A name-brand product does not en-
sure a quality product, reminds Bonnie
Piernot, a family resource
management specialist.
Quality is usually determined by the
durability of a product and its function
rather than form, she adds.
Bro. Bill brought the church van and
drove it, Jean drove her van and we had
a grand time. We only made one wrong
turn and ended up on a dead end trail --
somewhere around Lake Athens. Not
had for amateurs, huh! The flowers
were so pretty. I'm really afraid Sims
and York are going to put me to work
digging flower beds. They kept saying,
"Sure wish our yard was so pretty!"
We topped the trip off with malts for
everyone at the DQ.
We had a crowd of people go with us.
Mr. John Radney, Arthur Hickman,
Edgar Williams, Rosie Houston, Petey
Peters, Edgar Whitely, Ruth Sims,
Pearl Kelley, Frances Reid, Ruby
Taaffe, and Leo York all made the trip
and are a pound or two heavier due to
the malts. Many, many thanks to Bro.
Bill, Jean, and Calvary Baptist Church
for making this trip possible l Sure was
fun.

as volunteer
Mrs. Norma Boaz, retired Malakoff
• resident, has been volunteering her
time and skills to Malakoff Junior High.
i Mrs. Boaz spends one or two afternoons
a week typing for the teachers and
~i doing anything she can to help.
She chose to give her time to the
i Junior High because she enjoys being
i: around students. In the near future, she
plans to share her costly experience
with smoking with the students.
Mrs. Boaz feels strongly that she will
i; have accomplished something worth-
while if only one student benefits from
her experience. Although she is unable
to work full time because of the loss of a
lung, she leads an active life. She bowls,
fishes and works in her garden•

Cattlemen must
realize attitudes
• of beef consumers
Cattlemen must know the changing
needs and attitudes that consumers
have toward beef before they can hope
for beef consumption to increase, says
a food and nutrition specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension Service,
Texas A&M University System.
High prices have forced consumers to
cut back on beef purchases, substitute
cheaper cuts, and buy poultry and fish
rather than beef. Major changes in
society have also affected food con-
sumption, including more items in the
grocery store, changes in llviflg patter-
ns, more older persons, health concerns
and a growing number of vegetarians.

begun in 1386, contains the world's
largest stained glass windows.

We offer checking. And we can
offer it with interest and no monthly
maintenance charges ff you carry the
minimum balance.
Our checking account works just
like a bank's traditional checking
account-- except that the First Savings
Checking Account pays 5V4% interest,
compounded daily. Interest on your
checking -- it's a real plus.
THE DETAILS
By maintaining a minimum monthly
checking balance of 8500 or a minimum
monthly savings balance of 81,000, you
can enjoy a checking account without
having to pay a regular monthly main-
tenance charge. And persons 60 years
of age or older pay no maintenance
charges, regardless of balance. Should
your balance fall below the minimum
requirements, a $7. 50 monthly main-
tenance charge will be assessed. Or, if
you don't wish to maintain the required
balance, First Savings offers interest-
bearing checking accounts at a nominal
monthly fee.
All checking account interest is com-
pounded daily -- that gives you an
effective annual yield of 5.39%. Inter-
est earnings are paid monthly on the
average balance. Your statements will
be marled to you each month with can-
celled checks and all transactions will
be itemized. A 8100 minimum deposit
is required to open an account.
A SENSIBLE WAY TO MAKE MONEY
ON YOUR MONEY
A First Savings Checking Account
works like other checking accounts but
it earns interest like a savings account.
• The larger your balance, the larger
your interest.
• No monthly maintenance charge
when you maintain a 85OO minimum
checking balance.
• No monthly maintenance charge
when you maintain a minimum 81,000
savings balance. ,
• No monthly maintenance charge if
you are 60 years of age or older.
• A monthly statement, with cancelled
checks, showing all your transactions.
• Deposits insured to 8100,000 by FSLIC.
