A QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK * “Will my money be readily available?” You are entitled to a candid answer to this question when you are seeking a place to accumulate money. Almost every plan makes it easy for you to put money IN. But make sure you know how easily you can get it OUT again. Ask for the rules and regulations governing withdrawals. Wt ar« sure that if you are seeking the ideal combination of safety, convenience and availami.ity, you will agree that there is no substitute for a bank account.

House Leader Endorses Garner RAISES POSSIHII.ITV OF SHOWDOWN BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND NEW DEALERS WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 <UP) — ^ House majority leader Sam Rayburm.s , endorsement of vice president John I N. Garner for the 1940 Democratic ) presidential nomination was believed today to raise the possibility of a showdown between conservative and new deal Democrats at the next session of Congress. It was emphasized, however, that such a showdown on the Rayburn issue was only possible, not probable. A fight could be made in the House i to displace Rayburn a fellow Texan of Garner’s- as President Roosevelt’s spokesman in the chamber. Such a fight admittedly would be virtually without precedent. Re-election of a Congressional leader in the past has been almost automatic. One factor which might determine whether a fight will be made, ob1 servers believed, Is the extent to which Rayburn was influenced by ( local political factors in Texas. If his suport of Garner is in the nature of a homestate move to protect his j Congressional seat, the administra- | (ion is hardly likely to raise any issue against him. A fight would be probable, it was believed, only if ; Rayburn openly moves out against the new deal—a highly improbable j event. Whether New Dealers could be successful in ousting Rayburn, under ! any circumstance, probably would depend on the amount of strength he could muster to off-set the antiRoosevelt trend In the lower House. They might argue with recalcitrant colleagues that the President holds the key to 1940 and that the Democrats' only hope ts to untie behind him or some other New Deal candi-

date.

Rayburn announced Saturday that he was "for that outstanding Texan and liberal Democrat, John N. Garner’’ as presidential nominee next

year.

FAST FREIGHT KILLS TWO GIRLS ON BRIDGE

DELPHI, Ind.. Aug. 14.—(UP)— Two girls were killed today and their mother, a bride of slightly more than a week, was critically injured when they well' struck by a Wabash railroad freight train as they were walking across a railroad bridge near the city. The dead are Dora Mae Rader, 22. and Bertha Rader. 14. Their mother Mrs. Theodore Fife, 44, of Delphi, was taken to a Lafayette hospital where it was said that her injuries may prove fatal. The three were walking to town about 9 a. m. and started across the railroad bridge. The freight train roared down upon them as they were approximately half way over. Bertha Rader leaped from the bridge but was killed by the fall. Dora Mae was mangled by the train, as was her mother. Mrs. Fife had married for the second time only last Aug. 5.

Ihirse'.l Reunion Held Sunday On Sunday August 6. the third annual reunion was held at the old j P u r s e 11 homestead northeast of I Greencastle with ninety relatives and friends present to enjoy a bountifuj dinner and a pleasant day under the Old Oak tree. The president, Frank Pursell had charge of the business meeting and he following officers were re-elected or another year: Frank Pursell, president; Mary Pursell Roach, secetary and treasurer; and Alva Gow- j n, was elected vice president. Elsie Dicks favored the group with ^ome clever numbers on her accord-

The annual Busby reunion will be icld Sunday August 20 at the home >f Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gardner, cross from the nurses home. All reltives and friends are invited. A ;ood attendance is desired. * * * * Hurst Reunion Held Sunday A beautiful walnut grove just off U. S. 40 south of Greencastle near the home of Alton Hurst made a beautiful setting for the gathering of the Hurst family at their fortieth reunion Sunday. Aug. 13. Ideal weather lent much to the ■njoyment of the one hundred present for the occasion. At noon the usual feast of good things gave zest for the program of the afternoon.' Members of the family gave readings and musical numbers. A band composed of Hurst children in charge of Mr. Glover, director of music in the Cloverdale schools was a very enjoyable feature, showing how with few rehearsals an organization falls into form. Mr. Glover also gave some piano numbers, playing one of his own compositions. The orchestra from the state farm gave an excellent program of songs, music, dancing and stunts which brought much applause. A picture of the first reunion held by the family forty years ago proved an interesting feature as members sought relatives. The bewhiskered men and some with flowing mustache made identification more difficult. Women and children in high topped shoes, long sleeves and no hair bobs gave evidence of passing time and fashions change. Many older members have passed on but the younger ones enthusiastically step forth and carry the family tradition on into other years. Much interest developed in plans next year for a display of family relics and an effort to have the oldest ^nd youngest Hurst present.
