Mr. Reeves said progress of the store had been beyond all expect- ations since it was started four and one-half years and pointed to the annual statement which showed great increases in both sales and profits.

Beet Membership Year

Terinlng it the best year for membership, Mr. Wendell Mutch. reading the Membership Commit- tee report in the absence of Mr. Allison MacMillan who is ill, -said that where there were only about 200 members four years ago there are now 561. With the expansion and the greater volume of sales in prospect he visualized as member- ship of 1.000 in the near future.

Mr. MacLean also referred to this increase and noted that four years ago the share capital was only $7,000 while today it is 550.000. He expressed pride in the store staff who had done so much to make this possible.

In speaking further of the ex- pansion program he stated it was "09 Dlanned as a project to make big profits. Instead it is designed to Permit having the money when necessary to offer assistance .to primary producers in the erection of processing plants.

Financial Statement

The nnanciel statement showed that the store last year did a business of over three-quarters or a million dollars.

operating expense; amounted to $96,150 which after the addition of other income made a total op- erating profit for the year of ap- proximately 95.000. Although there was some discussion regarding the statement, in general it was ap- proved. One item. that of wages paid, touched off an argument. with the chairman saying he could not answer the question as to the amounts various employees receiv- ed as the books were in the office. some members felt they should be brought to the meetings While others maintained a person's sal- ary was a private matter and should not be discussed in open meeting.

Rebates Discussed

The matter of taking or leaving the rebates was one of the long- est of the several discussions. some felt it was not. in the best interest of all to make a hard and fast rule with one speaker claim- ing a. man had a right to do what he pleased with his own money without being told how he must spend it or where he must. leave

other speakers thought that the person who only wanted to take rebates was making money at the expense of those members who wished to help the co-op and were not in it. for purely personal mon- etary reasons Mr. Muolbean sug- gested his belief that any person who took his rebates in cash for three DUCCEBBIH. years should also be handed back his share capital.

Will Approve Si.

By C. B. BLACKBURN

WASHINGTON (CP) — There were growing signs Wednesday that the House of Representatives will give final approval to United States participation in the seaway phase of the St. Lawrence river- Great Lakes development when the issue comes up for a shwo- down vote today.

The legislation, debated on the House floor for the first time in half a century Wednesday and al- ready approved by the Senate. would authorize the U. S. govern- ment to join with Canada in build- ing the 27-foot-deep waterway.

In previous years the seaway project was stalled in the Senate, where it was consistently shelved or voted down without reaching the House.

As the limited debate neared its conclusion on the House floor. signs were that opposition had faded sufficiently to produce an

approving vote.

The House presented a picture of c o m p n r a t i v e indifference. scarcely more than 50 of the 435 members were in their seats dur-

ing the debate droned through the

afternoon.

Cleveland Bailey (Dem. W. Va.) an opponent of the measure made one of the few pointed remarks aimed at Canada when he de- parted from his prepared text to say:

“No one within sound of my voice is so gullible as to believe the timely visit of the governor- general of Canada to address a joint session of Congress just one day prior to our vote on the sea- way was merely coincidental."

The boat, after the opening, of the season, will continue constant patrol, keep- ing a close check on the taking of undersized and spawned lobst- ers. When the season closes on June 30th., her duties from then on will if anything be more import- ant, than during the season, as dur- ing the mid-summer and fall months a watchful eye must be kept on those who would poach lobsters out of season.
