It was held at the Yacht Club in Virginia Beach — an ideal spot for the occasion. The floor show put on by members of the staff was equal to if not better than the “Beatles” of last season. This time they did a pantomime on Lawrence Welk’s orchestra as re corded by Stan Frieburg. It was well done. A fifteen minute film entitled “It Can Be Done With One” was shown. All characters in this film were portrayed by one person, that being Bob Wyle of ORF-F. You will have to see it to appreciate the work that went into the filming by Charlie Cross, Art Whittaker, and others. Sunday, October 11, the “Blue Angels” will put on a show here at Smith Reynolds Airport. In doing so it will be necessary to divert flights 502, 41, and 46 into GSO due to this airport’s being closed from 1400 to 1515. Be sure all passengers are advised so they may board their flights at GSO instead of INT on this date. We have just received a little homespun philosophy from Ray Norris, TRI: “By the time a man has money to burn, the fire has gone out.” Speak for yourself, Ray. FOOL — one who knows not, and knows not that he knows not. EXECUTIVE ABILITY — deciding quickly and getting some one else to do the work. Your Vote Makes A Difference Amid the excitement and con fusion which accompanied Barry Goldwater’s arrival at the Smith Reynolds Airport in Winston- Salem September 15, several things impressed me as being particularly significant. The crowd’s enthusiasm was similar to that of an aroused group of football fans anticipat ing an exciting game. In fact, the man selling Goldwater hats might have been selling pen nants for the Duke Blue Devils. Cameras were held ready for the celebrity’s arrival. Several fath ers had placed their respective four and five year old sons and daughters atop the brick wall that separates the ramp from the walkways. Inevitably one Holloween Is A Special Time Halloween is pumpkins and witches on brooms and hot chocolate and neat piles of leaves and midnight and ... a feeling. It’s the one night of the year when ghosts really do appear and black cats can bring bad luck. Logic is cast aside and re placed by the black sciences. Imagination reigns and in the midst of the 20th century, skepticism can carry the mind over that in visible gap between the natural and the supernatural. It must be that in 1964 Halloween is a sad time, though. Witches are withering because people laugh at their broomsticks. They are threatened by supersonic jets and Piper Cubs and Martin 404’s and F-27’s. Ghosts are becoming fainter and fainter — people ignore their ghosting and pass of chain-rattling as “only the wind.” And ghouls . . . well, ghouls are not even re membered anymore . . . they sit and moan in loneliness as the forgotten demons. The black cat hag lost his dignity . . . and the pumpkin doesn’t scare anyone. The saddest sight of all, however, is the neat pile of leaves sitting by your front porch, passed daily and ignored. Whatever happened to the long forgotten delight in conquering 10,000 dead dry leaves, and to the firm conviction that witches and fairies maintain the balance of good and evil in the world. Halloween is this month. It’s a time for pumpkins and witches on broomsticks and hot chocolate and a neat pile of leaves and midnight . . . and a feeling. B. N. Evans, GSB 1 J. K. Gray, INT 1 D. L.

Wingfield, INT 24 (Continued on Page Five) blonde-headed girl with a Dutch- boy haircut screamed loudly be cause her older brother had a better view. Needless to say, the youngsters were more fasci nated by the big super-jet than by its famous passenger. The grown-ups in the crowd, however, had come to see the man who iterates their own po litical ideology. They cheered him, waved banners bearing his name, and sent him on his way with cries of “We want Barry!” It was then that I was struck by a more compelling thought than the candidate himself, or, for that matter, any candidate. All of us who were present were witnessing another of the Ameri can privileges—the privilege of choice, and the right of free speech. This was our freedom in action—not in the pages of some long-forgotten history book. Where else, I asked myself, can a man, be he right or wrong, openly acclaim a candidate and a platform opposed to that of the existing powers? Where else can a man candidly give sup port to a candidate for the high est office in the country, then sit down to a friendly lunch with a man who supports the oppos ing candidate and platform? It’s a rich and unique heritage that we North Americans share. Of course, there are flaws, loop holes and inefficiencies in our government. But where else could I print those very words without fear of retribution? As a government by the people, those very loopholes are our re sponsibility. We have a voice— and it is up to us to protect that voice. It has been said that our rights were not won easily. They cost much in terms of life as well as property. They will not be kept without effort. Just as unused muscles deteriorate and grow flabby, so will our rights, if unexercised, become weak and meaningless. It is to this end—that of protecting our heritage—that we must use our voice. We must study the issues, we must reach our own conclu sions, we must let our represen tatives know how we feel. And above all, we must vote. To vote in the November 3 general election, you must reg ister by the date set by your county. In North Carolina, reg istration requirements are as follows: 1. You must be a citizen of the United States by birth or natur alization. 2. You must be 21 years by date of general election. 3. You must be a resident of North Carolina for one year and a resident of the precinct in which you live for 30 days prior to the general election. 4. You must be of sound mind and able to read and write any section of the state constitution in the English language. The above requirements are similar to those for most states. To obtain specific details and further information concerning the times and places for regis tering and voting, contact your local Board of Elections or your County Courthouse. Everybody’s Money by Freda Zappia The following are common questions which arise in a prospective member’s mind. They are restated here, together with the appropri ate answers. Q. What is a share account? A. A share account is the money you put in the Credit Union. It makes you a shareholder, or owner. Your share savings pro vide money for loans and earn you good dividends at the same time. If you need ready cash you can withdraw the money. You have one share for each $5.00 you have in the Credit Union. The dividends are computed on the number of shares held. t Q. Is my money safe? ■ A. Just remember that most of the money in the Credit Union is invested in loans to members. There is no better in vestment. We also have other safeguards such as (1) the Credit Union is subject to one outside surprise audit each year from the State of North Carolina; (2) we are also audited by our Supervisory Committee; ('3) we are required by law to estab lish and maintain an adequate reserve fund for bad debts, and (4) we are bonded by CUNA Mutual Insurance Company. Q. Is there a limit on the amount that may be saved? | A. Yes. Maximum per family is $10,000.00. ! Q. What evidence is furnished me of my share and loan balance and payments? A. Semi-annual statements are prepared for each member, showing all transactions for the period covered. There are a lot of ways to save money and one of them is to get the best rates when it is necessary to borrow. Small loan companies spend a great deal of money on advertising. Why? Because they make enough money to cover such expenditures in interest from you, the borrower. Why do they have to charge higher interest raies? Because they have to operate at a profit for their owners. We, the Credit Union, are a non-profit or ganization. There are many types of interest rates — straight 6 per cent, 6 per cent discount, and so on. But there is only one way to properly evaluate the cost of a loan — in dollars! How many dollars does it cost me to borrow “X” number of dollars for so many months? You will be surprised at the wide difference in cost at various lending agencies. What about store credit and revolving charge accounts? In too many cases more profit is derived from interest than on the goods or merchandise being sold. A refrigerator, for example, costing $329 and financed for 24 months could very easily cost the purchaser an extra $66 for the credit. Most department stores revolving credit plan interest rates run at least 18 per cent when figured on a yearly basis. Their credit business has now become a substantial- source of profits. More questions' and answers in your next issue of the Piedmonitor. JOIN AND USE YOUR CREDIT UNION.
