The first ’‘modern” prototype of
the savings and loan association
as we know it was born in Bir
mingham, England, back in
1781. It was called a building I
society. sociation It of was a small a voluntary number as- of 1
people who got together to pool their savings, with
the idea of enabling each member in turn to borrow
from this “pool” to build a house.
Why weren’t there any savings and loan societies be
fore this? Mainly because so many people lived in
agricultural life. They often built their own dwellings,
alone or with the help of neighbors. And they never
had much in the way of cash savings.
The Industrial revolution changed all that. It brought
people flocking to the cities, where a new worker
class grew up. That’s when the need for a financial in
stitution where a man could put aside small amounts
of savings became acute. Linking this savings idea to
the need for help in financing a home the coopera
tive savings and loan association was bom.
Today more than ever our savings and loan associa
tion can play an important role in your life . . . en
abling your savings to build rapidly, earning high
dividends, and providing the financing needed when
you buy or build a home. Why not start your account

Here Tonight
“Larry Webb showed me some
moves tonight that I didn’t
know he had,” one avid Griffin
basketball fan said Friday night.
That was the general opinion
of nearly every fan after they
watched the 6-7 center stuff 30
points to lead the Eagles to an
impressive 61-56 victory over a
powerful Forest Park squad.
Webb scorecr every possible
way. He made tipins, layups, hit
from the outside and was dead
ly from the free throw line.
"I kept waiting for him to
miss,” the Forest Park coach
said. “But he never stopped hit
ting.”
“Webb, Tom Richardson of
Forest Park and Bobby York of
Milner are the most underrated
big men in this area,” he said.
Another Griffin player drew
praise from the Forest Park
coach.
‘‘Richard Turner is great. He’s
another underrated player. Did
you see him take that pot shot
from the corner?” he asked.
Then the coach went to t h e
corner and demonstrated how
Turner helped Griffin beat the
Panthers.
“He just popped the shot in
like it was nothing.
“We had a one point lead at
the time,” the Coach explained.
“If he misses the shot, we have
the ball and a one point lead.
We had two boys in good reboun
ding position. But he didn’t miss.
He made the shot on nerve.”
Both coaches praised their

Ahead In
San Diego
By JOE SARGIS
UPI Sports Writer
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.
(UPI) —Jack Nicklaus, the
victim of a big blowup on the
back nine at Cypress Point
Friday, set out to protect a slim
two-stroke lead today in the
third round of the $100,000 Bing
Crosby National Pro-Am Golf
Tournament.
Due to the weather, what
started out as a near spectacu
lar round wound up as a one
over-par 32-41—142, but It was
enough to give Nicklaus a two
stroke lead over four other
with two rounds still to go.
“I’ll take that 73 and won’t
complain one bit,” said Nick
laus. “It could be a whole lot
worse before this tourney is
over. While none of us like the
wind —and rain —you just have
to adjust to the conditions.”
Only two players in the pro
field of 168 — Frank Boynton
and Dow Finsterwald —broke
par in the second round, but
both posted 71s but some two
hours before Nicklaus tackled
the back nine there.
Nicklaus, the third leading all
time money winner behind
Arnold Palmer and Billy
Casper, was five under after 14
holes and then took double
bogeys on 15, 16 and 17 to
cancel out five birdies on the
front nine.
However, what happened to
him was nothing compared with
poor Joe Carr, who skied to a
41-41—82 at Spyglass Hill and
fell eight strokes off the pace
after holding the first-round
lead with a 68 Thursday.
