NEW RELIEF PROBLEM
Sherman, Tex.. May 7. (UP)
—Marion Wilson, county relief
administrator, is faced with a
new kind of relief problem.
An increasing number of
men in the county wbo are on
relief rolls are getting mar-
ried, Wilson said, and the
situation is getting serious.
“Men on relief rolls have
no right to assume new respon-
sibilities when they ean’t
handle what they already
have,” Wilson said.
THE ECONOMIC STRENGTH
OF OUR COMMUNITY
Banks are a part of the economic blood and
sinew of all community life. Without banks
commerce and industry could not cany on,
nor contribute to die economic welfare of the
people.
In times of prosperity unusual demands
upon financial institutions are few; therefore
their stability is considered a matter of fact.
But when conditions drop to normal or below
—’tis then the fundamental soundness and
foundation strength of a bank is tested.
This institution was built upon solid rock
and built to stand the test of both good times
| and bad times. With adequate resources it
stands today a distinctive power in the promo-
tion of local industry and community progress.
Make this bank your bank.

Gains of 121,000,000 in em-
ployment and 55,400,000 in
weekly pay rolls during March
were announced by Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins as a
result of complete tabulation
of reports from all classes of
industries. They were the
fourth successive monthly
gains.
Employment to the end of
March, smee which time it has
increased materially according
to private reporting agencies,
was 40.1 per cent above March,
1933, and weekly pay rolls 91
per cent higher. The non-
durable or consumer goods in-
dustries employment index at
the end of March stood at 94.8
per cent of the 1923-25 aver-
age and a 2.2 per cent in-
crease during the month
brought the index of employ-
ment in the durable goods in-
dustries up to 70.8 per cent of
the 1923-25 base period. This
means that 71 out of every 100
workers in this group during
the base period had secured
jobs in March, 1935.
Pay roll gains in both groups
were more pronounced than
employment gains, the in-
crease for the month amount-

The Purpose of
Deposit Insurance
When Congress created the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation its pri-
mary objective was the protection of
depositors. This Corporation began in-
suring deposits January 1, 1934. It is a
permanent organization.
It now insures deposits in a great ma-
jority of the banks, including this institu-
tion. As a result, millions of depositors
enjoy a degree of financial security here-
tofore unknown. When you have money
on deposit here you know for a certainty
that your deposits up to $5,000 are fully
safeguarded against loss. Deposit insur-
ance is for your protection.
