section between Blair and Silas
will be the first road improved,
and Mr. Bogard stated that
grubbing and widening is now
being done, and that gravel
surfacing will be added later.
Other roads included in this
project, and of which specified
degrees of improvement were
recently mentioned are: New
Prospect and Huber road,
Timpson and Stockman road,
Timpson and Tennessee road
and Timpson and Corinth road.
The project calls for the use
of 70 men, though Mr. Bogard
stated that only 50 are avail-
able now.

tine is Federal inspector fof
the job.

(American Km Faints. lac.)
Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.
—The first law to be enacted
as a part of the Administra-
tion’s new recovery program,
the Housing Act, was passed
over the opposition of the
American Federation of Labor.
That is regarded here as signi-
fying that the split between
William Green’s A. F. of L.
and John L. Lewis’ Committee
on Industrial Organization has
resulted in breaking the pow-
er which the "Labor Lobby”
has for so long exercised over
Congress. This is such a revo-
lutionary condition that its
full significance has not yet
dawned upon Senators and
Representatives who have long
been accustomed to jumping
whenever Organized Labor
cracks the whip.
Labor Lobby Split
“Labor” used to mean the A.
F. of L. and nothing else.
Therefore, when Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts intro-
duced an amendment provid-
ing that all workers on build-
ings constructed under the new
Housing Act must be paid at
the “prevailing rate of wages”
and President William Green
of the Federation demanded
that that provision be put into
the bill, it seemed a foregone
conclusion that the Lodge
Amendment would stick. And
so it would h3ve except for the
■act that Mr. Lewis of the C. I.
O. declined to give it his bene-
diction. . .
There was no open state-
ment in opposition by Mr.
Lewis, but the word was quiet-
ly passed around that hi3 feel-
ings would not be hurt if the
Lodge amendment were over-
looked. For the first time in
years, the ranks of Organized
Labor are split. Instead of one
Labor Lobby there are two.
And the net result, so far as
Congress is concerned, is to
weaken the power of Labor to
influence legislation. .

Why is public confidence
so important to a Bank?
There are two main reasons why public
is so important to a bank.
confidence
In the first place people must have confidence in
a bank before they will deposit their money. This
means confidence in the honesty, integrity and
ability of the hank officers, plus the belief that
sound, efficient methods are used in its management.
Secondly, public confidence is important because
it gives the bank assurance of stable deposits. This,
in turn, enables the bank to loan or ur’c-i its funds
for reasonable periods in sound busiress undertak-
ings. It is the revenue from these loens and invest-
ments which make it possible for the uank to pay
its operating costs, build up reserves and pay stock-
holders a fair return on their invested capital.
The officers of this bank have justifiable pride in
the widespread public confidence it enjoy3 in this
community.
