WHAT ABOUT THE NEW BANK?

Some two years ago Amwel National Bank pur-

be erected there, The news was greeted forward

public viewed the matter with qualification
But time has passed and apparent move is
made to the building, there is much speculation
ard questioning what is holding up the construc-

to the failure of public and industrial development in

of the bank and asked for information the status
of the building Mr.. Van Hart said that several
plans had been considered for the new building but
that nothing definite had been approved One plan called
for two-story building with apartments the second
floor. Another plan called merely for bank building
covering the forty-toot frontage and running back
eighty feet. But Mr.. Van Hart says the plans are
being held up account of prevailing high prices.
However, development is going all the

"The American Legion at its ma

reaffirmed it's unfaltering belief in
the fairness, necessity and efficacy
of the universal draft in times O.

''The convention urged upon con.

suitable legislation to make possible
complete mobilization of all re
sources, both of material and man
power, in the event of war.
"The first definite action toward
universal draft legislation was taker

vention at Kansas City in 1921 wher
Hanford MacNider, the then newly
elected national commander and now
assistant secretary of war, appoint
ed a committee of nationally known
Legionnaires to study the question
"The committee reported to the
national convention in New Orlean
the following year, and the form
of legislation was approved as rec

No one likes to be a tattle-tale,
but motor drivers will never be safe
until motorists who observe vicious
and reckless violations of the auto
mobile laws, likely to cause serious
accidents, report the occurrences to
the highway department with the
license numbers.
The State can then do the rest,
according to its rules and regula-
tions: blacklist the drivers, revoke
licenses or bring prosecutions.
