MAKING BOWS Alpha Tau Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi joined their sister chapters for a Christmas Party December 2 at the Masonic Hall.

Two by-laws to amend the existing by-laws of the Credit Union were passed by the more than 100 members in attendance, after each was explain- ed by President Levis and John Dick. a chartered accountant with the organization's auditor. Ward Mallette of Ridgetown. One of these, which will require Credit Union members to hold a mimimum of five paid-up permanent shares in the organization, (up from the one share now required), was recommended by the provincial Ministry of Consumer and Commer- cial Relations. This provision will result in providing the member - owned company with a larger capital base, which will enable it to realize a more advantageous tax position. The other by-law passed by the membership, at the request of the ministry, will provide for a larger number of members needed in order to call a general meeting. Although this action has never been taken by the Clinton Credit Union, according to manager Fred Gibson, the new by- law will make it neeessary to have more than 400 members in agreement to call such a meeting, up from the 100 now required. Dick reported that a dividend of 6.5 percent was paid on share accounts this year, with more than $2.9 million being returned to members as dividends and interest. He said that until the organization's reserve fund has been built up to five percent of its assets, according to a ruling by the Ontario Share and Deposit Insurance Corporation, higher dividends would not likely be forthcoming. Members learned that for the first time in history, assets at the Clinton Community Credit Union have pass- ed the $40 million total, with growth in both the Clinton and Exeter bran- ches showing a steady increase. Loan Manager Don Jefferson reported that his department had experienced a very busy year, with nearly $15 million in loans disbursed, covering 282 first mortgages and 1,686 personal loans. He said the average mortgage loan was more than $28,000. while the The second "Melly" book is out for Christmas "Melly Moves Away by Gwyn Whilsmith Available at: Little People.

Before the meeting ended, the solemn oath of office was ad ministered by vice-president Tyndall to six new employees, Josephine Cook, Eileen Townsend, Debbie Falconer and Terry Dobson of the Clinton office; and to Lynn Tordoff and Karen Dauber of the Exeter branch.
