Heppner Bank Shows
Gain in Both Loans
And Deposits
Quarterly statement of condi
tion figures released by the Hepp
ner branch of First National Bank
of Portland show that on March
31, 1957, deposits at the branch
were $6,085,496 and loans were
$3,233,047, according to J. II. Bed
ford, manager of the local branch.
Released at the same time
were comparable totals for the
branch for March 31. 1956. On
that date, deposits were $5,640,
566 and loans totaled $2,801,238.
Further figures show that on
March 31, 1957, deposits at the
First National and its 74 state
wide banking offices were $764,
700,115, loans were $129,130,115,
and resources were $849,815,416.
In releasing the figures, C. B.
Stephenson, First National presi
dent, said the totals represent an
increase in loans and a decrease
in deposits over a year ago.
Loans increased $21,213,140 since
March 31, 1956, and deposits drop,
ped $ll,113,871in the same per
iod. Stephenson said the Increase In
loans during the past year re
flects a demand for credit arising
from many segments of the state's
economy and is coincidental with
continued high level of business
in most areas.
The decline In deposits Is due
to heavy consumer buying, a
slowdown in the lumber business
and higher taxes being paid by
individuals and corporations, the
bank president reported.

County Savings Bond
Sales Drop in March,
First 3 Months High
Sales of E and H savings
bonds in Morrow county in March
were $16,077, compared to the
total a year ago of $25,557, ac
cording to County Savings bonds
committee chairman, Jack Bed
ford. "While the sale of United States
Treasury savings bonds was lower
in March in the State of Ore
gon than it was a year ago, our
March sales In this state were
almost one-half million dollars
higher than they were in Febru
ary", said Bedford. This climb
back toward normal sales may
be in part due to the increase in
knowledge among prospective
buyers that the new 3',4 inter
est rate for E and H bonds will
apply to all of them bought since
February 1.
Bedford said that May 1 of this
yeas will mark the sixteenth an
niversary of the savings bonds
program. He said' the occasion
will be the beginning of Minute
Man Month, which will be suit
ably observed all over the coun
try. Though sales during March were
down in the county, sales for the
first three months of the year are
well ahead of last year, $124,592
compared to $70,136. The county
has already reached 45.8 percent
of its 1957 quota, it is reported.
