SOUND ADVICE ABOUT MONEY.
Father Corrigau Then pok about the
financial situation. and offered his parish
toner's some sound advice. II have been
asked" he said" by MANY persons during
The past week. It l would advise them 10
draw their savings from che savings
banks. anhesitatingiy answered stnem
not to do so, and | advise You all today to
leave your money In the BANGS. OF
course | speak now of our own sayin.s
bank, the Hoboken savings banks
and the Jersey City savings
banks. honestly believe they
are ali sound. By persons Withdrawing
their money they create the very panic
they are trying TO avoid. The money is
all Invested III mortgages. Ii you with
draw all your deposits aT once you en-
barras the bank officials. 10 secure the
money you WISH TO withdraw, they will
be forced to f~orclose Mortgages. They
go to q poor man who is trying to paw
for mis- home. They say. People want
their money. They deluand it or us.
You owe us a Thousand dollars. We
want it immediately The poor man
answers he cannot pay it az once.
And the only recourse the ban
officials have is TO f~orclose the
mortgage on the poor man's house. in
order TO provide the money for those,
who, needlessly alarmed, Insist on with
drawing their deposits. The result is the
poor man suffers by the heedlessness Of
his fellow workman. and the panic all
try TO avert is precipltated with disas-
trous results. Let your money lay in the
banks l have mentioned. They are
sound and able TO meet their obliga-
tions"
