beef for which Japanese people are now' paying $120 a pound for in their country The expensive beef is called Wagu and is extremely tender with white fatty deposits But there is a misperception that Japanese will only eat the the Japanese culture and market" Mori said “They think you just take a trip to Japan and you're an expert It takes more than just one trip” Focusing on the lean beef market may be difficult because the United States produces a lot of that Mori said “How do you differentiate Utah's lean beef in the store from Iowa’s or Arizona’s?” “Utah can't corner the marit's relatively small compared to other areas producing beef” he said “But it can have a very unique place in the marketplace if it studies Japanese culture and tastes carefully and produces beef to Japan’s culture

“But marbling creates that and other qualities such as its flavor” Color marbling and flavor are as important as the tenderness of the beef Mori said Marketing Utah beef in Japrocess and pan is a deal

first week’s paycheck was 25 and I got to keep most of it Only a couple of dollars or so were deducted for taxes and Social Security In those days I had a choice of two commercial banks and only two types of accounts I could put my money in One was a regular checking account which paid no interest The other was a passbook savings account which if memory serves me paid a 2 interest rate The sign in the Golden-wes- t lobby lists 10 different savings instruments that are available to me today “Nome of our members ere able to put more of their income into savings and leave AA i Michelle explained “So we’ve developed savings plans tailored to the specific needs of our individual members” For example five of those savings plans are Certificates of Deposit CDs Ranging from three months to 30 months So if you have some money to save that you’re pretty sure you won’t need for a long period of time you can put it in a long term CD and get a higher rate But if you think you might need it fairly soon you can buy a shorter term CD Goldenwest also has a number of IRA and tax annuity instruments that allow you to save for retirement children’s education or other long range goals And these earn even higher rates of interest Even the checking ac- counts now draw interest j That’s a big and welcome change from the one Checking-one savings accotint option available when J started
