Over The Tee Cup By MARIE McOOARRIE There weren't any clean pret IV brown fortune lea leaven in our cup this week. Rather It was sticks and stones, silt, Kilt silt, Iocs, uraw and a horrible odor of the barnyard. You can always sav. though, "it could have been worse." and It really could. The tractor, mowers and a half own ed areator could easily have floated away. The uribble fam ily's coif cart could easily have been a "mud-buggy ', as it had been parked in the space under the porch, which was literally filled with muck and water. Luckllv Grib moved It before the storm hit. One little note of Irony Thursday B F (Before Hood) this "Tee-Cup" writer had sent a letter to Stan Federman, feat ure editor of the Oregonian, tellinc him the Willow Creeek Country Club was In beautiful shape and the time was right lor him to come to Heppner, take pictures and write an art ic-le on our golf course for the magazine section of the Sun fay paper. We have been wait ing two years for this "right time." Guess he will have to make the trip another year, or maybe later in the season. There isn't enough praise In the book for the good fellows and gals) that have worked most daylight hours cleaning up the mess. No names will be mentioned, as those that have worked know who they are and mav take the honors. One man, out of his own pocket, hired some boys for two days to help him clean the putting green and No. 2 fairway. Thanks. There are those who enjoy the golf course, but haven't lifted a hand to help, even if they had a spare hour or two. Of course, some couldn t because of their own messes at home and that Is understandable, but others could have helped also After this appears in the Hepp ner Gazette-Times, there will still be lots of work to be done, so get your little selves and your rake down there and be In the first class.

LJf 5w Fot years, people have been saving in sugar bowls, knowing deep down that they aren't the best place to keep their money. We've always wondered why. Because saving at First National is much safer. It s easy (we have 117 branches). Savings can be 5 sweeter at First. And we have a savings program for everyone. Take our "90-DAY PASSBOOK TIME ACCOUNT," for example. To start one, all you need is $500. From then on your money earns 5 interest. You're able to keep it growing with deposits of $50 or more. And your money is readily available to you after 90 days by withdrawing it within 10 calendar days following the end of a calendar quarter. Or, by giving us a 90-day written withdrawal notice. DEPOSIT CERTIFICATES also make your savings 5 sweeter. These certificates are something you actually buy. They can be issued for as little as $500 and as much as $100,000. The "6-MONTH DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE" pays 5 interest yearly and matures in just 6 months. You can easily arrange for automatic renewal at the end of this period. The "2-YEAR INCOME CERTIFICATE" guarantees you 5 interest which is paid by check or deposited to your account each quarter. If you let this interest add up and compound quarterly for 2 years, the return on your original investment is actually 5.22 . And now, all new certificates (issued after March 28, 1969) may be cashed by giving us a written 90-day withdrawal notice. Another bad thing about saving in sugar bowls is that it s so easy to cheat. You grab a few dollars here and there. And pretty soon there's no money left to save. That's why we developed SAVE-O-MATIGIt's a special program that, for the first time, actually makes it easy to save money. With Save-o-Matic, an agreed upon amount of money is automatically transferred each month from your checking account to your passbook savings account. What could be easier? There's also the regular "PASSBOOK SAVINGS" that's familiar to everyone. In addition to earning regular interest, such savings traditionally are payable without advance notice. So stop in to find out more about our savings programs. Better yet, bring in your sugar bowls, and we'll start sweetening them up right away.
