There Have Been
Some Changes Made
►Time was when buses stopped everywhere.
Some still do as they are dandy, for local trips.
But today there’s also a faster kind of Trail
ways service known as thru express. Thru ex
press takes you great distances without change
and with less stops enroute. Many 200 mile trips
are made non-stop; and very often a bus will
travel 500 miles with only 2 or 3 stops.
A Trallways Bus itinerary can be worked out
to fit your particular needs, whether your trip
is for 10 miles or 1000 miles; and you ride In
America’s newest bus fleet.

Why Should We Go to the Annual Meeting?
annual”1
Sisctinc/
All right, Mr.-and Mrs.-,
that's a fair question. Now let us
tell you why you, and every member
of this rural electric system should
attend the annual meetings.
First, you should realize, if you
don't already, that this is your elec*
trie cooperative—your own private
business enterprise. You’re not just
a customer—you’re a part owner.
That means that you are entitled to
have your say-so in its operation,
just as much as you have in the
operation of your own farm or any
other business you own.
As a matter of fact, your voice in
the running of this system is more
than a right—it's actually an obli
gation on your part. If this system
is to be run intelligently and effi
ciently, its policies must be the result
of the thinking of all its members.
And that thinking is expressed by
the way you and your neighbors vote
at your annual meetings.
The annual meeting is your oppor
tunity to check up on how your sys
tem is operating, get the facts on its
financial status, and learn what
problems it may have to face in the
coming year. The annual meeting is
also your opportunity to vote on
issues and proposals that will direct
ly affect you and all the other mem
bers of the cooperative. And it is
your opportunity to elect to office
those directors whom you think will
guide the co-op along the lines that
you want.
The welfare of your rural electric
system, and its continuing ability to
give the best service at the lowest
possible cost, depends on whether
you take advantage of your opportu
nities and fulfill your obligations at
the annual meetings.
