Announce Change in Management 0f (Io-op Store

The resignation of Mr. Brent Hqviiatt, Belvedere. as manager of the Co-Op Super-Market and the appointment of Mr. Smith Mac- Farlane, Harrington, to that posi- tion was announced over the holi- day weekend. In connection wlh the change Mr. MacFai-lane has offered his resignation as presi- dent of the Co-Op Association. 1t j; expected a new president will be elected at a directors meeting to be held this evening. ~

The resignation of Mr. Howatt was received with much regret. especially as he contributed so much of his time and effort in petting the Super-Market success- fully launched and functioning smoothly in the rather hectic days of its opcninz.

In tendering his resignation Mr ilnwatt stated lliat he felt the out- nus promotional and educational duties expected of the manager in addition to store supervision were too heavy a burden for him this time. He commented on the cordial relationship that existed between himself and directors. but felt that he would be serving the organization better bv making way for someone with the necessary time and energy to devote fully to the position of manager

The directors received Mr. lfowatfs decision regretfully and with the reallza tion his place

would be difficult to fill. How- ever, they had asked and persuad- ed the President, Mr. lifacFarlane to accept the responsibility.
