Postwar Expansion
OF Deposits Forecast
Al Bank Meetinq
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Many banks are concerned with
the possible loss of deposits in the
postwar period, but deposits in gen.
eral are likely to increase rather
than decline, E. A. Kincaid, consult
ing economist of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Richmond, told 25O
bankers at the Statler Hotel last
evening.
Banks will have a heavy RESPONSE
bility in the postwar period, in sup
plying small business with capital
and credit and in fostering the in
vestment of savings, thus promoting
employment, he added. In the in
terval between the war in Europe
and the war in Asia there will be
demand for bank credit pending set
tlement of war contracts.
DR.. Kincaid addressed the mid
winter meeting of the District Bank
ers' Association. He declared that
until Germany is crushed, Federal
expenditures will remain near pres
ent levels. After Germany's defeat,
these expenditures will be materially
curtailed, and business conditions
will depend on the extent to which
reconversion will permit expansion
OF civilian production.
USO Doing Immense Job.
Miss Mabel r. Cook, National
USO area representative, vividly
pictured the expansion of USO work
in the past four years, until 10000
volunteers are now rendering price
less service. There are % units
operating in the Washington area
she said. The national 1945 USO
budget has been set at $4,000, 900.
Sidney F. Taliaferro, association
president announced appointment
of Richard A. Norris, executive vice
president and cashier of the Lin
coin National Bank, as chairman of
the general committee for the l945
annual meeting. According to prece-
dent, this means that Mr. Norris
will be made president of the bank
ers' association in four years.
Thomas j. Groom, head of the
Bank of Commerce & Savings, pre-
sented resolutions on the passing of
Maurice D. Rosenberg, one of the
founders of the bank and chairman
of the board at the time of his
death.
Sheffield Joins Bank Board.

SCHOOL BUSES STOP
HAULING PASSENGERS

Drivers of the various school
buses in the county have been
directed to discontinue hauling
passengers while enroute to and

nouncement.
This move was made necessary
it is said, for different reasons,
particularly because according
to report, on some of the routes
travellers took advantage of the
good natured drivers and so
crowded the buses that in many
instances children had to stand,
while passengers occupied seats.

FIRST SNAKE STORY

The first snake story to be re-

in by Elder j j. Stanley Of Long

a large copperhead near his home
on March 6. His wife was out
picking green's and called to him
to come and kill a snake she had
found. The snake had craWled
from its winters quarters, a hole
in the ground, to enjoy the warm
sunshine on that day. TIE elder
brought hoe and after some
maneuvering was able to chop
the reptiles head off. He says
that it was as full of life as any
he had ever seen in the summer,
and that it was over three foot
long.

Two Companies
In Race For
r. r. Charter

According to report, two major
railroad groups are now engag-
ed in proceedings amounting to
a legal race to reach some here
tofore untouched coal lands in
Dickinson and Wise counties,
the area said to embrace some
100000 acres rich in coal.
The Carolina Clinchfield and
Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line and the
Louisville and Nashville rail-
way companies made application
some time ago to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for per-
mission to build a 14.5 mile line
north and west from Fremont to
the Lick Fork coal.
Since that time the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, group
ed with the Nickel Plate and
Marquette companies, has asked
the Commission to permit them
to construct a 13-mile extension
of its Sandy Valley and Elkhorn
division from near Jenkins, KY,
through Cumberland Mountain
to the Meade Fork of Bold
Camp in Wise county.
The Clinchfield and the Virgin
ia Iron Coal and Coke compan-
les are said to be the largest land
owners in the yet untouched coal
area, with other concerns hold
ing smaller acreages. Should eth
err group build to the above de-
scribed regions, it is certain that
several new operations will start.
If the Interstate Commerce
Commission has as yet granted
either of the above named con-
Germs permission to build a rail-
road to Lick Fork or Bold Camp
it has not been made public.
Some venture the opinion that
but one permit to build rail-
road will be granted, due to war
time restrictions. However, that
is only an opinion.
A surveying crew is already
doing preliminary work for the
