Mrs. Henry Weber and Family The Martin Weber Family The Walter Smith Family MONEY AND BANKING ====== In Everyday Living ===== HINTS FOR HOME-BUYERS The sight of a gleaming modern kitchen or a pine-panelled breakfast nook tends to make many a prospective home-buyer forget some common-sense questions. Keep these on your mental check-list when you look at any new house: Does the structure lend itself to expansion? Is the location handy to shopping facilities ... to school and church? Has the seller a reputation for business integrity? Is the house really wellbuilt? As to this last, Unless you are an expert in such matters, it's a good idea to have someone who is inspect any house that interests you. • • • JUNE "COMMENCEMENT" nowadays m eon s a " begin n i ng " of further education for more and more high-school graduates. In the fall of 1953 over 2,500,000 Americans enrolled in institutions of higher learning. "Gl" benefits helped some of them, of course. But How did many others manage; and how, years hence, can you be in a position to provide like opportunity for your youngsters? An answer to both questions: Through saving. Why not start setting asid6 a definite part of your regular income, specifically for educational purposes, at our bank? CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING loans for agriculture made by hanks in the U.S.A. total more than $5 billion, according to recent figures. Banks provide more credit to help America's farmers than ddT1 institutional lenders of any other single kind. STATE Interest Paid On Savings Deposits Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Member Federal Reserve System PHONE 1040 TO The membership dinner of the American Legion auxiliary was very well attended. The eighty or more members and guests enjoyed a fine dinner well served by members of the post. The Legionnaires inserted impromptu bits of comedy1 into their work. While the ladies w£re debating the propriety of tipping the waiters, they wheeled in a bushel basket to ho^d the gratuities. Some of the girls thought it. might be a good idea to give them their telephone numbers in lieu of a cash tip. The basket idea was Bernie Matchen's we. understand. The rest of them approved it, however. Among the guests present at the dinner were the district direct tor and secretary and the county presidnet and secretary, Dorothy Rogman, Alta Schmieding, Heien Corey and Alice Beardsley. Ping ' were presented jto those who have ten years or more membership in the auxiliary. There were many past presidents among the group. Pins may be obtained at the next meeting if anyone eligible failed to attend the dinner. Georgia Stueben,' as membership chairman, presented the pins after a short speech by our president,' Mrs. Mikota. The district director and the county president also gave short talks and lauded McHenry unit on their successful completion of all programs. The auxiliary menfolk were invited to join the ladies after the dinner. Many of them did so. Dorothy Weichmann and her winning team were "free-loaders" at the dinner as a reward, for bringing in so many new members. Both teams worked hard to put the unit over the quota, especially Christine Krinn, who got twenty-seven new members, and was properly booed by the losers. Christine is hard to beat at anything, so we of the losing team were not too crestfallen. While the membership drive is closed,; anyone interested and eligible may join at any time and will be a welcome addition to our unit.
