Bank Deposits OF
County Banks Are
Now Guaranteed
Federal Insurance Body Protects
Accounts Up To $500;
Banishes Fear Of Loss

Depositors in Montgomery County
banks are now guaranteed deposits up
to $2500 under the plan OF the FEEDER
al Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Even though Montgomery County has
during the past year escaped the
more serious shock and subsequent
disaster attending closing banks, the
insurance plan makes the county more
strongly entrenched behind their
financial institutions.
Federal officials, financial writers
and the Associated Press and local
banking officials all join in pronounc-
ing the starting date of general de-
post insurance by the Federal De-
post Insurance Corporation as inaug-
urating new era in banking.
Fear of loss or freezing of deposits
has been completely removed from
those whose balances are less than
$4,000 in any one bank.
Since this classification includes
over 81 per cent of all bank accounts,
the danger of panic or runs on banks
is regarded as eliminated.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration has purchased $500, 100000 in
preferred stock and capital notes of
approximately $500 banks throughout
the United States.
This vast amount of money has been
added to the capital structure of the
banks in question and has further
strengthened their position and en-
abled them to render stronger and
more adequate banking facilities to
the communities they serve.

Financial Responsibility For
Motor Vehicles Clarified

"No commercial motor vehicles car
rying passengers or goods for hire
can be registered in Maryland in 1884
until the owners have shown evidence
of financial responsibility through
bond or ipr -nce."
That plain statement of the provis-
ions Of the law requiring financial re-
sponsibility for commercial motor We
hicles is made by Albert e. Buckley,
Manager of the Keystone Automobile
Club Of Maryland, to help in clarity
ing situation that appears to be mis-
understood in many quarters.
Every day." said Mr.. Buckley, I'VE
are asked by truck owners If this law
applies to all commercial vehicles. The
answer is that it applies only to We
hicles carrying goods or passengers
for compensation.
"0wners of all other commercial We
hicles are exempt from the Compuls-
DRY Insurance Law although, in COM
mon with pleasure vehicles, they may
become subject to the Financial Re-
sponsibility Law through failure to
pay damage claims or for violation Of
certain motor laws"

Miss Engle, with DIR. George L.
