Pennsylvania Woman Dear PM If were you Id put away the ivory number and wear something else for luck Consumers Advocate Born again country store By JOY WOOLANI Is there food cooperative in Barrie No but expect there to be one before the end of 1980 There is food cooperative in Orillia and many in Toronto Food cooperatives are nonprofit making businesses which are owned by their members These people donate time expertise and membership dues usually very low in order to buy food at wholesale prices By cutting out the middleman members of food cooperatives may save up to 20 on their food purchases Because of the rapid growth of food cooperatives the On tario Federation of Food Coops was formed in 1976 Its sevenperson volunteer board shops in volume for food co ops throughout the province For information about existing food coops and for guidance about starting one you can write to the Cooperative Union of Canada Sparks Street Ottawa MAY BE SMALL Food coops may be as small as those run by half dozen families or as large as the Karma Coop in Toronto which has over 1000 members In all instances the public health regulations which cover supermarkets and other food outlets will most certainly apply to food cooperatives Sometimes legal obligations have not been thoroughly studied by newly formed food coops and their rise and fall has been quick Members of food cooperatives must be prepared to put in several hours of work on regular basis and they have to consider the wishes of the majority when ordering food items One of the great advantages of being food co operative member is that emphasis can be laid on ordering nutritious foods thereby educating families to eat properly No prosweetened cereals no synthetic fruit juices and no junkfoods would be available in superior food co operative It seems that coops encourage neighborliness and their members discover real sense of social involvement Perhaps the oldfashioned type of country store is being born again in food cooperative Are you dreaming of owning home Regular deposits to Royal Trust Registered Home Ownership Savings Plan can make that dream home tome true Come in and see us Paul
