COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT
REQUIRES BANKLOANS
Building a better community, whether accomplished
through business improvement, industrial expansion or
individual effort, requires financing before it can take ,
concrete form. Providing the necessary capital is a
bank's business.
This bank, realizing that the progress of the organiza
tion is dependent upon the prosperity of the commun
ity, is always ready to do its part.

apparently, a happy domestic
scene.
But see what happened.
"The butler came in with the
food which apparently did not
please the master of the house. He
spoke his mind freely and harsh
ly to the butler, who, offended, re
turned to the pantry and, instead
of Ussing the maid, straight-arm
ed her into a corner.
"The maid burst into tears: she
went in to scold the cook, and
during the subsequent argument,
slapped the cook's face. The cook
in her anger, snatched the food
away from the butcher boy, who,
on his way out, kicked the cat
down the back steps.
"A graphic example," said Dr
Myerson, noted psychatrist, "of
how emotion of fear or ill will or
mean ess spreads through an en
tire organization. Cheerfulness
and courage can spread just as far
and fast."

inner life of our families, our bus

anger or selfishness without dilut
ing the emotional blood-fitream of
the race.
And every courageous or unself
ish emotion builds up the whole
world's stock of courage and faith.
* . . . Hats Off to Aunt Julia
Having Just come from France,
and feeling very continental, I
bent over and kissed Aunt Julia's
hand. She blushed like a girl.
"You mustn't try to flatter an
old lady," she said.
But it was no attempt at flat
tery; it was an act of reverence.
She is a member of the noblest
clans in the world.
I had been reading, on the boat,
a book about the Bronte family.
Mr. Bronte was a self-centered
country parson, who wore out his
wife by making her the mother
of six children in six years. Left
the motherless brood on his hands,
he cast around for help, and
thought of his wife's maiden sis
ter. She, poor thing, was living
peacefully in a lovely little town,
with an income sufficient to pro
vide comfortably for her simple
wants. There was every selfish
reason why she should stay just
where she was.
Yet, at this summons, she did
not hesitate. She cast aside every
personal consideration, came down
to the bleak parsonage in its ugly
part of England and proceeded,
for the rest of her life, to devote
herself to those children.
How many million of similar in
stances have there been in his
tory! What a priceless wealth of
affection is poured out on the
other people's children by aunts
and nurses and cooks and teachers
to whom Fate gives no children
of their own! How could human
ity conduct its existence without
them?
I thought of these things as I
watched Aunt Julia wrap up her
niece and hurry away. I lifted my
hat reverently and waved them
good-bye.

SAFETY COUNCIL
PICTURE AT
LYRIC THEATRE
The new National Safety Coun
cil Picture, "Horse Sense In Horse
Power" will be at Lyric
Theatre Monday, March 8, mati
nee and night, according to infor
mation received by local Plym
outh dealers. It is an impressive
presentation of the safe driving
problem.
Plymouth dealers here were in
formed by the Plymouth Motor
Corporation of the coming of this
picture because Plymouth cars are
used in parts of the picture.
The folly of reckless speeds,
the dangers of poor brakes and
the need for courtesy between
drivers are all dramatically pic
tured with actual traffic occur
rences, including collisions, upsets
and a spectacular scene of a car
being driven through the walls of
a barn.
The picture has been endorsed
everywhere by civic officials as a
means of promoting safer driving.
With so many cars on the roads
of America and all traveling at
higher speeds, there is a growing
need for more care in driving.
Many people, who think they are
careful drivers are really taking
risks they would avoid If they
were reminded of the dangers
they are thoughtlessly Incurring,
j "The National Safety Council is
hopeful that everyone in America
will see this picture," said Mr. L.
P. Amburn . . . "and in coopera
tion with their viewpoint I would
lite to urge a large attendance to
see the picture while it Is here."

something for ahead.
I meet you with outstretched
arms and with songs of gladness.
Sometime some day some
hour -in the near or far future,
you will yearn for the touch of
my friendly hand.
I am your comforter and best
friend.
I am calling you.
