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.
