and groom were attended by Mr.. En-

ceremony took place at four o'clock.
The bride was very becomingly
dressed in grey silk dress and wore

Of beauty by head dress of orange

CORRESPONDENCE
SURREY NEWS

On the night of March oath the
Fathers and Sons Of Surrey were en-
tertained by the Parent Teacher As
sociation. Nearly every male member
of the community was present. At $3.50
. delicious meal was served by some
of the good mothers and daughters
who deserve much credit, not only for
the good things to eat, but for the
ease and dispatch with which they
were served. Needless to say, the
"eats" disappeared with the same ease
and dispatch and perhaps an added
pleasure.
A program followed, the special
feature Of which was talk to the
boys by DR.. A. d. MCDANIEL. We no
longer think of DR.. MCDANIEL as a
stranger and it was evident in his
talk that the Doctor is not stranger
to boys. They have confidence in what
he tells them. Fathers, too, were i'm
pressed with larger sense Of respon-
sibility.
Other numbers Of the program were
rendered as follows:
Piano Solo-Walter Larson.
Song--High School Boys.
Pantomime Sparring-Ralph Burns
(Box-car Jones of Minot) and Kayll
Young (Surrey Slicker).
Vocal Solos. c.. Anderson.
ACCORDION Solo-Mr. Bennell.
Music Orchestra.
1t is hard to say which of these
numbers was the best but surely Mr..
Bennell took many of the "old uns"
back to the days of their prime with
the lively airs of past generation,
and the younger ones enjoyed the
music but enjoyed more the unmis-
taxable signs of the pleasure of their
elders.
Finally, Mr.. Dierdorff, with his un-
failing good judgment, reminded us
in just few words of the purpose of
the gathering, the value that old and
young might derive from a closer as
sociation and sharing of each others
problems, and indicated that fathers
can scarcely expect their boys to be
better than they are.
Mr.. Ray, who had charge Of the pro-
gram, and others who made the other
arrangements are to be congratulated
ON the success of the first Father and
Son banquet to be held in Surrey.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Dierdorff
slipped and fell down the front steps
Of her home. She wrenched her ankle
and gave her eye a rather severe
bruise. Anyone not knowing Mrs.
Dierdorff might be led to questioning
from the appearance Of her left eye.
Mr.. Leo Frank, who has been quite
ill for some time with case Of small
pox was released from quarantine last
Friday. He made a trip to Plaza to
look after his farm interests there and
returned to his work as teacher in the
High School on Tuesday,
DR.. A. J. Mcdaniel is to be the
guest of the Parent-Teacher associa-
tion Friday evening, April 1st. He has
been asked and has kindly consented
to relate his experience in Hawaii
while on duty with the American
army. The Doctor served as Major
in the Medical Corps during the World
war. He has many interesting ex-
periences to tell Of and will also have
numerous pictures with which to H.
lustrate his talk.
We had begun to think we were to
escape without our share of the usual

PITTSBURGH OPPOSES.

The Pittsburgh Clearing House
Association is in open rebellion
against the Comptroller and has for
hidden the national banks included
in it's membership to reveal the
amount of money being loaned on
bond and stock collateral in New York
city as requested by him. 1t has also
forbidden them to make a sl1tement
showing the amount OF money paid
executive officers of banks and the
number of such officers, and the
amount paid all other employees Of
the bank and number of such en-
ployes.
His position in the matter was
given out today by the Comptroller OF
the Currency as follows:
Section 5211 of the United States
.vised Statutes expressly requires
every national bank to submit to the
comptroller not less than five times
a year a report showing in detail all
resources and liabilities.
"This office is not advised for what
reason the banks object to making
public in the method provided for by
law, this particular information.
1.-The obvious purpose of inclusion
of the causes apparently found objec-
tIopable in Pittsburgh was to develop
whether money of depositors in ma
tional banks is being diverted from
it's proper function of supplying legi-
innate business to earn fancy rates

The matter, IL Is understood was
discussed informally at the meeting
OF the Washington Clearing House
Association, and while no plan OF

lieved that the wave OF opposition

the information he requests but
they declare they do not believe
