Coop Oil Group
Selects Two New
BoardDirectors
Two Former Members De-
cline Reformation at
Twelfth Annual Meeting.

Two new members of the Pine Co
op Oil Association board of directors,
Alvin j. Jensen and Christopher Mel
sen, both of Askov, were selected at
the 18th annual meeting held Satur-
day in the D. B. S. hall in Askov.
They succeed Almer E. Ecklund and
H. r. Buck who declined re-nomi-
nation to the five-man board.
Fred Schoenrock of FinlaySon, will
again head the board as president
for the coming year; Peter Stulen,
Sandstone, is the vice president; AL
vim ]. Jensen replaces Mr.. Ecklund
as secretary-treasurer and Christie
pher Nielsen, Askov, and Joe Skal-
icky, Hinckley, are directors.
Small Attendance.
Due to the snow-blocked roads in
many localities and the deer hunting
season, the attendance at the meet
ing Saturday was not as large as in
former years. The meeting opened
in the forenoon with a recess at noon
for a dinner served by the members
of the Askov Coop Guild. Following
the luncheon the meeting reconvened,
adjourning at 4 o'clock.
The financial statement for the
year was read and discussed as was
also the report of the manager, w. B.
johnson. Both the statement and re-
port were accepted. 1t was moved
and carried to keep the board men,
bership at five, the same as in the
past. The disposition of the net
earnings was then taken up for dis
cussion and after some debate it was
decided to leave the earnings in the
association and a stock dividend paid
instead of cash. This was done in
order to give the association more
operating funds and sufficient CAPT.
tai for current operation. The mo-
ton was for this year only, the dis
position of the earnings in the flu
ture to be left for the annual meet
ings then.
To Modernize Bylaws.
The salary of the directors and
mileage fees were set the same as
before-S2 per meeting for each di-
rector and four cents per mile for
travelling expenses. The board was
selected as a committee to draw up
a revised and modernized set of by
laws, same to be taken up for dis
cussion and vote at the 1941 annual
meeting.
John Vandermyde, head of the field
force of the Midland Cooperative
Wholesale, was then called on for an
address. He drew further attention
to the various reports that were given
during the meeting and complimented
the association as making fine pro-
gress. In the course of his talk he
listed five things as necessary for a
good cooperative to grow. They were
as follows: Adequate financing, sound
business practice and methods, an
active board of directors, capable
and qualified managers and employees
and an informed membership. He

full about jumping to conclusions.
Altogether, the last fourteen months
have taught the world that diplomats
of the dictator governed countries say
as little as possible, preferring to
express themselves in direct action.
This means that one may not be
told anything about possible Russian

called axis alliance, but will simply
have to find out by the actual and
visible results of deeply secret con-
ferences and agreements.
Italian Defeats.
There is some reason to wonder
what Hitler may now be thinking
about the worth of his ally, Musso-
lini, for the Italian campaign against
Greece certainly has not proved that
the Roman autocrat can be very
helpful. Although the leadership
of the Balkan war has been trans
ferred to very able Italian general,
Ubaldo Soddu, defeats stare the fas--
cists in the face all the time.
The tiny Greek nation has put
up defense that simply amazes
the world; the soldiers of Greece
have in the course of little more
than three weeks succeeded i'm
driving the enemy out of their
country. They have not only
stopped the Italian offensive but
have themselves begun one
against the foe and are pursuing
Mussolini's fleeing troops far into
Albania.
Despite constant defeats, Musso-
lini still is confident of ultimate vic
tory. He said so in radio speech
last Monday. The Greeks and the
British he denounced as tricky and
schemy, and he and Hitler were 60
