As winner, Miss MacDonald, a senior, will represent Marysville High School in the DAR Good Citizen Program this year.

He is on the all-state debate team and placed third in the national oratory contest last May. We were surprised when we read in the paper that he had won a $100 prize in an essay contest sponsored by the American By Ann Landers Legion. We didn't even know he had entered! He has already been accepted by Harvard." And so it goes until you could up-chuck.

Next year, Ann Landers, I am I going to send a newsletter to I all the people who have been I sending US newsletters.

Billy has not had a haircut since August and had to hock his guitar to pay for repairing his Honda, which he wrecked. My mother-in-law's annual two-week visit in May turned into two months, and my migraines got so bad I had to go back into therapy. As I write this, the whole family is down with the flu and I don't feel so good myself.

I refer to those individuals who sit down and compose interminable chronicles of the year's activities, have them! mimeographed (usually a poor job) and proceed to send the drivel to everyone whose last name they can spell.

Isn't this the height of egocen-tricity? What makes these people think anyone (save a special few) are interested in wading through all that stuff? For several years, we have been receiving family newsletters and I've had it up to here. I guess what really galls me is the way everyone tries to paint such a glowing picture of affluence and success. I have before me a fistful of chatty little Christmas letters. I'm go ing to lift a few sentences from each to illustrate the point. (The names of persons and organizations have been changed for obvious reasons): "Dear Friends: What a wonderful year we have had! Jim was named vice president of the bank, so we celebrated by buying a Mercedes and taking a trip to the Orient.

In addition to his Boy Scout work, Jim served as chairman of the United Fund drive. He is still on the hospital board and president of Kiwanis. Just for laughs, he played the lead in the Little Theater production last June and everyone said he was better than the star who did it on Broadway. His first love, however, is still conservation and he continues to work hard as chairman of the com mittee to fight Dutch F.lm disease. "After completing my term as Junior League president, 1 swore I would take life easy, but it seems I am more involved than ever.

I accepted the vice presidency of the garden club and am still active in the D.A.R. Our church organist became ill and they asked me to substitute, so I accepted.

Answer: People helping people. A credit union's interest is in YOU, not just in your money. It is concerned not simply with your short-term loan, but with your long-term family welfare. A credit union is in business to help its members. It is owned by its members.

That's why loans usually cost less at a credit union because there's no point in charging yourself high interest rates. That's why credit unions pay generous dividends because ALL dividends go back to the members. That's why credit unions provide life insurance with your savings and life insurance on loans as an extra dividend at no extra cost. Credit unions help provide the security you need help safeguard your family's future. Over a million and a half people in Michigan now belong.

Isn't it time YOU joined? For more information, contact the C.U. where you work or the one In your parish or neighborhood or write Blue Water Chapter of Credit Unions, P.O. Box 966, Port Huron, Mich. 48060. IT PAYS TO SAVE OR BORROW AT YOUR CREDIT UNION.
