Something to hold on to. kt i /

Let's foce it. There’s really nothing new about 5 ¥4% Passbook Savings. And maybe that's why this service is so popular. Many people maintain a Passbook Savings Account because they always have a document that provides a ready-reference to their savings balance. And it's really not on inconvenience to bring it to the bank when you make a deposit or withdrawal. For some people, it's the way they like to do their banking. * • FIRST NATIONAL BANK ■ CUVHXX • MMOMD

beat the heat

You can’t really beat the heat. Whether it's the heat or the humidity or both, it’s hot in almost all of the United States in August The American Medical Association points out that there are some things you can do to be more comfortable.

Red Cross spent over $25,000,000 giving emergency aid. We face the balance of this year until June 50 millions of dollars short of disaster relief funds. Now we’re asking you to HELP KEEP RED CROSS READY —ready to help thousands of Americans who will need it during the winter and turbulent spring.
