Crecdit advice In a society where i- flation, unexnployment, soaring interest and mortgage rates are fac- te of -ouf economy, it, is not difficult to see how the average citizen can run into financiai pro- blems. It was due to these ele- mente and others that the Oshawa and District Credit Counsellilîg Ser- vice was first estabiish- ed in 1969. Originaily, volunteers acted* as counseilors.. Today the Oshawa branch empioys five staff members. Two of these are clerical, two' are counseilors, who along with director Nancy Chamberlain, are backed by the ex- pertise of a board of directors. Aithougli some changes have taken place over the years, the basic purpose of the ser- vice remnains the same; to provide credit coun- selling on a free confi- dential basis to, those in need. United' Way shares in this ne.cessary service to the public' in our district. The first interview calling to ask for assist- ance involves an assess- ment of financial status. From this it can be determined wliat steps are to be taken., Some applicants 're-. quire only financial planning or. credit guidance. Others re- quire a counseilor-who willcontact and negoti ate with creditors on be- hall of the client. the ft A 20-year-old Whitby man lias-been charged i connectio.n with an incident outside tlie Royal Hotel Ochiber 4, in which $96 was stolen from a town resident.
