FIRST NATIONAL
BANK PLANNING
new Home

Plans for .remodeling the. building
formerly occupied by the Security Com
mercial and Savings bank and making it
one of the largest and most up to date
banking institutions in the Imperial
Valley, were announced today by Her
bert Holt, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of FL Centre.
1t is estimated by contractors that il
will mean an expenditure of approxi-
mately $4,000 to carry out the plan
of the bank officials.
Mr.. Holt states that the lease of the
building now occupied by his bank ex-
pires June ]. 1t is expected that the
new place will be ready for occupancy
by this date. Contractor Girard has a
large force of men at work this week
tearing out the walls and floor The
bank has secured a lease on the entire
lower floor Of the building.
The space adjoining the old Security
bank and recently occupied by the
Crescent Jewelry company and the I'm
perial Valley Title company will be
utilized by the First National. The
floor space will be so X rs feet where as
the present building now used by the
First is 80 IS feet.
A central lobby is included i'll the
building plans. The teller cages will be
on one side of the large room and the
offices will be located on the opposite
side The lobby will have tile floor
and the fixtures will be of hardwood
and marble. A rear entrance is also
planned Tor the banks customers. Tht
lear portal and passageway will be built
so as not to interfere with those work
ing behind the cages.

used as a public forum and place of
meetings for local, civic and patriotic
bodies, such as the Parent Teachers
association, the Rotary club, chamber
of commerce, Merchants association,
Woman s Improvement club, and other
meetings of public character.
The building plans would include an
auditorium of sufficient size to accom-:
modate large public gatherings, and
smaller rooms for lessers meetings and
the like. A building of this character
it is believed could be erected of CON
crete for about $4,000 and furnished
at not great deal of additional ex-
pense. 1t is probable that Il public
meeting will be called very shortly to
take formal action or the matter.

Music and The Soviet

While the American government has
practically. ignored music as an asset in
the public life, the Soviet government
i'll Russia has established a full-fledged
department of music as a branch OF its
department of art. '' Lenino recognized
its necessity and found time to establish
it while engaged in a tremendous strug-
gle for existence.
Alexander Miroviteh, brother of the
pianist. alfred Mirovitch, is now Ill
America He is the head of the music
department of the Soviet and states
mat Petrosrad has had an intense musi-
cal season with from two to three
symphony concerts, three or four
smaller recitals, and opera every night
of the week. He says that summer Will
bring even increased activities i'll music
because the halls will not then have to
be heated, an important factor when the
coal shortage is as acute as it is i'll the
Russian capital.
He saws that concert and opera per
fornances are still free tc the public,
or tickets are sold cheaply. The gov
ernment has reserved its right to com
manaeer artists for these performances
and opera has benefited conspicuously
under thus regime. The COMMERCIAL side
tof mIisi.. life is returning slowly, how
ever: as the government is now en-
couraging private enterprises OF Other
sorts, it is also beginning to commercial
ize its music. Mr. Mirovitch who has
heard recently from his brother in Rus
| sia. saws that money over there is get
ting more plentiful, and normal condl
lions are being rapidly restored, al
of which is good news if true.
Those hearing the splendid program
of Russian music given by members OF
tho Ten Thousand club musical section
will agree with Mirovitch the pianist
when he says that TRANSACTIONS Oh nus
