Hearing Aid
Bill Debated in
Senate Committee
Salem -CPD- Pros and cons
of a bill to regulate sale and
fitting of hearing aids in Ore
gon were heard this week be
fore the Senate State and Fed
eral Affairs Committee. The
committee took no action on
the House-approved measure.
Leo Smith, Portland attor
ney supporting the bill, said
it was directed against the
door-to-door peddler who goes
into rural areas and sells aids.
Amendments Suggested
John Beaty, attorney rep
resenting the industry, said
the industry did not wish to
delay passage of hearing aid
legislation. Among amend
ments he suggested were re
quiring of licenses ' for both
the seller and fitter of aids
and elimination of a section
of the bill barring advertise
ments by dealers.
The committee tabled a bill
dubbed "Big Bertha," which
had as its main objective the
holding of all special elections
on the same date as primary
and general elections.
Bargaining Bill Approved
A bill allowing employees
of the state to bargain collec
tively on wages or conditions
of employment was approved.
The Committee amended a
Ways and Means bill outlining
appropriations for the state
college experiment stations
which would prevent tunnel

channels. Sen. Jean Lewis (D
Portland) said the aim was to
make sure every experiment
station would get the entire
amount allowed by the Legis
lature. Two years ago it was
discovered some funds allo
cated had been shifted into
other enterprises, she said. .

You can enjoy the equivalent of money in the bank without depositing a penny!
U. S. National's revolutionary CUSTOM CREDIT gives you a personal line of
credit at the bank that you may draw upon whenever you wish . . . simply by
writing a check. The total amount of your CUSTOM CREDIT may be $400,
$600, $800, $1000 any amount agreed upon by you and the bank. CUSTOM
CREDIT costs you nothing unless you use it. Then you repay only the amount
used, plus interest, in easy monthly installments.
Custom Credit buys anything!
Custom Credit is yours to spend for any purpose ... any time! Think of the
convenience of paying for vacations, tuition, taxes, dental and medical expenses,
auto repairs to name just a few without digging into your hard-earned savings.
If you don't use your line of Custom Credit, it costs you nothing yet it's always
there if you need k.
n
o
Here's how it works
Your line of Custom Credit is easy to arrange. You and the bank simply agree
upon the amount that you can conveniently repay each month, over a 20-month
period. The total amount of your- Custom Credit is then based upon 20 times
the agreed-upon monthly repayment (example: monthly repayment of $30,
times 20 $600 of Custom Credit). You can start using your Custom Credit the
moment your application is approved. You pay nothing until you draw upon
your line of Custom Credit by writing one or more checks. Then you pay only
the monthly amount agreed upon, which will include the interest charge plus
25c for each check paid. Monthly interest is charged on only the amount used at
$1.25 per hundred dollars for the first $500, and 83'3 cents per hundred dollars
for amounts above that. When the, amount used is less than youf monthly
installment, you pay only that amount, plus interest. If you write no Custom
Credit checks in any month, and have no balance due, you do not make a pay
ment. You need never pay more than your agreed-upon monthly installment,
even though you may write checks for your entire line of credit. You may make
larger payments than arranged for, or repay the entire amount owing, without
penalty.
A revolving line of credit!
You constantly rebuild your Custom Credit by making agreed-upon monthly
payments. You do not have to repay the full amount used in order to writ
additional checks. As long as payments are kept up, you are entitled to spend the
difference between what you owe and your total line of Custom Credit.
You get a monthly statement
You select the monthly payment date most convenient for yon. Approximately
10 days before a payment is due, the bank will mail you a detailed statement
showing the payment due, interest charge, amounts of checks paid, any payments
made and the amount of Custom Credit sfill available for your use.
Your family is protected
Life insurance is carried on the amount of Custom Credit you owe the bank, at
no cost to you.. In the event of. death, any amount owing is automatically
cancelled by the bank.
Anyone may apply
You do not have to be a U. S. National customer to establish a line of Custom
Credit. The only requirement is a satisfactory credit rating. You make only en
application, because Custom Credit is a revolving line of bank credit which may
be used indefinitely.
Your total line of Custom Credit is based upon the monthly amount you arrange
to repay the bank, over a 20-month period. Use the four examples in the table?
below as a guide.
