Lest You Forget

Fire has no respect for human
lives or property. 1t can strike
the rich and poor alike. Man
has always controlled fire, but
let him get careless and then
fire takes its toll. The toll
could be property loss only, but
sometimes is includes human
lives, your loved ones Let's
not let this happen to us during
the Christmas holidays.
II fire should strike, first get
everyone out Of the house and
then call the Fire Department
Immediately before attempting
10 fight the fire yourself.

Change In Banking Hours

The Richland National Bank and The Sidney National
Bank of Sidney, have announced a change in their
banking hours, effective January 3, 1859.
Beginning on that date banking hours will be from
900 am. to 300 pm, Monday through Friday, and
both banks will be closed all day Saturday. Bank hol-
days will be restricted to those most commonly OBJ
served New Years, Memorial Day, Fourth of July,
Labor Day, General Election Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas.
This action was taken after a meeting with the Ner-
chants Committee of the Sidney Chamber of Com
merce with the thought in mind that better banking
service could be given to the community by opening
an hour earlier and remaining open on legal holidays
not observed by the Sidney merchants.
