formed the committee appointed to
meet with various financial houses
who had expressed a desire to COM

''We have met with several as
sociations from outside,' said JAS

are soliciting and selling stock. We
feel that if outside combinations
can come in and get our money from

building loan society, to be start
ed by ourselves with valley money
and keep the money in the valley.
! This opinion was agreed to by Ca
