ECHO LAKE
 RAINBOW PLANTS NOW l7-INCH SIZE

The trout were samples talk en from Echo Lake which the department had planted about IF months ago. The largest was 1712 inches long, with the balance run ming around IS inches. 'This is the best sampling we've had from any of our plants, McRae stat ed. The lake will be open for fishing next spring, he said.
 Other sampling from Rocky Lake, in the Pittman area, were just as gratifying, he said. Altho- ugh smaller in length, the fish are younger than those in Echo lake and are expected to run about as large as the Echo lake fish.
 Some of the money for this planting program is obtained from the sports fishing license stamp which is required to be purchased by all who buy a fish ing license

 Meeting with the board of the local Credit Union on WedneS- lay, Marshal complimented the group on it's rate of growth the past year as evidenced by in creases in savir gs, loans and members.
 There are now 25 Credit Un- ions in the territory, with ap- proximately S2 million in savings. Marshall recommended the group sponsor a publicity program to explain the MVFCU services to valley residents.
 Today, October 21, has been officially designated as Interna- tional Credit Union Day. There are now over 19,000 credit unions with nine million members thro- oughout the world. Canada and the United States have over three quarters of the membership.
 One of the principal features of the credit union savings, H. P. Gazaway, publicity chairman pointed out, is the free life in surance coverage given each member in the amount of his sav- l ings, up to S1,000. Another I major benefit for members is the convenience of obtaining a loan at any time, he pointed out The interest rate paid by members on loans is one percent per month on the unpaid balance.
 Monday night of this week board members announced a pro- gram for extending benefits of membership to all interested peo- pie in the Valley. It has been gen. orally believed, Gazaway said, that membership was limited, pri- marily, to employees and mem bers of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co-Operating Associa- tion.
