"WHAT A LONG WAY to go to donate blood!" SP4 Dennis
Ferguson, 624 Cedar, Shelton, must have had these thoughts
as he donated blood Saturday in Portland. Specialist
Ferguson is a member of 2nd Battallion, 218th Artillery, 41st
Infantry Brigade, Oregon National Guard, and until his
transfer to the Washington National Guard is complete, drills
with his old unit in Portland. The nurse is Miss Janine
Timmen, of the American Red Cross Blood Bank in Portland.
A major step in educating this
state's students to the problems of
misuse of drugs and narcotics has
been taken by State Supt. Louis
Bruno.
Carl Nickerson, health
curriculum associate for the
Ellensburg Public Schools, has
been hired on a one-year contract
to develop and administer a
statewide model drug-abuse
education program.
Nickerson's work will include
the development and publication
of appropriate materials and
programs in the area of drug
control, to be used in school
districts by students, teachers and
school administrative personnel,
Bruno said. Nickerson also will
provide related inservice education
so educators will be readily able to
advise students on the harmful
effects of drugs and narcotics.
"Few teachers are equipped to
discuss the issue, and teaching
materials are either obsolete or of
poor quality," Bruno said.
A special allocation of $40,200
was made available to Supt. Bruno
by Governor Evans from his
emergency fund. The new position
in the state school office follows a
priority recommendation by the
Governor's Drug Abuse Task Force
Report.
The Task Force had pointed
out that "teachers must have a

Washington State Heart

makes its annual Heart Fund

of its budget to research and 15

Cardiovascular disease is a
common problem. Women who
suffer varicose veins during
pregnancy have a variety of
cardiovascular disease - a
circulatory malady. The Heart
Fund is investing in research that
may help prevent this
uncomfortable and ultimately
serious complication.
Heart Fund dollars are being

More than 1,000 nurses and
doctors in this state attend free
classes supported by Heart Fund
dollars. In these classes they learn
new developments in heart
patient care, how to use new
instruments perfected since they
were in school, how to select the
proper drugs for each patient and
how to give other therapy that
will speed recovery.

The report also emphasized
that "every effort should be made
to maximize the involvement of
students and parents throughout
the process." The Governor has
said he plans to seek a more
comprehensive program in the
197 1-73 biennium to further
alleviate drug abuse in the state.
"As other state agencies
develop programs to carry out
their particular responsibilities in
this area," Bruno said, "we'll

District Supt. John Pill
attended a statewide committee
meeting of Intermediate and
School District Organization of
the Washington Association of
School Administrators. The
meeting was held in the
conference room of State
Superintendent Louis Bruno.
One major revision was the
recommendation to WASA to
drop the organization's stand on
mandating consolidation of all
non-high's by 1973. Instead, a
carrot approach will be developed
which will be voluntary, and will
include financial assistance.
A more equitable approach for
non-highs to support their
students attending high schools
was also discussed.
which is the major source of
property taxes, was assessed at
18.6 per cent, and personal
property, a much smaller part, at
24.2 per cent.
- In all but nine counties, the
1969 assessment level was lower
on real property than personal.
- About 45 per cent of all
real property has an assessed value
of less than $1,000.
- Higher valued properties are
assessed higher than lower valued
properties.
The state study ts unique m
its use of state property appraisals
to supplement sales data in
arriving at true market values, and
in the application of trend data to
update the assessment ratios.
Also, for the first time, all types
and values of real property were
considered in each county.
The findings will have a
substantial impact on local
government tax receipts.
Affected in 1970 will be the
computation of the state's 4-mill
property tax levy for schools and
public assistance, distribution of
state gasoline taxes to counties,
distribution of state funds to
school districts, and other
programs.
Most assessors are placing a 25
per cent assessed value on their
current work. However, because
of substantial increases in market
value and the difficulties of
adhering to the statutory
four-year revaluation cycle, the
average level is only 19.5 per cent.
As the counties are able to
revalue property on a more
current basis, the average level
will increase. For each I per cent
increase in the statewide level, a
potential $12 million per year
could be generated by local taxing
districts within their statutorily
authorized millage.
Under instructions from the
Department of Revenue issued in
1969, all assessors will be
adjusting the assessed values on
their rolls to 50 per cent of true
market value in 1970. This ratio
will apply to property taxes

The "Credit Union Compass - Reaching Out to Serve
You" was the winning name suggested for this new
monthly report to Mason County Federal Credit Union
members by Miss Margaret Smith. She received a $25 gift
certificate as a prize.
This was only one of some 165 names sent to us by over
70 members.
"The response was overwhelming," stated Education
Committee Chairman, Andy Tuson. "We hope this
publication can be of real assistance to our members, new
and old alike."
Margaret came to Shelton in 1953, following graduation
from the University of Washington. She also attended the
University of Pittsburg, for 3 years, and has served 3 years
in the Army Nurses Corps.
From 1953-1959, Margaret was Public Health Nurse in
Mason County, at present she is employed by the
Washington Department of Institutions and Greenhill
School at Chehalis. (5128)
Margaret became a member of the credit union in
March, 1960. She told us that the name "The Compass"
just came to her, as if from her heart. Miss Smith lives on
Spencer Lake with her 3 dogs, 2 cats, and numerous ducks.

February 1970
Annual Meeting
The 1969 Credit Union Annual Meeting on
January 30 proved to be the largest in Credit
Union history. A crowd of 220 people including
members and guests were in attendance. With the
growth experienced during 1969, and that hoped
for during 1970, a bigger and better Annual
Meeting is already being planned for early next
year.
Michael Deno, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Deno, Sr., received a $100 gift certificate
at the meeting.
The Deno Family have been active credit union
members for many years. Mike lives with his
parents, 2 brothers and 2 sisters in the Hood Canal
area, and attends Hood Canal Elementary School.
His older brother was the big winner at the 1965
Annual Meeting.
Mike joined the credit union in 1965. His
membership was a gift from his grandmother. Mrs.
Deno told us he plans to leave the money in his
share account, for he likes the idea of earning 3
pennies every 2 days on his savings.
Mike's father, Richard Deno, Sr. worked at ITT
Rayonier before returning to the University of
Washington in 1966 for his Masters Degree, he is
now Shift Test Engineer at the Puget Sound Navy
Shipyard in Bremerton. (4163)
Other winners were: Herb Hergert, Jim
Connolly, Chris Rickards, Troy Sanford, Vagn
Sorensen, Alan Strine, Dan Hergert, Bob Woods,
Dortha Willour, Carl Johnson, Jackie White, Mary
Walko, Reed Myers and Betty McLain.

A Member?
WHY NOT?
Democracy in Action!
It would be to the
advantage of the entire
world today, to take a
look at your Credit Union.
Nowhere else could you
find a better example of
man getting along with
man, helping one another
to enjoy the better things
in life without thoughts of
race, religion, or politics.
There is only ONE
qualification for being a
member of this Credit
Union. You have to be a
resident of MASON
COUNTY, or the family of
a member.
This Credit Union
alone is composed of:
Different Nationalities
Different Religions
Different Political
Ideals and Ideas
Different levels of
(So-Called) Societies
and most important, all
are treated equal.
Yes, we have the rich
and the poor, the good
and the bad. That's how
CREDIT UNIONs came
into being. This is your
Credit Union, you elect
the officers, you receive
the profits, YOU OWN IT
... regardless of your
social or financial station
in life.
Your Credit Union is
truly a democracy in
action, where the main
objective of everyone is to
help his fellowman,
through his financial trials
and tribulations.
Let us continue to
show the world, through
your CREDIT UNION,
that man is interested in
being truly "his brother's
keeper".
