President of the board of directors, Ernie Williams of Seaforth, said at the annual meeting last Thursday night, November 22 in Clinton that even though the 10 per cent dividend didn't look that good against the present 18 per cent being charged for personal loans, at d the iG per cent being charged for mortgages, he reminded the packed meeting that interest rates were stable until September. The Credit Union's year end is September 30. Last year, the Credit Union paid out $900,000 in a 9►/.t per cent dividend. Mr. Williams. who was re-elected president of the seven -man hoard of directors, said 'hey are looking at ways to update the accounting procedures in the office to - "keep up xs.!th the banks." He said there were several alternatives including an in-house computor, ar on-line computer, or in out of office computer-. Any one of tit- systems would provide instant updating of a member's Water system tenders ready Tenders foi the for- thcoming Dashwood water system were opened recently, but the contracts were not awarded. Clerk Wilmar Wein of Stephen township said 14 bids had been received.but, figures would not be released until the contracts are let Council has been asked by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to pass a resolution that the lowest tenders be accepted. The same request is being made of Hay township. The contract will be awarded in two sections. One for the distribution system in Dashwood and the other for the secondary trunk line bringing the water from Shipkp to Dashwood. Land severance ap-- ptications from Loretta Hunter-Duvar at part of Lot 20, Concession 1 and John Keller at part of Lot 23, Concession 16 were given approval. Third and final reading were given to the Chambers and Corbett -O'Rourke municipal drains as no appeals were received.

"We have made several trips to a number of other Credit Unions to check out their systems," Mr. Williams said. "We've grown beyond our wildest imagination of just a few years ago," he said, adding that they hoped to take over the basement of the present structure from the ministry of tran- sportation and com- munication and have them move to a nearby house owned by the Credit Union. Mr. Williams had some warnings to relay to the members from the board of directors, including the fact that a few members are letting their accounts become overdrawn. "According to the Credit Union Act, we have no course but to send these cheques back. We know the members mean well, but we can't continue to break the law." A heavy repesentation of Blyth area members at the meeting failed to get any firm• committrnent from the board of directors on opening a branch in Blyth. much like the Credit Union has done in Exeter. Blyth businessmen say they are getting poor service from the only hank in Blyth. Mr. Williams said the Clinton board had many things to consider before opening a Blyth branch. including the economic factors, and the possible competition against the Wingham-Belgrave branch. The Blyth delegation did succeed, however, in getting one of their members.
