Leslie Combs Foster says local chapters will soon learn their quotas to meet the Virginia goal.

Federal Reserve considers bigger down payments on installments
The Federal Reserve Board proposed tighter installment credit rules to curb inflation. A minimum down payment of one third would apply to autos and large purchases, with 20 percent on radios refrigerators and similar items and 15 percent on plumbing and air conditioning.
