President Oehlmannpresented to the Board of Directors two proposals involving .! the reorganization of the Company.These proposals are the product of ayear-long examination by YPCCo. staff membersof howthe Companycould be reconstructed toward a moreefficient, possibly leaner, operat- ing force. Concurrently,a similar study wasbeing doneby the Harris, Kerr, Forster accountingfirm. Following an exchangeof ideas H.K.F. firmed up the two proposals which Mr. Oehlmannpresented to the Board, and which the Board approved. First, shownin Chart A is the "interim" (present) shapeof the Company’sorganization. The principal changehere wasthe creation of four Vice Presidential positions: Vice President, Administration; Vice Presi- dent, Cornmercial;Vice President, Finance;Vice President Operations.To these positions were elected respec- tively: Mr. Harold Ouimet,Mr. CharlesProctor, and Mr. Sterling Cramer.The duties of eachremain the same. Thefourth Vice Presidencyhas not yet beenfilled. In addition, Mr. Stuart Cross’ responsibilities as GeneralManager were expandedto include supervision ot" all YPCCo. operations. ¯!¯ The secondaction dealt with’ a proposedultimhte form for the Company’sorganization. This is pi~:tured in Chart B. In both I f the interim and ultimate forms an executive staff will meetwith Stockholders " i i the Presidentor the Vice Presidentat his bidding.
