Pinckney N. Abrams, secretary- treasurer of The State Building & Loan Association of Newberry and president of the league comment ed on the conference: “It is through meetings of this type, ones in which the individual asso ciation manager can draw on the experience and knowledge of oth ers similarly situated, that we in the savings and loan industry can continue to be a vital part of the economic growth of South Caro lina. As the largest home financ ing industry in this state, we have a challenge and a duty to better provide ample mortgage funds for the population of our state. Fur ther, our mutual institutions, in offering a means for the public to save with the utmost safety with a generous return on these sav ings, con stimulate the flow of mo ney in the business cycle, thereby bringing about a higher degree of economic activity than would oth erwise be possible.” Attending the conference from this area were George K.
