He said he does not know why
the $1.3-million application for a
20-class room school was turned
down.
“I don’t know whether there’s
any hope or not but our ap
plication is still on the active list
and I understand there will be a
lot of money when Mr. Carter
gets to Washington. We plan to
leave it in,” he said.
We listed some six other
Georgia school systems which
received grants totaling more
than $7-million.
Although no reason was given
for not approving the ap
plication, the projects depend
upon unemployment and
Spalding County’s unemploy
ment rate is down, he con
tinued.
The school calendar was
revised to make up the day lost
on Jan. 3 when classes closed
due to icy weather.
Students will report on March
4, the last day of the second
quarter, which was to have been
a holiday for them and a work
day for teachers. Teachers will
make up their day on June 9.
According to state require
ments, 180 full school days must
be held or the system will lose
some of its state funds. Money
would be lost even if school
dismissed a few hours early,
Christie explained.
Permission to use school
facilities was given to three
groups.
The Kiwanis Club of Griffin
got free use of the Griffin High
cafeteria on Saturday, Feb. 9
for its pancake sale.
The Girl Scouts may use the
practice field at Griffin High

High School Unit 1, if the

auditorium and five classrooms
for its annual dance recital on
June 9, 10 and 11.

First Federal Savings and

News.

assets at year end were
Griffin Federal
assets up 19 pct.
Assets of Griffin Federal
Savings and Loan Association
at the end of 1976 reached $33-
million. President Bill Ramsey
said this was an encouraging 19

depositors, over $1.5-million
and added $160,000 to its
reserves, bringing the total
reserves up to $1,300,000.
“Savings deposits from our
customers during 1976
amounted to a record $4%-
million,” President Ramsey

$32,171,860. This was a net in
crease during the year of
$4,724,232.
Also there was a net increase
in loans made by the association
of $3,223,677.
And the association paid
member-depositors total in
terest of $1,780,182.
deposits allowed us to take care
of the needs of our local
mortgage market. As 1976 went
forward the housing market in
this area picked up to a marked
degree, showing that much of
the uncertainty on the part of
the public had been replaced by
a feeling of cautious optimism.
“Looking forward to 1977 it is
likely that savings deposits will
continue to come in good
quantity and thus will be able to
support what should be a year of
even further improvement in
the housing market.”
Ramsey said that in 1976
Griffin Federal financed a total
of 250 homes and apartments in
and around Griffin and
Jackson. The total mortgage
loans made during the year
amounted to 270 for a total
dollar volume of $8 million.
“During 1976 and continuing
into 1977 our savings accounts
and certificates of deposit bear
the highest rates in our
history,” Ramsey said.
“Last year was an excellent
year for the association, and as
it looks right now, 1977 should
also turn out to be a year of
continued progress.”
