H Wood announced Saturday fol lowing the filing of amended ar tides of association. Stockholders recently voted to turn in their stock and take re ceipts for it, to be remunerated from operating surplus and from reserves accumulated from past years. Growers who sell to the can nery in the future will become members by the payment of a $1 fee, and his ownership increases in proportion to his deliveries. Wood says the change puts the cannery wholly under the coop erative law and completely in the hands of the growers. The board of directors of the firm, which will continue in of fice, are Paul B. Wallace, presi dent, H. W. "Bowden, vice-president, Marc Saucy, Emil Stevens and Max Kleman. The company was organized in 1925.
