If you do, consider opening or adding to your share account or purchasing a Certificate of Deposit. According to Credit Association Manager Harvey Dickert, demand for the Association’s Certificate of Deposit has been good. "Many savers are adding to their regular share accounts while others are transferring large sums of money from other financial institutions in order to earn our high rates,†he added. “The Association is particularly interested in attracting some large, long-term accounts,†he explaind. “Our rates for 182 days are 6.75% and range up to 7.5% for 36-month certificates. All it takes is $1,000 to earn these rates.†"Savers must realize, however, that Certificates are for $1,000 or more, must be for at least 182 days, and interest penalties apply for early withdrawal,†continued Dickert. "Once a systematic system of savings is established, associ ates find a planned program of cash accumulation works well and enables them to achieve large amounts in a much shorter period of time.†Clinton Credit Association Interest Rate Scoreboard Savings Plan Minimum Amount Interest Rate Regular Shares $ 5.00 6.00% 182 days certificate 1,000.00 6.75% 365 days certificate 1,000.00 6.90% 24 months certificate 1,000.00 7.25% 36 months certificate 1,000.00 7.50% 1 year 5,000.00 8.1% *Rates are subject to change.

I’m Clint Mills and you'll be hearing more from me in the future. We'll be discussing issues affecting each of us and our company in future issues of the Clothmaker. In the past decade and a half, I’ve taken on several appearances, but like most of us, “Clint" has now reached a mature age, with a great deal of experience and wisdom and, hope fully, good advice to share with you. This month I’d like to discuss with you a subject close to all of us. It's alcohol and drugs — two crutches that can virtually ruin our lives when improperly used. I recently read a good definition of drug use and drug abuse. The Food and Drug Administration defines “drug use" as the taking of drugs for their intended purpose, in the appropriate amount, frequency and strength. Now, “drug abuse" is deliberately taking a substance for other than its intended pur pose and in a manner that can result in damage to the person’s health or his ability to function. We all need to be aware of the seriousness of drug abuse. The urge to abuse drugs often comes from a desire to escape reality. Drugs change our body chemistry and when not used according to their prescribed pur pose, they can alter our thinking, body func tions and may result in serious illness, per manent impairment or even death. Illegal drugs should never be used and prescription medication should only be used under the supervision of proper medical per sonnel. The overuse of alcohol also concerns me very much. Over the years I’ve seen many of my friends and yours destroy their lives by abusing alcohol. Alcohol is one of the major abused drugs. Alcoholism is a major disease which creeps up on its victims and grows year by year. Take time to learn more about drug and alcohol abuse. I urge you to participate in Clinton Mills Associate Assistance Program and seek professional help for any drug or alcohol problems you and your family mem bers may be experiencing. Thank you, President Thad Williams, right, explained Geneva’s contributions to the area economy to those attending a special birthday celebration. Geneva Celebrates Decade of Progress Clinton Mills of Geneva celebrated its 10th anniversary July 9, 1987, as associ ates, invited guests, business leaders and members of the media participated in a host of birthday activities. President Thad Williams explained much about the company’s history and moderniza tion and investment as civic, business, poli tical and trade association guests listened attentively in an informative program in the Main Office Conference Room. Williams spoke positively about the com pany's original commitment to modernize the facilities despite the possibility of eco nomic risks involved during the subsequent years. The Geneva plants represent an invest ment by the Clinton organization in excess of 52.5 million dollars. Vice President of Manufacturing, J.R. Swetenburg, presented a number of color slides for guests to view as he outlined the operations of the plants. Swetenburg gave production figures, data relating to equipment, and a description of the manufacturing process as the audience got an indepth explanation of Geneva’s im pact on the community, state and industry. General Manager Barry Hooks, who served as master of ceremonies for the occasion, led a group through the plants while others discussed the operations with Clinton offi cials who were present to answer questions about the company and its future. Representing Clinton in the program were President Williams; Vice Presidents Sweten burg, Claude Crocker and Bailey Dixon; for mer Geneva General Manager Ted Daven port; and Director of Employee Communica tions Mack Parsons. ‘A highlight of the birthday celebration was the sharing of the massive birthday cake with associates, free beverage vending, a commemorative t-shirt, and “Since Day One" pens for those associated with the company since July 1, 1977. A special t- shirt day, with approximately 95 percent participating visually, demonstrated the 604 Geneva associates' impact on the com munity and the meaning of the more than $9 million annual payroll.
