Chairman of the Board

emphasized that a high
priorty with the Board is to
have Barry selecting people

qualified to take over should

structure self - generating,
and added that his three
vice-presidents are fo the
caliber to be potential
candidates for the job of
president He said, “They
too are to develop candidates
for their position. We want to
have young people see the
potential of working their
way to the top.”
Ruth encouraged mem
bers to call their directors or
himself to get first hand
information instead of
relying on rumors which
often abound. He called the
local meeting “the most
important of the year
because members are on the
same level with
management and directors.
We want to have every
question answered if we
can,”

field operations, had to
deliver some bad news,
saying that on April 1 a milk
house stop cahrge of $l.OO

membership in this area is
hauled by the cooperative,
overall it is just 40 per cent.

said, “We’ve made a lot of
progress. Everything that
has been done to solve our
problems has been done for
the future - they are not just
stop - gap measures. It gives
me conficence we can solve
our problems.”
John Kreider, local
director, said his work with
the board has been “real
interesting. It is a real
education. The board
members are putting
themselves into it and all
take it seriously. He praised
Barry saying, “He’s trained
for the job and is doing his
best.”
Extension County Agent
M.M. Smith congratulated
the co-op, saying, “The
strengh of any cooperative is
working together.” He in
vited dairymen to attend the
Penn State Dairy Day on
April 6 and the County
Manure Storage Tour on
March 29. He said agronomy

or livestock can get to
them’” He reminded
