The "'Compass" will become what I hope is a re{reghing new look into a tot of things that are happening throughout Mason County's CRED|'I" UNION country. "Loo'king down Railroad Avenue" will be an interest-filled column about US, you and me. Some of it will be trivia, some serious, some humorous but it WILL BE about us. 1 promise, Vietnam, Russia, Henry Jackson, the Fords (Jerry, Henry or Jim Pauley's) will not be discussed. My wife reminds me often to: "Say it like it is." I hope to do that in the months to come. BANKS VS. CREDIT UN1ONS (in that order only because B comes before C.) At the Washington State Legislature this session the credit union movement has really been under attack by the Washington State Banker Lobby. Why'? "Because credit unions are getting too big and powerful." so say the bankers. The credit unions feel that if the banks were doing their job, credit unions wouldn't need to infringe into their areas. People, individuals, need to be secured financially; if the banks won't take care of them, the credit unions will. Is that wrong? Now please don't get me wrong. In today's complex world of finance, banks and savings and loans and credit unions all play a vital part. l am the first to realize this, and without the service and advice 1 get from the local management and staff of the Shelton banks, the credit union's operation would be at a vertical stanstill. This is not a local problem; the policies they work under come from Seattle and Tacoma. We know this. CASE IN POINT... The credit union loans money, a lot of money, every month. We (the credit committee and myself) know that a lot of these loans (which, incidentally, are sound, substantial loans) could and should be made by the banks, but their policies directed from the big city will not allow this. So the credit union makes these loans to businesses and individuals who are Mason County residents; after all, that's our business... To meet this loan demand and provide needed service to our members, we then have to go to other credit unions in Olympia, Seattle, Tacoma, to borrow the money. Why borrow money from other credit unions? Because a lot of residents of Mason County are putting their savings at the bank at 41/2% rather than in Mason County Federal Credit Union at 6%. That is why. A FEW FACTS... at the end of 1974, the banks in Shclton had almost $33,000,000 (that's million) in savings accounts; of that $33 million, only $10,000,000 (million again)was loaned out. Is the difference, $23 million, being used for the Seattle domed stadium and Tacoma downtown renewal?? At the credit union loan rates are lower, savings rates are higher, federal government protection the same. Let's make Mason County grow by letting your dollars work in Mason County.

The fa-= miliar red invoice was pasted on the front. Disaster! Imagine me, Cash Barrelhead, supersleuth, debt- rid~n and plagued by diabolical bill co llecto!s! • .. then I met a dynamite chick named Petty Cash, who also happened to manage our local gumshoe credit union. With her tender help and un- derstanding, I leaped from dreary poverty to where I am today, and believe me I learned a few things along the way. Like how to stay straight in this cold, hard world of Cash! Being a right-thinking sleuth (and a soft touch for pert Petty, who put me up to this) rve decided to share a few of these pearls of financial wisdom with you this year. I'll show you how to avoid some of the financial perils my clients have encountered. And, how to keep those unwanted encyclo- pedias from dropping through your mail slot. Meanwhile, if you have any questions about the cold, hard world of Cash, drop me a note ICaSh Barrelhead, P.O. Box 391, Madison, Wis. 53701. Chow! on Scholarship In 1975, the credit union will be awarding two scholarships to graduating seniors from the Mason County High Schools. A $800 scholarship will be granted for a student entering a traditional academic field; a $400 scholarship will be awarded a student entering a vocational field. Deadline on the application forms is April 8, 1975. Last year, these scholarships were issued to Karen Wolle and Dan Anderson, both from North Mason High School.
