Pledged for Reopening;
Committees Now at Work

Slightly more than half of the de
positors of the rbwfd First National
Bank have signed the depositors'
agreement to keep their funds in the
bank after It is reopened, it was learn
ed itidav. Members of Ihr committee
are confident all of them will agree
to the program outlined for restoring
the bank to the business life of the
community.
It was said also that stockholders
had pledged approximately $75,000 of
the $120,000 necessary to raise to fur
nish. the capital for the reopening,
and that a committee was active to
day In railing upon those who had
not yet been in to sign their ad
heience to the program. They wilt
hold another meeting on Friday of
this week to report on the results of
their efforts, it was explained.
Probably next week & committee ;
will also begin a canvass of the de- j
positors who have not at that time !
signed the agreement. The more than |
half of the deposits already put into
the agreement represent individuals
and concerns that have come into
the bank for that purpose or have
mailed in their signed blanks.
Officers today were much encourag
ed over the response they have re
ceived. and express the greatest con
fkdnee that they will succeed in re
opening the clo«ed bank in the next
few weeks. They realize, they explain
ed. that time is needed to get 4.000
accounts into line and for stockhold
ers to make arrangements to take
their part of the new capital neces
sary for the bank to operate. But
they are pleased with the response so
far. and expect that this cooperation
will be continued to the certain suc
cess of the movement.

“Most of the prisoners in the high

If they try to buck the regulatlon.-
They also know that they are sure «,f
three good meals a day and clean

Ihey were out. The result is that w<-
are having less and less trouble and
getting more and more work from
