NRCA To Certify
Consumer Credit
Managers In u. S

William III. Blake, Executive Vice
President, National Retail Credit
Association, st. Louis, this week
announced the Associations pro-
gram for certifying of consumer
credit managers as its first step in
long-range program to improve
the status of consumer credit man
agement In this country.
The certification plan was in
troduced TO the NRCA member
ship in the January, 1861, Credit
World, the Associations official
monthly publication. Basically, to
qualify for a CCCE certificate, a
consumer credit manager must pre-
sent satisfactory evidence of acade-
mic training, successful and ethical
credit experience, community sta
ture, and active participation in
professional associations.
Consumer credit operations have
gone through many changes in the
past so years." states Blake, land
SO has the position of consumer
credit manager. We have seen him
emerge from the status of a super
@icA iSdi CilplOgCc " tildl VI a QI
fessional executive skilled in fami-
ly financial management, as well
as an adviser to business manage
ment."
The modern American family
looks to the consumer credit execu-
tive to guide them in their finan-
cial affairs. in much the same man
ner as the businessman turns to
his banker for commercial credit
counseling. Today's consumer Gre
dit managers must be well qualified
to accept the responsibility that
has been entrusted to them. To as
sure the public that they are deal
ing with responsible and ethical
executives, NRCA has developed
its professional .certification pro-
gram.
The ethics of consumer credit
operations are currently under con-
sideration by both state and nat
ional legislative bodies" Blake
noted. "NRCA desires to work
closely with state and national
governmental bodies TO promote
sound consumer credit and to build
better America in which all may
live, work, grow, and prosper"

continued from page one)

In Delaware. as i'm the entire nat

Blanket Bargains

Ever heard yourself say, II
can't afford to pass up this blan-
ket sale" as you stumbled upon
what appeared TO be real buy.
But was il buy or was it just
an inferior quality blanket selling
for what appeared to be a reduc-
ed price" asks Miss Janet Reed.
extension clothing specialist at the
University of Delaware?
"The wide variety of blankets
available today may bewilder even
the most experienced shopper. so
blanket shoppers be wary" warns
Miss Reed.
Understanding the properties of
blanket fibers will help you select
a blanket that will suit your needs.
Woolen blankets give exception
al warmth and long wear They
are easily cared for but may not
have mothproof finish. Blankets
made from acrylic fibers such as
Acrilan, Orion and GRESHAM are
lightweight. mothproof, long wear
ing and give good warmth. Rayon
blankets are lightweight. soft.
and less costly than pure wool or
acrylic fiber blankets. but they
won't maintain their appearance
or wear as we'll as other types. Re
gardless OF fiber content of the
blanket. the thickness OF the nap
is an indication OF warmth.
Look for a firmly-woven blan-
ket with a thick nap" advises Miss
Reed. You can easily determine
the firmness of weave by holding
a small section of the blanket up
to the light to see how close to-
gether the threads are.
Blanket bindings are generally
made of nylon or acetate. Acetate
bindings may be more lustrous
and softer than nylon ones but
nylon bindings will wear longer.
BE sure the blankets you buy
are large enough TO stay firmly
tucked underneath the mattress
A blanket. 72"x9O". can usually be
used on either a twin and double
size bed. Blankets for king-size
beds may have to be ordered
specially.
III you're purchasing an electric
blanket. be certain the Underwrit-
ers' Laboratories Seal Is attached.
1t assures you that the blanket Is
safe 10 use.

From Small
Beginnings

A leading electric utility head
quartered at Portland, Oregon,
whose service extends to five
states. recently celebrated its 50th
Anniversary. Its story is one of
very small beginnings, of the
meeting and solving of problems,
of constant increases in demand,
improvements in service and re-
ductions in rates.-and of steady,
often dramatic progress in every
phase of operation. It's also a story
that has no foreseeable ending.
The once-tiny utility launched by
handful of courageous investors
has become a big one. and its
obligations and responsibilities
have grown accordingly. But the
principles which underlie its op-
erations remain the same. IL must
keep up with the amazing tech
biological progress of our time. II
must look ahead to the expected
power demands of quarter-cen-
tury hence and be ready to meet
them. II is deep In research, with
a scientific team that includes
geologists, acquatic biologists. che
micial and petroleum engineers.
and a nuclear engineering special
ist All of these diverse sciences
bear. in one way or another, on
It's relationship with the. people of
the region. and with the Job it is
doing and will have to do.
IL Is noteworthy that the company
has not concentrated on service in
congested residential and indus
trial markets. In fact, ii was a
pioneer in the rural electrification
movement in an era when this was
very much of an economic ques-
ton mark Even today more than
four-fifths of its distribution cir
cults are serving rural areas. One
of them carries the distinctive
and descriptive name of Moo
