With the recent bank failures tn many of the cities in northern Illinois, and even in this county during the past few months the** has been grave reason to fear that through some unfounded rumor a run might be started on one of the eighteen banks, which perhaps would not only ruin that institution, but might be the cfeuse of the downfall of other banks in the county. The banks of McHenry county are all solvent, but they can only remain solvent if the people continue to have faith in their stability. FVar is the Devil's pitchfork with which human lives are oft times wrecked, and fear for the safety of one's life savings is thq xnoat terrible state of mind that can come to many people. Banks are the financial life blood of every community, bat their very existence depends on the faith of the people in their integrity and stability. But fear wrecks faith and a loss of faith in the banks can only ^ result in their destruction. If the closing of a bank meant only a financial loss to a group of stockholders it might not be a matter of such concern, but the closing of any bank, no matter how sound and ample its assets may be, means a loss to everybody who has any financial dealings with that institution. Good banks loan their money on sound security to the people of their own communities. It is through these loang that farmers ' and businessmen alike find it possible to carry on their activities, it is. through these loans that homes are bought and many useful and worthwhile activities are fostered. In due course of events these loans are repaid to the bank, together with interest earnings. While the old loans are being repaid, new ones are being contracted with other patrons and thus the pro-, continues on and on. Mrs. August Rossman, 69 years old, died at her farm* home near McHenry ion Monday, Feb. 1. She was stricken "with paralysis last FridayyffonT^hich she never regained consciousness. Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the house' and 2 o'clock at Crystal Lake Lutheran church. Burial in Woodland cemetery, McHenry. Not far different are the transactions of the depositors who place their money in savings or checking accounts. These savings grow from year to year .until they are perhaps withdrawn for some purpose of the depositor. In normal times while one patron is depositing his or her money in the bank, another is making a withdrawal.' Thus the process continues and we are wont to judge the prosperity of a community by the size of its bank deposits. But when fear enters and for some reason foreign to the local situation the people lose faith in their banks, the more timid depositors, withdraw their funds, others follow and inevitably, if this continues long enough any bank, no matter how sound, must suspend and close its doors, simply because it cannot convert its assets into cash fast enough to meet the situation. -What follows the closing of a bank? The state or federal author!, ties^take charge and a receiver, perhaps personally unknown in the community, is appointed. He must employ legal counsel and then the process of converting the bank's assets into money gets under way. No matter how conscientiously and efficiently the receiver may operate, he must convert the bank's assets ihto cash as rapidly and expeditiously as is reasonably possible. This means extreme hardships and perhaps financial r.uin to many debtors and a serious depreciation in the assets to the depositors who must wait and wait for what money they get by this process of liquidation. The-banks of McHenry county have acted wisely in the present emergency. As of the close of business on February 1, 1932, they will refuse to permit the withdrawal of all savings and certificate of deposit accounts, together with dormant checking accounts. They will do this to protect all of the depositors of the banks. By refusing the few who through fear may desire to act on a selfish impulse, they will protect all, so that in a short time when the emergency has passed, the banks can resume their normal function of receiving deposits and paying withdrawals as the business needs or wishes of their patrons may require. We believe the steps .taken by the bankers of McHenry county to protect the monies plaoed in trust with them by thousands of loyal depositors will have the endorsement and approval of an overwhelming portion of our citizenry, and will result in re-establishing confidence in the minds and souls of a worried public. ^ CHAS.
