CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 31, 1982 CREDIT UNION continued from Al duce their monthly payments by re-captializing Dre mort- gage.” Elsewhere, Albert Holm, chairman of the credit com- mittee, noted that loans in- crease by 9.4 per cent in 1981 despite record high interest rates. As well, the credit union was successful in at- tracting sufficient deposits to satisfy members, loan re- quirements. Loans for automobile pur- chases and repairs dropped off somewhat from $4.9 mil- lion in 1980 to $3.9 in 1981 — a 19 per cent decrease. However, loans for house- hold appliances went from $359,941 in 1980 to $428,285 last year. As well, home pur- chase and improvement loans increased by more than $1.1 million — from $16.1 million in 1980 to $16.2 mil- lion in 1981. Commercial loans also jumped by more than $1.8 million. . Holm commended credit staff for their work on de- liquent loans, noting delin- quency at year-end was only $224,894 or 8 per cent — compared to nearly .6 per cent in 1980. He said the decrease is in- dicative of how well the credit union is run and said the low delinquency. rate is remarkable for a financial in- stitution of its size. Three credit union board members retired this year, including R.G. Siddall of Trail, Erling Johnson of Nakusp and H. Wenschlag of the Brilliant-Slocan area. Gordon Henke, whose term expired this year, was re-elected to a three-year term by acclamation. Joining Henke on the board this year were new members Dr. Jack Harrigan of Trail, Peter Stoopnikoff of Brilliant-Stocan and Bill Wat- son of Nakusp. All were elected to three- year terms by acclamation. Johnson was awarded with a specially commissioned lim- ited edition print of a pencil drawing of Nakusp by Trail artist Mal Gagnon. Johnson was a charter member of the Trail credit union, and still holds account number one. As well, he was a charter member of the Nakusp credit union and holds account number one there as well, He served on the Kootenay Savings Credit Union board since 1975.
