Annual Meeting Morell Consumersi Co-operative

New Picturelhoatre For Murray llivor

A roomy new moving picture theatre will be built in Murray River this summer. .

The decision to build it indicates the growth. spirit. and prosperity of the twin communities of Mur- ray River and Murray Harbour, and the surrounding districts. Like the new rink erected a. few years ago in Murray Harbour, it will be a centre of 'community entertain- ment and with an appeal to even a larger proportion of the people of the two districts.

The theatre will be constructed on land near the garage a.ndshow- rooms of Mr. E. K. Johnson. and Mr. Johnson will be one of the chief promoters of the project.

Within the past. few years a number of new homes have been built in this part of Kings County, and several fine new business as- tablishments. and progress has been made in road improvement.

Last. year an experimental paved highway was completed between Murray River and Murray Harbor. and people in these busy villages are now hopeful that very soon a paved road by way of High Bank and Little Sands will connect their communities with the Wood is- lancls ferry terminal.

Work on the moving picture theatre will weather conditions permit.

The annual meeting of the'Mot- ell Oansumers' Oo-operative Assoc iation was held in Morell Hell last Wednesday night. with the Proof- dent of the organization, Mr. Joe- eph Wa.i.sh,.in the chair.

The items of interest in the Pres- ident's report which were discuss- ed by the lugs meeting including the decision. during the past year, to work with the people of Tree- adie in operating a branch store.

The branch store idea holds forth promise of enabling the organiza- tlon to operate with increased vol- ume. to do the book-keeping and most of the work incident to pur- chasing supplies since they are al- ready equipped to do so. At the same time the people in the Trac- adle area can avail themselv... of the services and benefits of a Go- operative that is already well-es- tablished. 0

The report also showed that the plumbing department, under the supervision of Mr. Byron Webster. who is now the general manager since the continued illness of Mr. Frank Dunn, is a rapidly expanding and very successful one.

Several Co-op milkers, coolers. water systems oomplet... with bath- room were installed this past year. An electrical department was also added. The plumbing and electrical section is proving to be one of the best services offered both to mem- bers and to people in various com- munities at large.

During the year a complete new section, housing all the offices and an equipment display room, was added to the store.

The financial statement was pre- sented by Mr. J. G. Dennis. of the Co-operative Union Office. It show- ed net sales of over s-138,000, a large increase over the volume of the previous year. Total assets are over 3134.000; and capital and reserves are 577,483. It certainly shows pro- grws from the days in 1940 when the original members had the old store and s900.00 share capital.

Considerable discussion. led by Mr. Louis McGuire and Joseph Walsh, took place on the possible ways in which the Education Fund might be used. The net result was the appointment of an Education Committee, comprising Miss Mabel O'Brien, Mrs, Mary Malone, and Miss Jean Maclidam. Fr. Reginald Phelan spoke in approval of this move and thought it vital that more be done with the young people.

Considerable discussion took place as to ways of operating more effic- iently and still further improving services.

Mr. Jerome O'Brien reviewed the work of Island Co-op Servlcw as it pertained to the local organization. If. is interesting to note that con- siderable rebate was received by the Morell organization during the past year from the Central Co-op. Departments discussed were: pota- toes; chicks, eggs and poultry-, and insurance.

A resolution was passed empress- ing strong disapproval of the stand of the Provincial Government on the Credit. Union League and Co- operative Union grant, This grant. provided to help defray expenses in supervising and auditing local organizations, was reduced by sl,500.00 for the past year. The meeting urged that the original amount of the grant be restored and suggested that there were sound reasons for increasing even the original grant.

A resolution was also passed ex- pressing concern over the contin- ued illness of Mr. Frank Dunn. whose unceasing efforts have con- trlbuted in no small measure to the stature of the Morell organization today.

Another important resolution was passed concerning the Potato Mar- keting Board. as follows:

. Whereas the Prince Edward Is-

: land Potato Marketing Board was

established at the request of a. large majority of farmers of this and other areas.

And whereas the attempt to suc- cessfully establish and legitim- ately operate producer marketing agencies is one of the most. import- ant isues facing us today as fann- ers.

And whereas we believe the Po- tato Marketing Board assures the producer of a greater measure of control over the disposal of his own prducts than he has hitherto en-

loved.

And whereas it appears that in- fluentlal individuals and powerful groups are unwilling to recognize the fact that we as primary pro- ducers are determined to organize and attain a more favorable bar- gaining positlon. '

And whereas the annual meeting of A Oo-operative organization of this size, embracing as it! does the districts surrounding Morell and Tracadle, should be used to state our stand on vital issues that affect us as farmers and co-Operators.

Be it therefore resolved that we in annual meeting assembled re- new our determimtlon to support our Potato Marketing Board and re-affirm our confidence in it as a necessary agency to improve mar- keting conditions.

Howe Fails To Score 50h Goal

DETROIT, (AP)-Gordie Howe failed to score his 50th goal of the season Sunday night. falling one short of the record, as De- troit Red Wings played a 1-1 tie with Montreal Canadiens.

The Wings big right-winger had only five shots on goal, and none of them was of the clean variety. So Maurice Richard's record of 50 goals in one campaign made by the Canadiens' player in 194445 still stands as the league record.

I-lowe's best attempt came in the third period with about seven minutes to go. He took a short backhander but goalie Gerry Mc- Neil who was outstanding in the Montreal nets handled it cleanly. Howe skated behind the net. shaking his head.in disgust.
