Baldock, State Highway Engineer, advises that the State High way Department will show on each payroll check the amount of each of the several deductions made for such items as federal withholding tax, bond pur chases, industrial accident insurance, hospital association fees, etc. Unless unexpected difficulties or de lays in printing develop, the showing of these deductions will begin May 1. This arrangement was made in re sponse to a resolution adopted at the Oregon State Employees General Coun cil meeting on December 2-3, 1944. All employees except wardens of the California State prisons came within civil service jurisdiction on January 1, 1945. The extension of civil service to this group of employees was a result of a law enacted by the 1944 state legislature revising the state’s entire penal system. The 9,000 active credit unions in the United States made more than one and one half million loans to their three million members in 1943, amounting to considerably over 211 million dollars, according to a study made by the Bur eau of Labor Statistics. Total assets of these cooperative credit associations amounted to nearly 362 million dollars.
