Durren's report continued, "Among records set this past year; our Mortgage department made loans totaling over 10 million for the year making a total mortgage portfolio of over $52,193,000.

Forty-five per cent of these mortgages were insured by a government agency, either the FHA or the VA for added safety and protection of our savings members. "The savings department also set a new record with an increase in savings of creating an all-time high of $54,820,274.21 in savings. "Dividends paid in 1970 amounted to $2,634,846.47 which is also a record high. This amounts to $7,218 paid savers eac and every day during the year. In addition to this, Peoples Savings will pay the intangible Tax on savings again for 1970.

"During the year we saw new developments in the savings market with open passbook -rates increasing to 5 per cent, the 90 day notice account rate, to 5V4 per cent and the three and six month certificate rate at 5V4 per cent; also one year certificates were issued at 5 per cent and two year certifi-1 cates at 6 per cent. "These new rates and types of savings programs were made possible by new government regulations in the early part of 1970. and, as before, Peoples Savings was the first to adopt there new program in Berrien county and is the only Savings and Loan Association in the county offering all the plans at the highest possible rates allowed by law. "As good news to prospective home buyers, the last part of 1970 and early 1971 have shown the start of a decline in interest rates and it is hoped that this trend will continue so as to help the home construction industry."

He asked if white parents were willing to sit down with blacks and drew applause from whites. As a result, a large number signed up indicating they were willing to work together on an inter-racial basis to try arid resolve the district's problems. Robert Doner, a former president of the CAC, said later the council has been trying four years to get blacks involved and last night's 'response was the biggest. A black woman, who declined to give her name, said: "Before we send our children back into the same tiling there will be no school." She, demanded all charges be dropped against students arrested Friday, no further arrests and no reprisals.

She also asked -for the school board to completely implement the "over due debts" presented by blacks last month. URGES BOYCOTT Bishop urged parents to "pull every kid out of Xhe school system until our demands are met." Parents were asked to leave their children at home and be at the high school at 6:30 a.m. today for "a prayer meeting." Bishop and some 200 blacks went to the CAC meeting after appearing before the city commission where he demanded suspension of a police officer for allegedly beating a 16-year-old girl during last Friday's riot Bishop did not name the officer or the alleged victim. He gave the commission two weeks tc act on the suspension. Police were accused by Bishop of picking on the smallest students.

He said vandalism "at" the school was wrong but added, "Two wrongs don't add up to a right." During questioning of Hartenbach at the CAC meeting, a black woman wanted to know how teachers could identify student rioters in the halls if teachers were in their classrooms with doors shut. James Griffin, a black, and vice president of the CAC, said the meeting was not for the purpose ot a rearess ui ances and tne ua auviauiy with no official power. "There were shouts oi gei the power here." Bishop called for Supt. Mar Lewis saying Diacas want to see the man we're paying $26,000 a year."

Swiss Studying Plane, Train Accidents ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) Swiss officials opened investigations today into a plane crash and a train collision that took the lives of 41 persons. Thirty-five were killed in the crash of a four-engine' Bulgarian airliner when it hit a hill as it was making an instrument landing at Zurich.

The child was thrown clear when the fuselage of the turboprop Ilyushin 18 broke apart and burst into flames. The boy received multiple fractures, but the airline said he was off the critical list today. The plane was en route front Paris to Sofia. Six peisons were killed and nine critically injured when two commuter trains crashed head- on near meilen, 12 miles south east of Zurich.
