For many years women have been active participants in credit union business: as staff, as committee people, and most importantly as MEMBERS. Our policy is that credit will be granted on character and ability to repay. Under no circumstances will a woman be denied credit simply because she is a woman.

Some have always known a disability. Others, afflicted after years of normal activity, must make adjustments. In the former catagory is Nancy Leister, who was stricken with polio at the age of 13 months. As a three-year-old she appeared on the March of Dimes poster, a brace on each leg. "I have no recollection of any other way of life," says the young mother of two little sons. Since she was five years old, she has needed but one brace. She cares unassisted for a spacious mobile home located in the Skokomish Valley Center. Cooking is her hobby. "1 can do just about anything that anyone else can," Nancy Lcister declares, "and 1 really enjoy bowling!" Mac Rutledge of Shelton is also a polio victim. Permanently confined to a wheelchair since 1960, she is a competent homemaker in a kitchen remodeled to suit her needs with 31-inch-high counters replacing those with the standard height of 30 inches. No longer can she work at her old trade of grocery-checker, but she has maintained an answering service for the PUD and has labored with dedication for the Cancer Society. Of her lbur children, only the youngest yet lives in the home. Mae Rutledge finds time for art. She paints in oils, pastels and watercolors; she sculpts; she fashions pottery. Although her days of active large-scale gardening are past, she has not forsaken horticulture. Rhododendrons are grown from seed and from cuttings. She dabbles in the dirt of countless fuschia baskets. Music has not escaped her. She plays a chord organ. Cookery is a joy, wine-making is a delight and the two often mingle in her exotic cuisine. She is often seen in a Mason County Fair booth, skillfully manipulating a potter's wheel. She smiles readily. "I keep busy," she says. A POTTER'S WHEEL is operated by Mae Rutledge.
