Women are not considered poor credit risks at the Mason County Credit Union...
nor are they thought to be neurotic or ignorant of financial matters. 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.

The woman whose life-style is affected by a
handicap may fall into one of two classes. 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.
