Full particulars from any agent eaMadim&aci§i^ Co-operative News In Decemiber 1844, a little over ICO years ago, in the city of Roch- dale, England, the first Co-op. store was started by the feictory workers of that ci'ty in a desperate effort to better their conditions. These Roch- dale pioneers were men of intelli- gence and forsight. and the rules which they adopted are known today as the Rochdale Principles of Coop- eration, and are recognized every- where as being fundamentally sound- Some of the principles are as follows: 1. Memibership is open to, all who can make use of the services of the Co-op., and each member shall have only one vote. 2. Pay only a low rate of interest on Capital loaned to the Co-op. 3- All surpluses left after paying eoslis of operation, are distributed among the members on the basis of their patronage. This is simply a re- fund of over-charges, and such re- funds ibelong to tire patrons- This is why trhe excess profits tax does not and should not, laipply to Co-operat- ives According to preisent tax regulat- ions, an organization must do at least 83% of its business with mem- bers in order to qualify as a Co-op. Life membership tickets in the local Co-op- can be obtained from the managf'ment.

The meeting appreciated the lift- ing of the price ceiling as it helped the feeder of good cattle but warned farmers not to expect prices to hold up on heavy runs of unfinished cattle. The grading of Beef, before and after slaughtering, was freely discusfeed and the concensus of opin- ion was that many farmers did not unaerstand what constituted red and blue brand beeif and too often the consumers did not get the quality they paid for- The meeting accepted the offer of the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture and the W. T- P. B., "sent by wire' ; for a representative from them to meet Avith reipresentatfives of the Beef Producers of Grey and Bruce to discusb the Beef Market situat- ion. This meeting is to be held in the near future. They also passed a res- oluton asking t'hat the Ontario Beef Producers be organized on the same basis as the iHog Producers and a marketing' scheme be prepared' at once. \A resolution passed by Grey County Agric. Committee asking that the present elimination of price ceiling on red and blue brand beet be extended to July 1947 and a Royal Commission be appointed to investigate the cost of producing red and blue brand beef wafe discussed and endorsed. Also a resolution was passed commending the service rend- ered by the Owen Sound abbatoirs and asking that an inspector and grader be appointed by the Gov't. for all like abbatoirs renderiTig e- c|ually good service. A resolution of appreciation to the members of the different Agricul- tural Commitfees and the Federat- ions of Grey and Bruce Counties, for the strenuous fight they put up for more parity prices and to the Gov's. for reeogTiizing their effort and eate- 'ng the situation by lifting the price ceiling temporality was passed. The meeting conicluded by asking all townships to form a township Beef Prooucers organization with at leas* a chairman «nd four directors. The chairman to represent the township rn the county board to meet im- mediately to choose the county of- ficers. Sunday School Convention .

Another Fish Story Another true fifeh story comes to light this week when Ted Newell snagged a large speckled trout that weighed 1 pound and 14 ounces, and was lS^/2 inches long.

He landed him on the Vacation Schools â€" Miss Kate ^^^^^ ^^ ^^ dropped off the hook and for a few moments it appeared as though Mr- Trout would regain his froedomt but it made several tasty meals for Ted and his mother.
