When questioned ftom the floor ;i on the matter of insurance of ac¬ counts   Mr. Kataaka  s^tid' that,.,. unlike banks, the cMit unlMia ^ '^ not covered by federal depoldt hi-   ' surance   coverage,  nor a   similar coverage which  may be obtained by Savings and Loan Associations. He stated that at one time insur¬ ance such as this had existed but that the company providing it had gone out of business and that the Credit Union was  unable to get this type of insurance. Mr. Kraraka explained ihat   the   local   CracKt Union does have a life insurance plan whereby a loan is paid off in the  event of the death of the borrower and funds in a savings account up to  $1000 are doubled.
The Board of Directors was questioned from the floor as to why the members were not noti¬ fied when the insurance company had gone out of business. It was mentioned by the board members that none of them were on the board at that time and probably those serving had not deemed it necessary to inform the sharehold¬ ers.
Mr.Kramka requested that the shareholders and community get behind their present board of di¬ rectors in this crisis. He stated that the only way the money coold be retrieved and the Credit Union continue is for the citisens of Hnntley to back up their credit union.
The Illinois Credit Union League had purchased $89,000.00 of the bad loans which they felt It was posaible to collect for the sum of $30,000.00. Mr. Kramka SUted that if tiiey had not done Ceatinoed ea Pag« Two
