to fill the terms of two officials who went into other districts as a result of the reap portionment of Inter-State districts. Chosen as vice president of District 7 was Lester Hawthorne, while the post of secretary-treasurer went to Earl Stauffer. As a result of the reap portionment, Inter-State districts have approximately 150 members each, whereas before some had as few as 50 while others had 250. The changes were required to conform with legal requirements for bonafide cooperatives. The question was raised as to what would be done with the treasuries of those districts which find them selves affected by redistricting. Allocations will be proportioned ac cording to membership, the group was informed. Try A Classified Ad If Pays! 640 F +23F m -Vc <sft« ■■ V NAABV 7 — VV YcCrV I Semen I \ Supplier / 73
