Pennell had recently return 10 mc uuu
of tor m npri-faet finding Journey
through Russia. Pennell related many stories
and anecdotes to a big audience that showed
. cm m (nri dinner, featuring roasts
uy a. p. .... - ' "
from MCGG-bought FFA and 4-H steers.
Pennell talked about grain storage
transportation and handling in Russia and
gave comparisons between that Communist
country and America. Pennell was also
surprised by a few findings in the Soviet
Union.
Russia boasts a full employment economy,
according to Pennell. who compared a
terminal elevator in Odessa, Russia, wiw one
of comparable size in Kalama. v A. ine one in
Washington employs 45 persons, while the
. . . 1 arAI
terminal in Russia employs .
Labor problems, Pennell said, were also of
mejor importance to the Russian farmer.
Shortage of equipment parts, experienced
operators., coupled with the size of some of
the farms, produces quite a problem.
One interesting note Pennell also found
concerned the average Russian housewife.
Pennell said she spends an average of 38
hours a week shopping!
A housewife would go into a butcher shop
for meat and follow these ways: she'd get in
line, work her way up and tell the butcher
what she wanted; he'd hand her a ticket and
she'd get in another line; she'd work her way
up through that line and pay for her meat;
she'd get back in line, work her way through
the females and finally get her meat.
In other business. Larry Mills, manager of
MCGG in Lexington, reported on the annual
sales. Steve Green, accountant from Pendle
ton, reported to the crowd that the net margin
for the past fiscal year was $201,000. That is
about the same as last year.
Mills also talked about the MCGG purchase
of Cenex Soil Service in lone. Mills said the
purchase would enable MCGG to tie in with
Farmer's Union Central Exchange, the
largest regional supply cooperative in the
area.
Ron HaguiVood was elected president of
the cooperative; Gene Majeske, vice presi
dent; Larry Lindsay, secretary; and Mills,
treasurer. All of those, except Mills and
including Al Bunch, were elected as directors.
Associate directors elected were Tony
Doherty, Frank Halverson, Paul Hisler, Jr.,
Robert Stevens and Ronald Beckett.
The dinner, served by the Willows Grange
from lone, was from roasts of animals
purchased by MCGG. The remaining steers
were given away as door prizes. Winning
boxes of meat were Arnold Melby. Ruth
Bergstrom, Ken Smouse, Fran Barnett. Mrs.
Harold Peck. Tana Hill. Tad Miller, Nancy
Ekstrom, Mrs. Glen Campbell, Jim Cason
and Fred Martin.
