However, those who attended the sessions, and followed them through, realize that out of the controversy has come re- newed strength, vigor and energy. President James Ross A few words with James Ross, of Woodbridge, the new president of The United Farmers Co-operative Com- pany, Limited, is all that is required to show where he stands on the ques- tion of organization and cooperation. } The company is In safe hands with him as "directing head over a capable | mamber of the Board ag management. His rugged Scotch frame first tack-! led heavy work in the Woodbridge dis- | trict some forty years ago. He used his brain as well as his brawn, and for many years has been rated among his neighbors as a successful farmer. In 1926 Mr. Ross suffered serious physical injury when he inadvertentt: 1y tackled a railway train with an or- dinary automobile, and of course got the worst of it. He retired from ac- tive farming last-year and moved into a comfortable home in Woodbridge where he now eujoys his days, and! sometimes much of the night, work- ing for an*fmprovement in conditions | under which farmers of Ontario buy and sell. "Although I always found enough work on the farm to keep me busy," remarked Mr. Ross to the editor re- cently, "I took time to attend farmers' meetings. When the U.F.0. was first started .I joined one of the ploneer clubs--at Clalrville. It was later | amalgamated with the Woodbridge local. It always seemed to me that the business phase of farming called for most attention, but 1 realized that | it might be well to spend some tim: on local organization before a Pro- vinee-wide business organization could succeed." In this connection it might be well to point out that seven years ago a local co-operative company was or- ganized at Woodbridge with the ob- Ject of obtaining economies for the farmers of that neighborhood. Mr. Ross was chairman of the Provisional Board which took out the necessary charter, and he was alsc the first and only president up to the cloge of 1927, "when he resigned on account of the extra duties falling on him, on his ele- vation to the 'presidency of the Pro- vincial company. In spite of the fact that this local concern does not handle Hve stock. the turnover last year amounted to some $273,000.00, Grain, feed, coal and fencing make up this volume. ~ ffhis experience with the Wood- bridge local schooled Mr. Ross well for: taking a place on the Board of the Provincial Company to which he was elected in 1923, He was vice- pst sles for 1925, 1826, and 1937, and last December was elevated to the 3 y.

No Politics in Company. "How about politics?" Mr. Ross was asked. "The Company," he replied, "never took any part in politics. I have al- ways been opposed to allowing any political controversy to interferes with the company's business; I think every rees with me on this point. In fact, they have gone on record in confirming the attitude 'always taken since I first was elected, and I believe since the company was organized. Twe resolutions passed by the Board at their regular meeting of last December cover a few points that have been forced to the front dur- , Ing recent months, They do not indi- "cate any change of heart or right about-face on the part of the direct- ors, but simply re-afirm what has al- ways been true, "Here Is a copy 'of a resolution moved by R.
