Can a non-menber who patroni yes the stores

for share?
decision on this question Will have to
be made by the members who form the coop
erative associations
This automatic membership has arguments
both for and against it. The membership
WI IL grow through this method wi thout any
effort on the part Of the associations. 1t
also offers the poorest families who might
not be able to purchase a shares way to
membership. Then. toe, cooperatives do not
approve Of making so-oa1led profits from
non-members. They prefer to have all the
people they serve, members.
On the other hand, this type OF membership
tends to become involuntary membership In
some cases land defeats the purpose of coop
Grafton which is se1f-help through working
together. These automatic members mi ght
disregard their duties and RESPONSE b1 IL
ties since they made no sacrifices to be-
come members. They contributed neither
capital nor effort and yet reap the bene-
fits which others made possible for them.
This, as some one has said. becomes cooper
alton for members instead Of cooperation
by the members.
Perhaps the members ship contract should de-
fine the respons ibilities Of members to
their ASSOCIATE on, and Members should be
reminded Of them at frequent intervals.
The residents Of Greenbe1t who make up the
cooperative association should weigh all
arguments for and against automatic MEMBER
