Restriction of Withdrawals Necess ary During Holiday; Emergency Demands Will Be Met. Word has been received here by wire that Governor Julius L. Meier has declared a bank holiday effect ing the entire state, dating from this morning, March 2nd, 1933. A statement made by F. B. Sway- re, president of the First National Pauk of Hermiston to the effect that this bank will not close and that no depositor will be affected in any way except tnat it will be neces sary to restrict withdrawals until the holidays are over, which will be on Monday, March 6. The local bank will try to handle each case in such a way that no one will suffer and all emergency demands will be met. The bank will accept deposits which will be kept segregated until the holidays are over. All out of town checks will be taken for col lection only. It Is the opinion of Mr. Swayze that normal business will be resumed on Monday, March 6th. The move to close banks in Ore gon was made necessary because of the closing in California, and also in the middle and western states. Most of the banks in Oregon are keeping their doors open but any business done will be illegal during the holiday. Business will be dated Monday, March 6th.

TATE LIRE MARSHAL SERES OUT WARNING State fire marshal, A. H. Averill, sends out a letter stating that re ports and inspections have brought to the attention of his department the fact that there is a statewide violation of the state code relative to the proper use of exit lights In occupancies where said lights are required. Mr. Averill says that “In many hotels, apartments and rooming houses, the exit lights are being turned off or are being replaced with kerosene lights to save electri city.” Such lights, he says, must not at any time be permitted to be out of order and when out of order must be Immediately repaired. "This violation,” continues Mr. Averill, "constitutes a life hazard, and a statewide check-up by depu ties of this department will neces sarily require so much time that casualties may occur before the work can be completed.” ■----- » » »------ Every one of the 29 counties In •*************% he state that had county agricultu ral agents, assistant agents, or 4-H • ALONG THE CONCRETE « <• club agents have rehtred these men | ♦ for 1933 with the single exception 449949*********% The depression has made an Im of Josephine county, announces the Oregon Extension service at Corval- pression on two members of the lis.
