16 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. A Sunday, Jan. 24, 1960 Savings, Loan Association Notes Increase in '59 The First Federal Savings and Loan association, 29 North Ivy st., Medford, reported record gains in assets, savings and home mortgage volume in 1959, Robert F. Kyle, ex ecutive vice president of the association, has announced. Assets increased by $1,129, 889, a 27 per cent gain, reach ing an all-time high of $5,284, 635, Kyle reported. The gain was due largely to a record volume of home lending. Kyle said the association made 251 loans amounting to $2,251,541, and almost half of the dollar volume of that total was made for construction of new homes. Loans now total $4,640,807, a gain of 29 per cent. Savings Increases Savings increased $740,' 312, a gain of 19 per cent, to a new high of $4,469,099. Kyle noted that the increase in savings was accomplished "in the face of vigorous savings competition, not only from other types of financial insti tutions and the stock market, but also from government securities." Dividend payments to share holders during the year were $161,447, and were figured at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. Additions to reserves were $40,968, and reserves now total $318,531, an in- crease of 14 per cent. ine association last year purchased a lot at 201 West Sixth st., and plans are now being formulated for construc tion of a modern savings and loan office which will provide adequate off-street parking. Occupancy is expected some time in 1961, Kyle said.

Officers reelected recently include Herb Grey, president; John Niedermeyer, vice presi dent, Kyle, executive vice president; John E. Myers, sec retary; and Mary Jane Myers, treasurer. Directors are Grey, Niedermeyer, Myers, Kyle, B. L. (Bud) Nutting and Harry ; C.

Leonard Bear, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bear, In a letter received Jan. 19 by his parents, the young sol dier related some of his ex periences on a trip moving an engineering company from Ft. Sill, Okla., to their new base at Oro Grande range camp in New Mexico. Leonard was driver of the lead truck in a 17-truck U.S. Army convoy making the 700 mile trip. The convoy left Ft. Sill Jan. 5 in a snowstorm and 20-degree weather, and on a road covered with 6 to 8 inches of packed snow. To travel the first 250 miles to their overnight stop at Reese Air Force base at Lubbock, Tex., took 22 hours. "Most of that time," Leon ard wrote, I spent sitting along side the road waiting for the rest of the convoy, for at times I got two or three miles ahead." His was the heaviest truck, a 50-ton vehicle containing engineering equipment to be used on their mission. The only vehicle ahead of him was a jeep carrying the com manding officer, who told Leonard on one of their road side waits, "Everytime I look out the rear window, all I can see are the headlights and radiator of your truck." The last leg of the trip, a 450-mile stretch from Reese AFB to Oro Grande, took 26 hours of steady driving. In a clipping from the Lubbock, Tex., newspaper which the young man inclosed in his letter, it was stated the Lub bock police met the convoy at the outskirts of the city, and led it as it "cautiously made its way over glassy Lubbock streets" en route to its new base. Besides the 17 trucks, the convoy also included 37 men and 10 trailers, and the dis patch from Lubbock stated further that the only "unus ual thing about the convoy was the fact that it encounter ed no trouble in the perilous ice-coated route." secretary - treasurer.
