I keenly regret the necessity of this letter to the many good friends who we have been privileged to serve during our twenty-one years of business, because your friend ship and confidence in us aided the progress and growth of this in stitution and this fine community. Opening as a restricted bank af ter the National Bank Holiday of March 1933, because of circumstan ces which r.o one could control, we were faced with the difficult task of removing those restrictions. The success of this task depended on the co-operation and support of all parlies interested; officials of the bank, the State Banking De- parment and Depositors. A plan of reorganization was necessary for every restricted bank before it could be released of its restrictions, and a reorganization would have been far better for the depositors and community than a liquidation and such proceedure was impossi ble for the Bank of Beaverton. However, the strenuous efforts of the officials of this bank and a large number of depositors to wards a reorganization plan have been blocked by a small group of depositors. A committee was appointed at a meeting of the depositors held in our High school on February 10, 1934, for the purpose of reor ganizing the bank and this com mittee worked faithfully on a re organization plan, and a second meeting of the depositors was call ed and held in the High School, April 12, 1934, and the following plan was presented: $5000.00 paid in by the old stock holders, 507® of the res tricted Savings Deposits and 307c of the restricted Com mercial Deposits were to be taken over by the reorganized bank, and made available in cash to the Depositors at the time the reorgnized bank was opened. The assets not taken over by the reorganized bank were to be placed in the hands of three Trustees selected by the depositors and these Trus tees were to collect the slow assets, in an orderly manner, and pay the depositors. The stock in the reorganized bank, except the qualifying shares of Directors was to be held by the three Trustees, and the profits of this stock was to go to the depositors, until their deposits were paid in full, and if the stock was sold by the Trustees, then the sale prices was to be paid to the depositors. In order to complete this plan, it was necessary to have the ap proval of depositors representing 95% of the deposits. In other words, if all but 57® approved of it the plan would succeed and all of the depositors would eventually receive their deposits in full. It is a regrettable fact, however, that at this meeting four mem bers of the Committee, refused to indorse or accept the reorganiza tion plan, but instead presented a petition asking for immediate li quidation by the State Banking De partment, and the pity of it is, that the signers of this petition some thirty depositors controlled some over $50,000 in deposits or nearly 257« of the deposits, thus making the plan impossible. Our attention has recently been called to the fact that some of the signers of this petition asking for liquidation were informed that if they signed they would get their money at once. The officials and employees will continue to reside in this commun ity, and will continue to be at the service of their many friends, although they are forced out of the banking business, after a long hard fight to save the Bank from liquidation. £1 - On Oregon Farms É -------------------------------------------- SI Lakeview—Crested wheat and Smooth Brome grass are appar ently the only grasses to survive the past few years in most of the dry land forage nurseries in Lake county, according to V.

Her hands whipped to her tem ples, fingers fastened In the w hite gauze of the bandage and with a Jerk th e pulled It from her eyes. Sharp pains tore to the hack of her head.

From his rhost a dark stnln was spreading on the floor hoards. “You mean, you’d shoot me down, too? Recause I know?" Franz laughed mockingly, and tucked the brief case under one arm. “No," he salt!, and stepped closer. “It Isn’t plensant business. I’ve dis covered." A alight shudder trav eled his big txslv. "I wouldn’t harm a hair of your head. Kate . . un lesa It became necessary." He licked his lips again: the lights In his eyes were shifting and changing as he planned a way out for him self.

"What's In here, and liberty, are all I have left." He caught her hand aa she started to turn aw ay. "I can use them both, seeing that they're all I own. "We’ll start, now ; Just you snd I.

R. Beck, county agent, through a tel ephone survey of the various sec tions of the city recently. Early in May it looked as though there would be a heavy earwig infes tation this year, Mr. Beck says, but in the words of one homema ker, "Something has happened to them." Others interviewed say that the earwigs are small and puny this year. Additional evidence that the parasites have been getting in their work is found in the fact that most of the calls for earwig control now come from rural wo men, while formerly they came from city homemakers, Mr. Beck points out.
