Mention is made, now and tjien, of the disturbed condition of the Orient, some talk is heard about changing farms, the weather comes in for its usual quota of the discussion, but the headline in all too many McHenry County minds is: "What is the matter with our banks, that the^ seek to prevent us from withdrawing our money?" The question, however, in that form is very unfair. In the first place it starts out by the assumption that something is wrong with our banks, when, as a matter of fact, if anything were wrong with them they would have be-fen in process of liquidation long ago. "And I'll tell you why." v With nervous and fanatical people ternoon- The business meeting was conducted by the president, Mrs. Wm. Bacon, and work on piecing blocks far a quilt was continued. More pieces are needed to complete this quilt and the donation of pieces will be appreciated. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. C. W. Klontz next Thursday aTternoon. There will be a Valentine box and everyone is asked to brjng a donation of something that can be used by the society as a valtelling others they are drawing out their money and intimating or suggesting that they should do likewise, I emphatically maintain that if anything were wrong with our banks they could not have survived even & few weeks of it. What then can be said against these banks which have stood month after month against this unfair- and intolerant propaganda? Have we forgotten what a bank is? Does not. the humblest student know that a bank is entine for the society, such as carpet servant 0f the community in the! School Notes 1 rags to be sewed, pieces for quilt blocks, thread, needles, pieces of fancy work to be finished, material for an apron or anything that the society ean use. • Members and friends-are invited to attend this meeting. Eighty-five Years Old Mrs. B. Frisby celebrated eighty-fifth birthday on medium of exchange which men call notes, bonds,,drafts, checks, bills and money? Let us all try to be fair! We take our money to the bank and we say: With tlMM tO VtWB «# ill given and whose obligations cannot be met until under their terms .they are due." So, I, for one, am glad the banks have served the notice. It Is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. It is not an omen of frenzy or passion, but a deliberate, well-thought out plan with a very definite desire to keep faith with ALL (not a FEW, but ABL) depositors and with all borrowers. If I had any misgivings about McHenry County banks before, it was because I was afraid not of what they would do, but what their depositors would do to them if, upon some flimsy, baseless rumor, ,they started a fanatical, hysterical run to get their money all at one time. Yes, any misgivings I might have had are dissipated I KNOW NOW THAT MY BANKS ARE MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO PROTECT ME. NO BANK IN THE WORLD COULD STAND UP UNDER AN UNREASONABLE BOMBARDMENT NO MORE THAN ANY ONE MAN COULD CONTINUE TO LIVE UNDER ADVERSE CRITICISM FROM EVERYONE. The bankers hav§ been the "watchdogs" of our individual treasuries. They are running true to form. They have thought out a capable, sane, orderly plan to permit them to still guard our monies ih their hands and they have done it impartially. Let us give them the credit they serve! Let us give to them our full measure of co-operation! One depositor is as sacred to a bank as any other and a few should not be able to upset the nicety of balance which affects us all. If the action whicfi the bankers have taken may be termed as drastic, it is a drastic step in the right direction. It is a very definite move to protect the sane, thoughtful common people,--those who have not run for fear of their own shadow,--but who have remained arid said: "I will stand by. I will go up or down with my community. If others must suffer I will suffer. I shall be of the last to ITiriiiniiiiiji |T|" • - r - - I f .

' » ! this serviee gladly and were able to make money for itself besides. Perhaps they have even thrown in a little legal advice and drawn a few legal papers on the side, but in that you usually get about the same kind of service that you paid for. But regardless of all that our bankers as a whole DO KNOW THEIR BANKING BUSJNESS as I shall seek and believe I shall be able to prove. Now we have our money in the bank at three per cent and it is left entirely up to our banker to conduct the business of his bank so it shall ngt fail to pay our interest. What does he do? He lets other people (for all the world like you and me) have it on good security at a higher rate of interest than he pays us. But they want it for one month, three months, six months, a year, two years, five years and they only agree to pay it back with interest WHEN THEIR PAPER BECOMES DUE. Some of those customers do not keep their promises and pay when they say they wiii, but the great majority of course are fair and their security is good and they keep faith and they do AS THEY AGREE. In return they EXPECT THE BANK JO DO AS IT AGREES AND NOT CALL THE LOAN BEFORE IT BECOMES DUE. This brings us right to the crux of the matter. Can we suppose for one instant, with an arrangement like this, that if EVERYONE WANTS ALL OF HIS MONEY AT ONE TIME that the banker CAN KEEP FAITH WITH THOSE TO WHOM HE HAS LOANED? It would be absurd! Preposterous! Now, of course, under ordinary conditions people are not panicky; by and large they follow a course of fairly good judgment find show just consideration in matters of this kind. But let a little storm brew on the financial horizon and some of these same people act for all the world like the proverbial bull in the china closet. %>me of them take to the streets, others come in at back deors, T>ut the code they chjuit is: Tm going to get mine whether anyone else gets his or not." This attitude is all wrong. It has always been wrong. It always will be wrong. It's true we are all selfish human beings, but there should be well defined limits even to our natural selfishness. There is an old legal Latin maxim that has come down through the ages. It reads: "Sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedaa" ' And translated means: ; *'So use your own as not to injure '»thers." - '.\/ Here is a truism that has stood the test of time. It is a good tonic for calm, sunny days, but it is a wonderful elexir for hectic and distraught times. "So use your own as not to injure others f" What a philosophy "In phrasel Well, now the banks have said in effect: "You depositors must keep the faith. We will keep faith with you if you will but allow us to do f3so. Any deposits drawn out in the ordinary course of business are all right, but these unwarranted withdrawals for hoarding purposes,. :for sock-stuffing, for confidence-shaking purposes,--THESE, -- ALL THESE you. I should so much like to have you get a copy of the February, 1932, issue of The American Magazine and read the article beginning on the first page. It is entitled: "In Times Like These," and is written by Calvin Coolidge. For me to even comment upon it is of course presumptuous, but if you will forgive me the presumptuousness I know you'll agree with me (after you've read it) when I say: It's Great! It touches our present situation exactly! And it's truly American in thought, purpose and effect! PLEASE READ IT. All of which is respectfully submitted to my friends and fellow citizens for what, if anything, It is worth. FLOYD E. ECKERT.

And from this calendar grew this deck of cards. The fifty-two cards, represent the weeks of the year. On these cards are 365 spots, a spot for each of the 365 days. The four suites stand for the four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter- Each suite has three face cards, twelve in all, representing the twelve months in a year. There is your deck of cards, taken from a calendar. The Joker, oh, yes, of course. The Joker is extra, put in far l<eap year. And the spots: diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades. They represent the four important things in life. The diamond is a symbol of wealth; the heart, of love; the club, protection; the spade, the home. Just when the first deck of cards was made nobody knoWs. Many nations claim it is their invention. This much we know: In a museum in Europe is a deck more than 1000 years old, and the Chinese and Japanese were playing cards as far back as the twelfth century. .
