A REPORT OF CREDIT UNION
A WORD ABOUT YARNS
By JAS. J. GRIFFITH, Purchasing Agent
North Carolina
DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
Raleigh
July 26, 1945
To the Officers and Directors,
Melrose-Glenn Credit Union
Gentlemen: -
We have made an examination
of the records of the Melrose-
Glenn Credit Union as at June
21, 1945, and submit herewith our
report covering same.
Comments on Balance herns
Cash—$1,140.62—^The bank was
called for statement at date of
examination, and the reconciled
balance was found to be correct
as shown.
Loans — $3,372.65 — A schedule
of loans outstanding at June 21,
1945, was prepared, the tfttal of
which agrees with the figures
stated above. All notes were ex
amined.
Shares—$4,340.85— A schedule
of shares at June 21, 1945, was
prepared, the total of which a-
grees with the figures stated a-
bove.
We found all of the books and
records of this credit union to be
in proper order, and all funds
properly accounted for. In our
opinion the attached balance
sheet fairly presents the financial
position of the Melrose-Glenn
Credit Union at June 21, 1945. ~
It is exceedingly fortunate that
the employees of Melrose and
Glenn Hosiery Mills have a rap
idly growing credit union in which
they may deposit their savings
and from which they may borrow
to take care of their needs since
the new law regulating lending
agencies goes into effect July 1,
1945. After July 1st, all individ
uals and organizations lending
money, with the exception of
credit unions, banks and automo
bile finance companies, will be re
quired to register with the Com
missioner of Banks and comply
with such rules and regulations
and pay such fees as are required
by the Commissioner of Banks.
The Banking Department has
put on a number of new men, and
it is my understanding that the

The word “Yarn” is used and
applied to all categories of
threads; silk, wool, cotton, ray
on (Vicose and Acetate) and
what not. So in speaking of yam,
it may mean any of the above
fibers. In the olden days when
as a kid we used to put our hands
through a hank (skein) of yarn
for our mothers to wind into a
ball for hand knitting, we thought
of yarn as wool only. Today, it
is all yarn, regardless of the na
ture, twist or ply.
Silk, cotton, and wool for a
good many years were the basic
yarns used in garments of all de
scriptions, but since the advent
of chemistry into the textile field
we now have a number of syn
thetic or chemically made yarns
which have and are I’evolutioniz-
ing the textile field. These syn
thetic yarns, while having been
in use for the last few years, are
still in their infancy, if we are
to believe the rumors among the
trade coming from the research
laboratories. Too, we know for
a fact, strong rayon tire yarn is
claimed to be better and have less
friction than cotton yarns pre-
viousily used. Then we have the
“High Tenacity” Rayon in the
finer deniers that has been bene
ficial in fabrics using comparable
sizes. Nylon, as we all know,
threatens to replace silk entirely
in a good many fabrics formerly
using silk as well as entering in
to entirely new fields of indus
try.
There are a number of other
new yarns that will be put on
the market as soon as the war is
over and yarn manufacturers are
allowed to produce their new
creations which are claimed to
be more durable and flexible in
a great many respects—all great
improvements over our present
standards.
With these new creations in the
yarn field being initiated, the
manufacturer who is pi’ogressive
will have to be on his toes to
keep abreast of the times and
