news gathering organizations that operate on 

 the same co-operative type basis. These organi- 

 zations are set up to provide the economies of 

 large volume and they return their savings to 

 their member companies on the basis of use, just 

 the same as your company and mine. To charge 

 your company and mine of being un-American 

 is only done to confuse the issue. 



If your company and mine has well informed 

 members, there is little to fear. We can be crit- 

 icized, ridiculed, and unfairly attacked— from the 

 outside, and some of this may be good for us. 

 The great danger lies within! This is the danger 

 of having mis-informed and uninformed mem- 

 bers. 



So plan to attend the annual meeting of yoar 

 local county Farm Bureau, your local service 

 company, your local grain marketing associa- 

 tion, your local livestock marketing association, 

 your local creamery. You will have greater need 

 for them in the future than you have had in the 

 past. They need your voice; they need your vote; 

 they need your vigorous support.
