SAVINGS AND LOAN MONTH' FOR APRIL
Lending Groups Anticipate New Building and Im=
 prOvement Records

Washington, April 3-April will be observed by thousands of thrift and home-financing institutions as Savings and Loan Month";" Fred w. Catlett, member of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, said in emphasizing the community serv- ices offered by these mutual asso- citations.
 "This Spring will probably see new records set by associations ill all parts of the country, because more people will be saving money and more homes will be built, bought, or improved. Many unem- ployed building craftsmen will be put to Wrk," stated MT. Catlett.
 "The chief aim of the Spring drive is to acquaint the public bet ter with the facilities of their local savings and loan associations; to emphasize the value of personal and family thrift; to promote home ownership; and to stimulate busi- ness.
 1AOPAuCS EAHpAVyAuCAt
 "A large volume of home-mod- ernization and reconditioning loans is being made by savings and loan associations, and this gives employ ment to many people. The financ- ing of new homes means more men at work and local community busi- ness of all kinds will benefit from the funds thus put in circulation.
 Advertising in newspapers will show the public how convenient savings and loan associations are for tLe investment of their surplus eranings and obtaining loans on homes."
 New York Launches Drive
 MT. Catlett commended the New York State League of Savings and Loan Associations for setting the week of April as Savings and Loan Week in that State, which will give Savings and Loan Month" in the nation at large big send off.
 A Spring campaign already is under way for the building of Reg istered Homes under the Federal Home Building Service Plan, in which the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the American Institute of Architects, and the Producers Council are cooperating. Many home financing instutions throughout the nation are showing interest ill this program, which is now being concentrated in six areas east of the Mississippi.

borrowers Are
Welcome

A loan is not favor" says leaflet rec
emily issued by one of the leading banks
of the nation.
"It is a business transaction that should
be of mutual benefit to borrower and lender
If you wish to obtain a loan for a sound
purpose, and if you meet other credit re-
quirements, we will approve your applica-
ton Immediately.
In granting loans we have important OBJ
legations to four groups: depositors, bor-
rowers, stockholders and the community. To
protect the interest of all these people we
have policies made in accordance with sound
banking principles"
The statement could have emanated from
any one of Newark's financial Institutions.
And nothing will dissipate the mystery sur
rounding bank loans in the minds of New
ark persons so much as a more thorough
knowledge of loans.
They are most banks primary source of
income. No bank wants to refuse loan.
Only when necessary in the interests of de-
positor, borrower, stockholder and public
alike are refusals made. The banker does
not own the money. He is simply it's custo-
dian, working under strict laws on behalf of
those whom he serves.
Strength and solidarity of Newark banks
is assurance that such policy is sound.

The United States
Meets Newark, Ohio

NEWARK entered the homes of the nation
last Thursday night when the Mound
builders City was given the place OF honor
on Major Bowes' nationwide broadcast. 1t
was an advertising plug without price and
one that should bring advantages in more
ways than one to the home town. 1t made
the nation conscious of what we living here
have always known +. that Newark is a
city rich in heritage, natural resources,
strategic location, beautiful scenery, thriv-
ing factories, modern businesses, good
schools, churches, civic pride and, what is
more important, populated with persons all
willing to do their share to keep all these at
tributes intact.
Newarks S horizons melt into the beauty of
her surrounding hills. Times there are, to
be sure, when citizens who come here from
prairie lands feel they are hemmed in by
the hills and yearn for return to the wide
open spaces.
But it is not the hills, nor lakes, nor
mountains that limit the horizons of a city.
Spheres of influence in any community are
as unbounded as the spirit of it's people.
Newark's educational horizons set only on
the trails made by men and women who
learned lessons taught in her schools. Her
religious horizons encompass tolerance and
charity of her sons and daughters who have
gone out from her gates to build homes and
careers in other cities.
Our trade horizons extend to the farthest
point whence people are attracted by the ex-
cellence of the goods and the service of our
stores. Newark's social horizons inclose the
reputation of her people for hospitality and
good cheer.
Cities are not built nor do they grow
through the processes of legislation. Laws,
be they ever so good, do not make a city
great. Neither do economic or social sys-
TENS. It is only the vision of her citizens,

William A. AshbrOOk;
His Death a Blow

NO man has lived whose place cannot be
filled by another. In sense that is true.
But we are among the last who would at
tempt to fill the place the late William A.
Ashbrook held in the hearts of veterans,
widows and ophans and the many thousands
of others who knew him as friend. His
death creates far reaching void and Lick
ing County, and the 18th Congressional dis
trict suffers severe blow in his passing.
There is, however, some satisfaction IN
the fact that he attained his full measure of
years before the end came. Because dur
ing his more than three score and ten he
was responsible for great accomplishments
through which not only Newark and Lick
ing County benefited, but Ohio and the
country as well.
He lived a full, rich life. His activities
carried him into many spheres and no man
has ever served in public office with ban
ners flying higher or cleaner. A great
measure of his success came about by being
honest with himself and with others. None
went to him for help without some effort on
his part to do what he could. That one trait
will do much to perpetuate his memory
among those who knew, loved and respect
ed him.
"Bill' Ashbrook loved and enjoyed life
too we'll to want to leave it, but if he had
known that he must go, we imagine he
would have chosen the way he did goa
sudden loss Of consciousness in its full
flood and then the end with no long drawn
agony.
He will need no other memorial than the
many acts of kindness and service he leaves
behind him.

Join Your SpOrtsmen's
| Club This Year

THE New Year brings into play renewed
effort toward wildlife conservation on the
part of the Licking County Farmer and
Sportsmens Club. And we should like here
to urge all with interest in the movement to
join.
The Licking County unit, allied with 9TH
ers all over Ohio, is cooperating with those
forces which are doing everything in their
power to promote conservation and provide
better fishing and hunting. Such an organ
ization deserves your support.
There is no denying that conservation is
one of the biggest problems of the present
time and that it is subject in which every
type of citizen should be interested
Sportsmen's Clubs here and over the state
are doing great deal to aid the Ohio Divi-
sion of Conservation and Natural Resources
in it's work. Conservation Commissioner
Don Waters stated recently that his depart
ment welcomes the aid and constructive crit
icism of these groups Said he: "We get
and welcome hundreds of letters every week
on all phases of wildlife restoration, and
while they do not always approve our pol
icy, rarely do we get letter that doesn't Of
fer either praise of our work or an honest
intelligent criticism which is of material
benefit in doing what we can for the sports
men and farmers of Ohio"
The rosters of these essential clubs are
mounting in number of each year. They are
making it possible for lovers of hunting and
fishing to enjoy these sports to the great
est degree. Your membership in the Lick
ing County club will be welcomed. Why not
join now.

Editor Leader:
In the death Monday, January
/, of Congressman William A.
Ashbrook of the Seventeenth
District the State and Nation
lost one of it's oldest representa-
tives in Congress. In all of his
ten successful campaigns for
Congress in this district, Mr..
Ashbrook always had the support
of Organized Labor. He died
from a paralytic storke at his
home in Johnstown, Licking
County.
Governor Bricker has under
consideration a suggestion that he
call a special primary and cleo
tion in the near future to fill the
vacancy in Congress created by
Mr.. Ashbrook's death and also
to fill the vacancy in the 22nd
(Cleveland) District created by
the recent death of Congressman
Chester C. Bolton.
In the past it has been the
policy to hold these special con-
gressional elections in conjunc-
tion with the regular primaries
and elections, thus saving ex-
pense to the taxpayers. 1t is es-
timated that it will cost approx
mately 100000 to hold special
elections in the two districts.

COMFORT

God knows and cares-the weary heart
That trembes in the silent breast,
Throbs, but in answer to his own
Who giveth his beloved rest.
Let not your heart be troubled,
Neither let it be afraid,
When these words the Master uttered
Their truths he meant to be obeyed.
Take time to comfort the weary,
'Tis the way the Master led;
He had time for others
When he saw the Cross ahead.
The longest night has it's sunrise,
That comes with the mornings light;
The same the Resurrection Morn
Soon followed Gethsemane's Night.
