VOLUME XXVII xoozuo *303 • gwiqn ° Jo HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, NUMBER 29 HERMISTON BANK GRANTED OFFICIAL LICENSE WEDNESDAY LOCAL BANK DOING BUSINESS AS BEFORE NATIONAL HOLIDAY. Total of 144 Active Banks In Oregon Now Doing Business; Much Gold Returned. The First National Bank of Her miston received its license from the Secretary of State at Washington, D. C., Wednesday morning by wire and officially opened for business, according to F. B. Swayze, presi dent. The local bank has been oper ating on a limited basis since Presi dent Roosevelt declared a national tanking holiday more than a week ago. The local bank is one of a total of 149 banks in Oregon, of which 144 are active, to open for business Wednesday operating either on a 100 per cent unlimited or restricted I asis. Such banks which have been officially opened are doing business the same as they were before the national bank holiday was declared. According to A. A. Schramm, state superintendent of banks, the state boasts of 80 active state banks and C t active national banks. In addition there are five non-active. Millions of dollars in gold have been returned to banks by hoarders since the president demanded a re turn of all gold to banks, and re stricted the discharge of any debt contracting payment in gold. FOUR UMATIII.A APPLICANTS FILED AT TRAINING CAMP. Vancouver Barracks, Wn., Mar. 13th (Special) Indicating another capacity attendance, more than 600 applications were already on file here this week for the 1933 Citi zens’ Military Training Camp to be held at this post beginning June 23, it was announced today, and among them are 4 from Umatilla county. An enrollment campaign now is under way. The camp, which will run for four weeks, is free to able-bodied young men between the ages of 17 and about 24, who are recommended by their pastors, school teachers, city or county officials, or reserve, national guard or regular army of ficers in their communities. Appli cants may communicate directly with C. M. T. C. headquarters at Vancouver Barracks, or with enroll ment committee members in their counties. Prompt action on the part of any prospective applicants in Umatilla county who have not yet sought ad mission was advised today, for the response has been hearty over the camp area as a whole so far, and late applicants may get caught in the rush at the end of the enroll ment period. The quota is 590 as in 1932, but due to the fact that a few counties each year send in far more applications than their quotas permit, and also due to the fact that scores of applicants annually fail to qualify for various reasons, there is still room for candidates even though some 600 requests are on file. last year more than 1300 ap plications were received.

College girls forced by financial reasons to work to remain in school need not consider this entirely a misfortune, judging from the re plies of close to 100 women students and graduates of Oregon State col lege who replied to questions as to how they look upon their experien ces with self-help. Advantages gained by working, as given in the replies, include that it gives appreciation of education, prepares for later life, teaches value of money, gives self-reliance and ex perience, promotes initiative and brings about a democratic spirit. Disadvantages were mostly in neces sary curtailment of social or extra- curricular activities, and difficulties with study schedules. Housework led in the kind of em ployment. though many girls did office, laboratory, stockroom and tea room work, or cared for children. This year more than twice as many co-eds are filling regular positions than were employed last year. Our civilization depends on spirit ual ideala.—Lady Astor.
