A CHILD'S PRAYER
Dedicated to Miss Marion DdUleS

BY Francis Joseph Hall Gage 11)
Our father works for daily bread
And to give a comfortable bed.
Myself and sisters, of which have FOUR
Awaited this year, often before,
To hear the postman's knock at our door,
With another Christmas invitation to the biggest party
in creation,
With visions of scooters dolls and toys, and all other
kinds of Christmas joys.
But when the postman passed us by many tear fell
from eye;
Then we learned off your list.
And really don't know why were missed.
Someone thought, because Daddy works on,
That he has the money to pay for fun.
Some folks do not know that it takes lots OF dough
To feed and clothe boys and girls when small.
In fact it's easy matter at all.
You "Daddies" of families ought to know
That little assistance lot to any and every
little "tot"
Miss Daves-we know, though missed your
1t was not you who had it so.
Gods good-He always and supplies
Help for any Daddy who tries.
But haunt of fear is often
Even though a may be sincere.
God bless you, and keep you, our dear friend,
To carry your great errand.
With your kind heart and outstretched hand,
To help child whenever you can
If were angel, high up in that Palace of Gold,
The good you have done to children-would be told
Truly, because of your goodness down here
You have nothing to fear
So let wish with a great big cheer
That you will have many Happy New Year

DANGER IN BANK
BILL, VIEW Of
'CONNOR

Comptroller of thu Currency
O'Connor yesterday spotted the
genesis Of another banking crisis
in the amended Administration
banking bill.
AS House leaders drove the
membership toward its passage,
Mr.. O'Connor startled a Senate
Banking subcommittee with a
warning the amended section /
would leave the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation at the
mercy Of specializing "banksters."
The section, as originally
drafted, set up rigid qualifica-
tons for deposit insurance, bear.
ing on financial history Of the
applicant bank, adequacy Of cap
ital, soundness of assets, pros
poets of future earnings, char.
acter of m anage ent, and
adequacy of the communities ex-
listing banking facilities.
AS amended by the House COM
mittee, Mr.. O'Connor said, bank
promoters need only show ade-
quate capital to qualify for inSur-
ance. He added:
eff this most dangerous Sec
ton is adopted, the country may
again be 'over-banked.'
"It constitutes an invitation
for spectators and promoters to
organize banks. We closed H.
900 banks in the past 10 years.
No one can tell what the next
10 will bring if this section
passes"
To prevent bank mushrooming
under the FDIC, Mr.. O'Connor
said his office had consistently
denied charters to national banks
in communities already adequately
served by State banks. Chair
man Glass DD, of Virginia,
warmly approved that policy.
