The directors would like very much to have every member or shareholder present and to invite and bring one prospective member with you to the meeting. Your credit union consisting of the employees of the Geneya Steel company at Geneva mine has shown a tremendous growth in membership in the three months since its organization; having now over two hundred members as of January 15, 1951, borthere are some thirty-fiv- e rowers, with total loans to the membership of $6,398.64, and with total assets as of December 31, 1950 of $5,067.50. The credit unions are exempt from state and federal taxes. It was organized by you employees to provide loans at low interest rates to the members. Your savings in the credit union are insured up to $5,000 by the federal government the same as any other banking institution, and in addition the memb'ers have the JUfe Savings insurance, which is a group insurance plan to provide insurance benefits for the family or estate of a credit union member in the event of his death, in an amount equal to his share Savings in the credit union, the maximum being $1,000 on any account, subject to certain conditions of the contract betweeen the credit union and the Cuna National insurance society. These conditions are that the age of each member at the effective date of the Life Savings contract will determine the original amount of the insurance on his savings (within the $1,000 maximum). If the membeer has not reached the age of 55 when the contract becomes effective, there is 100 insurance on his savings, if a member is between the age of 55 and 59 inclusive there is a 75 insurance on his savings, if the member is age 60 to 64 inclusive 50 insurance; between 65 to 69 inslusive 25 ; and if the member has reached the age of 70 then the credit union would only be able to return to the beneficiary only the actual savings of the member. This means then that if a member should die the credit union through the insurance society would pay the beneficiary an amount equal to the amount of the savings of the member in the credit union or 100 up to the maximum of $1,000 provided the member had not reached the age 60 of 55, and from 55 to to 64 inclusive-569 to 65 and only the actual amount of his savings in the credit union if he is age 70. In addition to this you have the Loan Protection insurance, which is insurance protecting the credit union against loss because of death (or total or permanent disability) of a borrowing member, consistent with the provisions of the contract between the credit union and the Cuna National society. When a borrowing member dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled, the Cuna Mutual insurance society pays to the credit union the balance remaining unpaid on the loan, and the beneficiary and are relieved of this obligation. Therefore, the borrowing members insurance program is automatically adjusted to his The Wasach ladies came forth on last Wednesday night with some very good bowling by split-in- g the four points with the Workmans team to take the first half of the league by three points. The Style Shop kept second place by taking three from the A & H. The bowling by all four teams was very good and extremely .exciting throughout tRe evening. The Wasatch ladies lost the first two games and the Style Shop took the first two from the A and H. Had the Wasatch Ladies lost all four and the Style Shop won all four there would have been a tie between these two teams. 59-7- 5, ay outstanding obliga- Your credit union, therefore, insists on helping its members to help themselves by utilizing consumer credit during the period of their normal earnings capacity. The tireless effort of the officers of your Credit Union to build a strong credit union to help each and every member surmount their economic difficulties can be appreciated only if all the members or shareholders will assist in getting as many prospective members into the organization as is possible, in order that larger loans can be made to applicants with ample security, which loans are now limited because of the capital assets of the credit union. Save with your Credit Union, (Continued on Page Four) PEP CLUB ON PARADE The East Carbon junior high school Pep club was much in round-robi- n evidence at the pre-seas- on basketball tournament last week. Occupying a prominent place on the newly installed bleachers, the fifty members, all dressed in their attractive uniforms, cheered the team in traditional Pep club fashion. During the Friday night game, the girls presented a clever floor show of marching maneuvers led by cheer leaders Gay Fausett, Joan St. Clair and Mary Lou Ry- an and club president, Barbara Fausett, vice president, Jo Ann Hixon, and secretary, Arva The group followed onto the floor in two long lines and formed the numerals, 51. In this formation the girls gave yells for Notre Dame, Helper and Price. They then made a small E and C, and with a clever yell that increased in volume the lines moved out and the EC gradually grew to giant size.' Norma Seppi and Shirley Cox played the drums for the marching. Other members of the club are: Tenth grade, Darlene Litchfield, Patsy Anderson, Nancy Graham, Lois Grace, Joy Ann Coggins, Patricia McCourt, Barbara Waite, Barbara Skranzas, Claudia Rock, Ellen Preston, Sallie Mahan, Goldie Marakfs, JoAnn Jewkes, Carol Arvetta Satterfield, Greenwell, Patsy Patterman, Joan Heer, Shirley Hutson, Peggy Wycherley, Rachael Rosella, Mary Jo Moyer, Josephine Tomsich.

The increase is a hourly boost and came even in the midst of rumors to the effect that John L. Lewis was prepared to give his miners the word to cease work prior to 20-ce- nt new wage increase talks. It was said that the increase was agreed upon during recent talks between the industry and Lewis in Washington and is designed to assure an uninterrupted flow of soft coal to the nations defense industries during the coming year. The proposed wage increase is almost certain to result in higher retail prices for coal and adds another increase on the already strained pocketbook of the consumer. The operators insist they need a price boost to carry the extra wage load. They say their markets have been so tight since the last contract signing that they had to absorb the full cost of the raise Lewis won then. They estimated the cost of last years contract at about 25c a ton, Any increase in the cost of production must be passed on to consumers, one source warned. The voluntary boost presumably will substitute for a full contract reopening. This is possible at any time after April 1 under terms of an agreement signed last March after a series of strikes. If not reopened, the contract runs until 1952. Lewis was reported to have the United Mine summoned Workers wage policy 70c-a-d- ay 200-m- an et meetcommittee to a ing in Washington for today to ratify the new wage proposal.
