f QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED ABOUT BANKING | f f -f ' f rr. &a*l c^umiMm ¦ YES , bank examiners visit our bank peri- odically and go over our records . These government officials arc representa- tives of the State or Federal banking author- ities. Every incorporated bank in the United States chartered to conduct a banking business is examined. They are visited without ad- vance warning and the examiners have imme- diate access to all of the bank' s cash , securities , I books and records. They report at consider- able length on the bank' s assets , liabilities , methods , policies , loans , investments and other factors which determine its soundness. On the basis of the reports of these examiners banking authorities -are able to make any suggestions or recommendations they feel are necessary or desirable. Bank examinations are an added safeguard for depositors ' money—in addition to the competent management and sound banking practices of the bank . •- The Pattiltogije CM MIM Bank and Trust Co.

Swezey to Be Successor YOU ALL PAY TAXES An analysis made by the National Consumers Tax commission indicates that 56 per cent of all federal , state and local revenue comes from hidden taxes buried in the letail cost of goods , and services . A Gallup poll indicates that one voted in every four thinks that he pays no taxes in any way, shape or form, You all pay, even down to , the poorest person on relief. BITTER ABOUT BILLBOARDS Speakers at the ninth annual luncheon of the Roadsid e committee of .th e Long Island association at the Garden City hotel • recently were more aggressive than they have been •in former years. The reason was revealed by their addresses. Anti-billboard legislation was spon- sored by public officials , roadside committees , garden clubs and simi- lar organizations in 26 states last Winter. In 25 states their efforts wore virtually wasted , for a real ef- fective law for the regulation of bill- hoards was adopted in only one state. Minor gains were made in several others. The New York State Legislature has consistently killed billboard leg- islation for at least 10 years. Fre- quently bills do not even get out of committee. Last winter a member whose name appeared on the bill was instrumental in holding it in commit- tee. The women , who are leaders in anti-billboard legislation are finally getting wise to themselves. They realize the duplicity and' corruption by. which the prostitution of the road- sides continues contrary to the bulk of public s entiment. Outdoor adver- tising concerns and associated inter- ests are killing the legislation. They do not have as much strength numer- ically,, but they are better politicians. * * * When the women of the garden clubs , roadside committees and sim- ilar societies stop being nice about this matter and light the billboards with their own medicine we will get somewhere . That time has come. —Nassau Daily Review-Star , Rockville Centre. Wm*mmmgwM ® M rs. Olive Munby busily gathers items of interest to Farmingville residents each week.

BEWARE OF AUTO GAS Good advice from Albany: A thor- ough inspection of exhaust systems , earburetion and ignition of motor vehicles as a precautionary measure against carb on monoxide gas is rec- ommended to motorists by State Mo- tor Vehicle Commissioner Carroll E. Mealey. Pointing out that an estimated five per cent of the cars on the roads today ' contain a dangerous • concen- tration of the gas , the commissioner said how is the best time for motor- ists to ' discover any mechanical faults and have them corrected. • \Carbon monoxide is generated in large volumes when fuel combustion in your car is incomplete or ineffic- ient , \ Commissioner Mealey said , f' and . unless the exhaust system of your xiar is in good condition , fumes are certain to seep into your ear. \ \It hais been found that even: a relatively small amount of carbon anonoxide , when inhaled over a per- iod of time , imp airs driving - ability and retard s the - operator ' s reaction , ¦usually with out the driver becoming aware- ' of the fact. \ LESS FRIVOLOUS That boys and girl s who entered college this semester are more ser- iou s , have more definite vocational objectives and are in better physical condition than the college Freshman of ten years ago , are some of the conclusions drawn by the American Schools association of Rockefeller Center. This is based on interviews with prospective college students in New , York and Chicago, The associa- tion^- finds that the average student today is more serious than his proto- type of ten years ago. He reads more books and displays a greater interest in national affairs. He is three months younger , approximately a quarter of an inch taller and spends $210 less on education. . More boys than -girls indicated - th at they had definite careers in mind and that they were slanting their education towards definite objectives.
