Salem, Oregon, Monday, February 25, 1957 THE CAPITAL) JOURNAL' Section" l-'-Pafce 3 1 Credit Confab Ends in Salem; Two Adoptions Group to Recommend Kill Resolutions To Legislature The Oregon-Columbia Regional Credit conference, at its conclud ing session here Sunday, adopted a resolution directed against two bills in the Oregon legislature that are considered important to its in terests. One of the measures is House Bill 27S. It would increase wage exemptions for garnishment. The other is Senate Bill 11, which doubles the amount of exemptions on homestead rights against liens or judgments. A general discussion by the 200 persons attending the conference indicated a strong sentiment for credit education for young people as a basis for successful use of a family budget. It was even thought that education along this line would make for domestic happi ness and be a preventive of di vorces. Coming out of the ' conference was a Presidents' council whose members will be the heads of local associations in Oregon and south ern Washington. The Sunday meeting was broken up into discussion groups cover ing many phases of credit and con tract and installment buying. Ver , non Hasmussen of Seattle, presi dent of District 10 of the National Retail Credit association, had much to say in praise of Willam ette Valley locals. Francis W. Smith of Salem urged credit groups to shape their policies to modern trends with much atten tion to the credit needs of the in dividual. Relative to House Bill 275, it was felt that the measure, if passed, would be a hardship on persons de serving credit because it would re move wages as credit criteria. Concerning Senate Bill 11, it was objected to because it would increase the amount of money ex empted from attachment in trans actions such as home selling.
