A.5 ' I* A HOT SUMMER DAY finds fishermen at the McHenry Dam State park as they find a spot near the dam in their attempt to catch lethiag for the frying pan. If the fish fail to bite, well, at least it was cooler near the water, and the sound off rushing water spilling over the dam makes for a pleasant afternoon. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYU)RD) B/4NKNG IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS A Marriage Partner-Money Partner Toe 1 By Willis W. Alexander Executive Vice President American Banker* Association When a couple says" I do," they are also forming a busi­ ness partnership of scope and Importance. Financial advisors say this new and . volatile business ar­ rangement will get off to the bast start with "a little trust and a long conversation." The first order of business should be a joint decision a- bout goals -- and preferably before the marriage takes place. Aside from necessities, what will you use your money for? A house? A trip to the Or­ ient? Another college degree? If you agree about these things, mov$ on to the next step: who is going to handle What? Paying the bills and keeping the records ire a necessary part of tlie business, and many marriage partners feel happiest when they are shared. These two things taken care of, you are set for the nitty- gritty of budget, records, bank accounts, savings and credit • Budget -- to set this up you need to estimate your in­ come for a year, and establish a spending pattern over a per­ iod of say two months by jot­ ting down literally everything you spend. Group your spend­ ing into categories such as food, rent, transportation, medical, recreation, savings, etc. The pattern will tell you how mucn you need in each category and where you can cut back under a budget. o Records -- you'll need them for taxes, insurance policies and problems that might arise after a purchase. One good system for main­ tenance is simply to keep the various categories in large labeled envelopes, although the more important docu­ ments should go into a safe deposit box in your bank. o Bank accounts -- will they be joint or separate? Though joint accounts offer a nice psychological "unity" and escape probate upon the death of one partner, they do present problems of com­ munication. And at death, they can he sealed from your spouse until a review has been made by tax agents. o Savings -- how will you do it? One good way is to "bill yourself" each month in a mandatory fashion and de­ posit five to seven per cent of your paycheck as soon as it arrives. Set aside one month's pay or more for emergencies. o Credit -- needs to be established by paying your bills on time, maintaining a stable work record and build­ ing a relationship with a bank. Use the same one for your accounts and loans. Need assistance with any of these decisions or more information? Visit your local banker.

Life may begin at 40 for some people but for 82- year-old Joe Gaxiola of San Jose, California, many of the best things have hap­ pened in his life since he turned 70. For as long as he could -. remember, Gaxiola had longed to own a house, but his income as a farm work­ er and laborer never al­ lowed him to realize his dream. Finally, at the age of 75, a retroactive Social Security payment, combined with his earnings as a com­ munity worker, enabled him to make a down payment on a house. Joe Gaxiola was born on a ranch in northern Mexico and lived there until he was Orphaned at eight. He moved into a small town called Navoja and sold newspapers and shined shoes in the street, sleeping in doorways covered with newspapers. At the age of J 6, he volunteered to go to a re­ formatory school, where he learned to read and write? Spanish and then returned to the ranch where he was born. In 1913, when he was 20 years old, he joined the •Mexican Revolution and served until 1917. The following year he crossed the border into California and began his years of toil as a farm worker in the Imperial Val­ ley. Four years later he moved to a huge ranch in central California, where he worked as a peach picker until he became a crew fore­ man and then assistant manager of the company store run by the ranch.

A«KY.' iola felt he was being ex­ ploited and quit his job on the ranch in 1930, which was an ill-fated move be­ cause of the Depression. For the next nine years he and his family lived in farm labor camps. "Even when I could find work, I only got paid ten cents an hour," Gax­ iola said. In 1939, Gaxiola moved his family back to Mexico, and supported his family on a meager income as an in­ surance salesman, bartend­ er and other odd jobs until after the start of World War II. In 1942 he -came back to the United States and work­ ed as a crew foreman in charge of hundreds of Mex­ ican farm workers who were brought into the country on work permits because of the labor shortage. After the war, Gaxiola worked on various farms with his wife and children, usually earning less than $3000 a year. In 1950, he got a job as a laborer in a cannery near San Jose and worked there until he re­ tired in 1965 at the age of 72. Gaxiola's life has been on the upswing ever since. For the next 18 months he worked as a community or­ ganizer for low-income areas. After a short stint back in the fields, he was hired for Project J*IND, a rogram thatwis sponsored y The^National Council on the Aging to find people over 55 who needed help. Because of his long ex­ perience as a farm worker, Gaxiola was called to Wash­ ington, D.C in 1968 to testify before the U.S. Sen­ ate Committee on Aging. When Project FIND end­ ed, he was employed by a variety of senior citizen pro­ grams and is now a senior outreach worker in San Jose.
