ident Arnold pointed out that "down
through all the ages has come the real
estate investment, yet at no time in
centuries has it been anything but the
backbone of all investments"
James A. Devine, secretary of the
building and loan state organization,
said the record Of building and loan
companies during the present depres-
sion, from the standpoint of safety,
was unequalled by any other financial
group in the country. He pointed out
that liquidity had nothing to do with
safety and earning power and ex-
planned that building and loan associa-
tions since their organization in Ohio,
in 1867, had had the privilege of ask
ing for notice of withdrawal. He de-
clared this to be the safest provision
that can surround financial institu-
tion.
Despite so-called hard times, speak
ers at the building and loan meeting
indicated that loan associations in
Ohio during the past twelve months
had paid out more than sixty million
dollars in interest and dividends.
Local loan men were much pleased
to hear of the record made by home
financing institutions through Ohio
during the strenuous times of the past
few months.

 The old veterans had gathered for their party. after day, remembering battles that nobody wants forward, a little more breathess when Robettas started his act.
 They envied him. The clown was dangling by the said, they applauded.
 Robettas meantime, he swayed in his comic role was biting the wire little heavily than usual. Severe internal pains shaking his body. But he wouldn't give up. He was determined not to end his act ahead of time.
 But when the act done. and the applause had died away he discovered that he parayzed. The strain had been too much. He can't perform again.
 ~ Many people win say that it useless sac lrifice Perhaps it But it glorious one, just the same. Robettas had a chance to be brave and he took it.
 The memory of the back-stage scenes when he played the road circuit, the lure of the Big Top la blue sky scattered with stars, and the thrill that lcomes when the orchestra swings into melody that means the performance is starting all lof these will be little loveer to the man who knows that his last act his best.
