Credit Assoc. Tops $1 Million The Clinton Credit Association has exceeded the $1,000,000 deposit mark, according to Manager Harvey Dickert. “Clinton associates have partici pated in the association in a very sup portive manner," noted Dickert. ‘‘Payroll deductions average $46,000 per week. When we add our generous dividend rates and make deductions for loan payments, we still are able to increase our assets at a very acceptable rate." “Our loan demand has exceeded all our expectations," he continued. “Almost 500 loans totaling approxi mately $900,000 have been made to associates to meet their financial requests." The Association has 2,072 mem bers who are finding their account balances growing rapidly because of weekly systematic savings. Members are encouraged to mini mize withdrawals in order to build a large personal account balance. The Credit Association is designed for borrowing and saving, and is not a checking account or Christmas sav ings program. The Association’s Certificates of Deposit offer some of the most attractive dividend rates of any area financial institutions. Associates are encouraged to in crease their savings rates and to transfer idle funds from other sources to the Credit Association in order to take advantage of the gener ous rates offered in both share and certificate accounts. “We need to attract more funds in order to expand our loan program,” explained Dickert. "We can only loan money when we have available funds on deposit. More deposits mean di vidends for savers as well as available funds for loan purposes.” The entire Credit Association staff appreciates the support everyone has iven in order to meet this 1,000,000 milestone in a short period of time." Made in The USA-lt Matters to Miss America It's a natural...Miss America 1987 will don an all-American-made wardrobe and tell everyone she meets, “It matters to me." The Crafted With Pride in U.S.A. Council has announced its sponsorship of the annual Miss America Pageant, to be held in Sep tember, and the selection of Miss America as a spokesperson for the Crafted With Pride Council. “As the personification of uniquely Amer ican style, Miss America is the ideal spokes person," said Bob Swift, executive director of the Council in making the announcement at a news conference in New York. He de scribed the new relationship as “a perfect marriage of interests." The current Miss America, Kellye Cash, was on hand to promote the new role of her successor. “This is a terribly important orga nization, and we're all proud to be working with it. I don't think we could be involved with any organization so important to us and the U.S.," she said. As part of her duties for the Council's “Made in the U.S.A." campaign, the new Miss America will participate in special re tail events in 10 major markets, promoting domestically-produced home textiles and apparel. She will spend 40 days this year and next working with the Council and will spread the “Made in the U.S.A." message in national and local broadcast and print media. Immediately after being named, Miss America will visit New York Cityto choose a new wardrobe of U.S.-made apparel and domestically-produced home textiles to re do her home. “Home textiles will definitely be included," Swift said. “Her home will be refurbished, and that will be used in promo tions to support the people who provide the home furnishings. All of the major domestic mills are involved with the Crafted With Pride campaign." Ready-to-wear apparel chosen by Miss America for her wardrobe will be hang- tagged at retail stores as a “Miss America Choice" said Swift. “We hadn't planned on a hang tag or a sticker for home textiles but that's a possibility," he added.
