( AP) The Reconstruction Corporation to day denied rumors it was discontin uing loans to banks. At a press conference, Gardner Cowles. a director, said "there la not the slightest foundation for any such statement. 7. C T. U. Notes By Mrs. Wm. H. Hill. The W. C. T. U. Is an organization of Christian women of every creed, banded together for the protection of the home, the abolition of the liquor traffic and the triumph of Christ's golden rule In custom and In law. In 1874 a declaration of principles, written by Frances Wlllard reads like 1033 technocracy. "We believe In the coming of His Kingdom. . . . We believe in the gospel of the goldon rule and that each man's habits of life should be an example safe and beneficent for every other man or women to follow. We believe In one standard of purity for both men and women and In the equal right of all to hold opinions and to express the same with equal free dom. We believe in an equal wage; In an eight hour day; courts of conciliation and arbitration; In Justice as opposed to greed ana gain. We .therefore formulate and for ourselves adopt the following pledge: I hereby solemnly promise God helping me, to abstain from all dis tilled, fermented and malt liquors, including wine, beer and cider and to employ all proper means to dis courage the use of the traffic In' the same.' "To enforce and conform the ra tionale of this pledge, we declare our purpose to educate the young; to form a better public sentiment. To reform as far as possible by religious, ethical and scientific means the drinking classes; to seek the trans forming power of Divine Grace for ourselves and all for whom we work that they and we pledge ourselves to labor and to pray that all these prin ciples founded upon the gospel of Christ may be worked out Into the customs of society and the laws of the land." Our limited space prevents us giv ing you further light on how the W. C. T. U. functions In Its activities, but next week we will continue to show how Its program Is carried out even to every country on the globe. Keep this one thought In mind: That the W. C. T. U. Is not a mill tant organization. It Is not a home missionary society with evangelism as Its main objective, although Its prin ciples are founded on the gospel of Christ. j Whipple Band to Play The Whip ple Juvenile band, which has enjoy ed wonderful progress in a short pe riod of time, will entertain for tfhe benefit of the public Saturday after noon at 2 o'clock, from station KMED.
