Dear Family,
Yesterday I went downtown, into Newberg. It is simply one main street which goes down about 10 blocks. There is a Sears & Montgomery Wards mail order places. Also a Penney's store -- about the size of the one in Washington, C.H.
I checked the banks out and the rates are both the same. I decided not to start a checking account! Low cost checking account 12¢ per check -- but you can't write more than 15 checks a month. I put $100.00 in Savings Account -- but if you make more than 3 withdrawals in less than 90 days it cost 50¢ for a withdrawal. If I want to withdraw more than 3 times, I'll just take it all out and start a new account. Umm --
Today we are taking more tests. ACT tests. A bunch of kids got out of it because they already had taken it.
Newberg has 5,200 people -- according to the sign below the Corp. limit.
I may not be able to get a job because of some Gov't something. Also you're suppose to be in desperate need of it. Anyway, I'm suppose to go see the financial aid man after I get my schedule -- which will be Saturday morning. Oh, well.
I just got back from my mail box. I got your post-card. Thanks alot.
This Oregon life is Cold!
Last night we had a tour or what-ever of the library. It is very nice. They have a special "Quaker Room" -- wonder why??
Well. I've got to go.
Love,
Roberta
