Sunday is the day to attend church- Visit the house of the Lord and refresh a tired mind, in need , of a little spiritual uplift. — We wonder how much Herbert Hoover and Al Smith direct the I. policies of the big life insurance company with which they are associated. More than half of February is gone and spring activities are starting on the farm, around the house and in retail circles. From now on. things should be on the go. Look for the traffic lights. When traveling through the principal streets of any city you are expected to keep your eyes open for the red and green lights and that is the safest practice. A Fort Wayne bucket shop con- , eern spent more than SIB,OOO In a year calling customers in the eff- ( ort to sell them some stock. WIHHi . they try to use the high pressure method, look out. Truck drivers demonstrated a 1 fine spirit of cooperation in com- ' plying with the regulation to deliver shipments at the rear of the 1 stores and assisted greatly in eliminating congestion on Second street. Police expressed their ap- 1 preciatlon and merchants were 1 pleased with the back-door deliv- 1 E ery. Most community problems can ' be solved by a little community team work and after all that is the 1 way to do things. ,. t Although you have until the * twentieth of the month to pay your f light and power bills, Mrs. Martin ’ city clerk-treasurer, will appreciate f it if you call before the final day. • It's natural to wait until the last • day to pay bills and until a new 1 system is installed, much time is ( required in answering telephone 1 queries as to the amount of the 1 account. The council is planning 1 to bill patrons every month and 1 ■until the method becomes effective, Mrs. Martin will be grateful to all 1 who assist in eliminating part of ' the last minute rush at bill pay- ' ing time. The Tennessee valley will no i doubt witness one of the greatest i developments ever undertaken in 1 America, but it will be years or a generation or two until the dreams I of the builders come true.

to be moved there and only capacity production will make the savings possible. If the power plant is able to produce five times as much current as is used in Detroit, five cities the size of the auto center of the world will be necessary to use the supply. The central west and northern Indiana will not be wiped off the map for sometimeBANKING IMPROVEMENT— The annual report of the Controller of the Currency emphasizes once more the remarkable improvement that has occurred in our banking structure since the collapse of March. 1933. At the conclusion of the banking holiday 1,417 hanks under the jurisdiction of the Controller, with a deposit liability of $1,972,000,000. had failed to get licenses to reopen. Since that time 1,088 of these have been reorganized under old or new char-1 ters or absorbed by other national j banks, and all but 5.2 per cent of 1 the amount frozen in the 1,417 • banks originally unlicensed has! been released to depositors. hi the I twelve years from 1921 through! 1932 there was an average of 9011 hank failures a year; in 1934 therewere 58. Another interesting feature of- - report is the classification of deposits according to size- This classification was undertaken for the temporary Federal deposit insurance fund when deposits were guaranteed in full up to $2,500. it showed that of the total number of 25,400,000 depositors, 24,600,000, or 97 per cent, were protected in full under this law. Os the $17,000,000, 000 total deposits these depositors held only $4,000,000,000. Unfortunately, lhe report now published does not show the precise figures for deposits of $5,000 or under, which are protected In full under the present law. The next classification is ot deposits between $2,500 and SIO,OOO. which amount in number to only 595,000. but account for a total of $2,700,000,000. if the effort had been made to protect all deposits in full, or even up to a large percentage, the potential liabilities of the deposit fund would have grown enormously’- To protect all depositors in full with deposits of over $50,000 each, for example, would have brought only 30,151 more deposits under protection, but the potential liability for these deposits would have amounted to $7.575,000,000, or nearly twice the a-

- mount required to protect the 24.- -• 1600,000 small depositors.—New s York Times. la o
