Banking Works for
The Average Man

Many of us tend to think of bank
ing almost solely in terms Of big
buSineSS-of vast loans made to
giant corporations, and of financial
activities beyond the comprehension
cf the typical American.
That is a highly erroneous idea.
for the average bank wouldn't last
year if it depended on big deals
to keep it in business. Banking loans
for the most part involve modest
sums, and banking's services are
designed primarily to fit the needs
of the average business and the av-
erage person.
The most striking late develop
ment in banking has been the in
creased attention given to the typi-
cal borrower. Banks have gone into
the consumer credit field on a big
scale, making automobile finance
loans, personal loans, etc. Low rates
of interest and liberal terms of re-
payment are offered the borrower
whose credit rating and character
entitle him TO loan. And so far as
business is concerned there can be
no doubt but what banking has lit
orally gone the limit in seeking to
better its service to the small con-
Germ. The store or factory owner in
need of "a few hundred or a few
thousand dollars is as welcome in
the average bank today as the ty-
coon with plan calling for hun
dreds of thousands.
The result is that banking has
become an even more vital part of
American economic life than it was
in the past. You may never have
need for bank credit yourSelf-but
bank credit is one of the factors that
give you job, and which help keep
your community going. 1t is the life
blood of our economy. And no in
stitution is doing more to adapt it.
self to the swiftly changing times
we live in, and to help make Ameri-
ca richer, happier, and more secure

Clean Up Fire Hazards
In Your Home

When it comes to accumulations
Of useless odds-and-ends which are
found in profusion in many homes,
here's an excellent motto: Burn the
junk up-before it burns you up
A good many of US have
characteristics of the pack rat. We
hate to throw anything away. Old
clothes. old magazines, old furniture,
even old newspapers all go into in
formal storage in attic or basement
or closet. They may stay there for
years, collecting dust and mold,
with nothing dangerous happening.
Again, they may not-fire, which
feeds on such accumalations, may
find them. And then all your pos
sessions. no less than the junk, may
go up in smoke.
Once or twice year it would be a
excellent idea to make a little tour
of your home to ferret out such
hazards. Charities will be glad to
have old clothes. furniture and read
ing matter. Anything that is use
less can go to the junkman or be
destroyed in the inc;nerator. Be es-
pecially alert in going through
workshop and garage-it is a COM
mon habit to leave cans of paint,
varnish and other inflammable Ii
guilds open. Cleaning rags should be
kept in closed metal containers
Spillage of gasoline or oil should be
at once mopped up .
Perhaps your home is free of such
dangers. If it is, it is very much the
exception. The chances are that ha-
yards exist of which you know no.
thing-hazards that can be easily
eliminated once discovered. Look
for them now Don'S put it off until
tomorrow-for tomorrow may be
too late. Fire can strike tonight as
easily as next week or next year.

PRESIDENT APPROVES DATE OF
INFANTILE PARALYSIS DRIVE

Saluting the public's effort to
protect the health of this nations
youth as zone of the front lines of
our national defense, President
Roosevelt, opened the way for the
Country's 1941 drive against infan-
tile paralysis.
Giving his hearty indorsement"
to campaign plans already devised,
the President wrote Keith Morgan,
national chairman of the committee
for the celebration of the Presidents
birthday, asking him to serve again.
The President also authorized use
of his birthday, January 80, as the
focal point for fund raising in the
national Eight infantile paralysis"
campaign.
Morgan accepted reappointment
and called upon "all America to en-
list in our national defense for
health"
Morgan said IL states were swept
with epidemics of the Gripping di-
sease this year and that 1910 would
go down in records "as the fifth
Worst year in history"
Therefore, he continued, the ma
tional drive for funds through balls
celebrating the Presidents birthday
and through other campaigns would
resolve into the "most far reaching
campaign program yet inaugurated. F"
Morgan named Eddie Cantor, COM
edian, to lead radios "march of
dimes" drive; Grantland Rice, sports
writer, to conduct campaigns in the
field of sports, and Joseph M. Schenk
Of the film industry to continue as
vice-chairman.

HER MEMORIAL
BY Her Sister Rebecca Bean, Arthor
and Publisher, New York City,
and Los Angeles, California
Concluded

Neglect" makes up life's weary
freight, and then we cry, too late
too late. But this could not be said
of Mrs. Nesbitt. She neglected nc
work, no duty, no child, no friend,
no neighbor. Her cooking.-the roasts
her bread, cakes and pies were never
neglected in her stove, never uder
done or over done. Her garden was
dug, the soil prepared and the seed
planted the same time every year
for fifty years.
Her vegetables grew, and fruits
were preserved. She knew the
weights and measures, and rarely
used scale. Never weighed her sug.
ar for her fine jellies and famous
sweet pickles. Hundreds Of jars Of
these preserves, we're ever ready
to serve to any friend who CHANGED
to drop in, the table was always
spread.
That bench for the wash tubs! II
was set in the same place every Mon
day morning, rain or shine, and at
the same hour, for fifty years.
All of this was her routine in this
life. Each garment when washed
was hung on the line with the same
precision, and at the same identical
place on that line. Her clothes were
ironed on Tuesday. The method was
precisely the same.
Her beautiful potted plants!
Blooms of every shade and color,
Once we counted one hundred and
eighty dark, pink blooms on big,
big Cactus. Its window, that winter
was in the attic. Flowers were q
part Of her life. She loved them and
their growth manifested this love,
We never knew one of her plants to
die. She gave them her glass of water
at her every meal. She would rise
from the table, and glide OF to the
living room with that glass of water.
She knew which one needed a drink.
Memories come thick and fast, and
words fail to depict that sublime
life, lived for fifty years in the same
house, surrounded by friends who
passed, and others came to take
their place. From coast to coast we
have never known of such woman, -
such sister.

Farm Bureau Federation

A pageant depicting the Ameri-
can farmers important role in our
national defense will be one OF the
feature events OF the 22nd annual
convention of the American Farm
Bureaus Federation to beheld in Bal
to-, Dec. 8 to IL, according to an
announcement today by G. e. Wise,
Jr., secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau.
Sonia Solomonoff, who has direct
ed several outstanding pageants in
Baltimore in recent years, has signed
contract to direct the Farm Bureau
pageant which will be staged in the
City Hall Plaza at 4:45 p. M. on
Tuesday, Dec. 10. p. C. Turner, OF
Baltimore County. who is president
of the Maryland Farm Bureau, sign
ed the contract on behalf of the con-
vention committee.
Three thousand farmers from
every State in the union are expected
to attend the convention, which will
be the largest to be held in Balti-
more this year. Government officials
and nationally known authorities
will address the business meetings
Headquarters will be in the Lord
Baltimore Hotel.
Mr.. Solomonoff plans to have q
cast of approximately 200 persons
participate in the pageant The open
ing scenes will depict outstanding
events in American history, leading
UP to a Salute to the American
Farmer" Agriculturists will be por-
trayed as participating in contin-
uous fight against disaster, floods
drought, dust storms, etc., to pro-
vide food for the nation.
"In these days Of war and rumors
of war;" Mr.. Solomonoff said, 1--WE
are bending every effort to strength
en- our national defense. The farmer
has an important role in this pic
ture, for he is the bulwark of our
protective forces. An army can't
fight on empty stomachs, nor can a
nation be rebuilt by undernourished
youths.
Consequently, believe the farm
er, who wears no uniform, deserves
appropriate recognition in our ma
tional defense activities"
A stirring portrayal of the defense
of Fort McHenry and the writing OF
the Star Spangled Banner will follow
the salute to the farmer, then the
audience will join in a pledge OF
allegiance to the flag.
THE convention COMMITTEES be-
lieves this will be most impressive
to the thousands of visiting agricul-
turists, "Mr. Turner said. Judging
from all indications, this convention
will be one of the largest in the his
tory of the organizations because
our members are keenly interested
in the agriculturay phase of the ma
tioal defense program. The conven-
ton speakers. I am sure, will fur
nish them with authentic informa-
tion Of vital Importance"
