President's Report

Following is a partial text of President 0'Brien's report:

"In preparing ur 1950-51 re- port we are not ying to cover in detail all the activities engag- ed in by your Board and Central Office. We have endeavoured to give information on the more im- porlani. issues and have express- ed our opinion on possible lines of action ihIt should be taken in the future. These opinions are given more to stimulate dis- cussion on a future cq-operative program than to try to lay down definite policy. We look to our annual meeting for n.COITII'nEnd8- tions in carrying out I co-op program for next year.

"During the past year a self- service food store was opened in Summerside. the most up-to-date food store in the Province. Mr. Rod MacNevin is the Manager of the " merside Co-op.

Cash Trading

”Eariy in the year the Co-op- cratlve Union decided that cash trading must be adopted by' all our co-operatives. At. the be- ginning. of their year February lsl, i951, in accordance with this policy. there were several gen- eral meetings of local co-ops. There were also some dire pre- dictions of what would happen to I sales when the co-ops went on cash. Suffice to say that cash trading has been successful and

sales have generally increased. "We. are not completely happy over the success of Co-op Life Insurance. Mr. Cyrus Poirier, who has worked very hard to put this' program over; has not enjoyed the success he anticipated. We suggest that our meeting today consider a program for Co-op In- surance. insurance is a CD-opera-I tive project which should bel supported by all co-ops and co-' operators. , "We appreciate the amount of advertising being done by our- Co-op Supermarkets. We re-I commend an integrated advertis-I ing program by a central agency. for all our co-ops. Co-opcratlvei organizations have more to ad-I I

vertise than private business, the stores must attract customers. producer co-ops must bid for pat- ronage and the whole co-opera- tive plan must be sold to the Let us pre- pub-

pecrpie as a whole. pare today a co-operative licity program.

"We must take a real interest- in our co-operative inovcnientl Enthusiasm is important. Oursl is I movement iivhich covers the, entire world, "claims the great good of every race and ciimc.'

"We must use every means available to promote the co-op- erative idea among the members. the people and the youth of the Province. This is our job. How can we accomplish it?"

Mr. I):-nnis' Report '

J. G. Dennis in his secretaigvl.-z report stated that three co-opcra- tive associations had bcrn organ-y

l

izecl during the past year. They are the Carleton Co-operative As- sociation. Ltd.; the Abrams Vil-

lage Co-operative Association. p Lid.: and the Suniniersirie Co- operative Association. Ltd. ' Mr. Dennis said: I "The Carleton Co-op has been. making steady progress. it. has

a small grocery store. distributes feed. and purdhascs produce. The Abram's Village Co-op is a clieese factory which had been rutitiing some years under the narnc of the Abrams Village Dairy As- sociation. Inc.

”The Suminerside Co-operative Association Limited is a seli-rci'- vice super-market. it carries groceries in its store and also has I "feed warehouse and egg grading station. The three de- partments of this OI'Ranl7.ElllOn are showing splendid 'rcsults.

”Our whole co-operative set- up is continuing to expand. The majority of the co-operatives are increasing their sales and scr- viccs annually. There are others in the group which have had dif- ficult iimcs during the past year. and especially last fall and early winter when all our stores were feeling the effects of the.low price and slow marketing of po- tatoes. Many of our stores had been giving too gmuch credit against the future sales of pota- toes, and every year great con- cern was felt in regard to the position our consumer co-ops were placing themselves by hand- ing out too much credit. This past year, being one of our worst In this regard. steps were taken by your Board to remedy the situation. As a. result all con- sumer co-ops were notified that on February lst. 1961. they u-nnlri have to sell for cash. No crt'.li. could be advanced to their mem- bers. "Many of the Boards of Dil'(!C- tors thought this a very drastic step, but all co-operated whole- heartedly, and. as a resiiit. the sales in many of the co-opcra- lives have shown an increase in- stead of ii decrease as was feared.

"Cash trading was a step in the right direction as very shortly it will make available to ilic local co-operatives many thousands of dollars which had previously been tied up in charge sales.

”Last ycalr we budgeted for I

gain of 55.00. we were very close on this estimate as our operat- ing statement shows that we had 514.07 unexpcnded revenue on May 31. 1951. At our last annual meeting we r.'rc:ited our rev- cnue would tic : .4S0.00 however. the amount. 1' : . -. was 511,- 6373 ' "In our Consolidated Account the revenue estimated for the year was 521,501.). while the amount received was 320,018.37. Expenditures was estimated at 521.966, while the actual amount expended was 519,2-14.77. We esti- nialed that we would have a dc- ficit of 5165. Instead we had un- expended revenue of 5773.60.

”In our budget this year we have estimated our revenue at 315.000, with operating expendi- tures of 514,950.00, leaving an estimated unexpended revenue of 350.00.

"In the Consolidated Account our estimated revenue last year was 321,500. and, for the coming year. 522,100.00 operating ex- penses are estimated at 521,009.61 for the coming year as compared with S21,-95-3.00. which was the estimate last year.

United (illumi- laymen's Ass'n Annual Reeling

The atiiiiial Lay Associatioii Conference of the United Church was held in Cornwall on Tuesday. July 10th. Mr. Thomas Movse led the morning devotional period bas- ing his remarks on John 15. He stressed the fact that. ii! we are going to help others our own hearts must. be in right rela- tionship with God."

In the afternoon Mr. Brooks re- ported on the activities of the. laymen and pointed out that 41; services had been conducted dur- ing the year. Rev. Mr. Mercer, Chairman of Presbytery brought greetings from that body. He men- tioned the matter of appointing an institutional chaplain and many piesent spoke regarding it and were in favor of this action being taken.

Rev, Mr. Green and Mr. Haber Hardyispoke on the conference theme, "The Need of Evangelism". Mr. Green said that, "we will not see the need of Evangelism until we realize that we have drifted away from God. That: the god of this world has robbed us of the idea of Heaven and that this worldly spirit. has entered all lev- eis 01 Church life."

Mr. Hardy stressed the grave position of the Church. He said that the moral fibre of the people is at a very low ebb and that im- mediate raising of these moral standards is necessary. Many oth- ers took' part in this discussion.

Mr. Elmer MacLean has charge of the worship part of the even- ing meeting after which prayer was offered by the president of the

Maritime Conference. Rev. Mr. Weir. Resolutions of thanks were

brought in by the courtesy com- mittee to Rev. Mr. Charman and Churcii officers for the use of the Church. to the Cornwall people for entertaining the laymen at noon and for providing such a wonder- ful evening meal. to Rev. NIT.
