"People thought the president of
a bank was doing them a b i g
favor if he let them talk to him
for a minute."
Gander said the banks with
their gloomy, forbidding appear
ance that seemed to tell the cus
tomer, "Transact your busiiness
and get out" were 'way off the
beam.
Buiinesi Grows
The young, foresighted busi
ness man decided some changes
were in order. Accordingly, he
organized the Bank Building and
Equipment Corporation of Amer
ica here and eventually had some
100 persons working for him.
They included engineers, dec
orators, salesmen, construction
men. clerks, accountants, a pub
lic relations staff, a sculptor, a
muralist and wood and marble
Workers.
Then Gander began a nation
wide tour, selling bankers on his
idea of a "new look" for banks:
the need of a "homey," cheerful
place of business with real cus
tomer appeal.
His Bank Building and Equip
m e n t Corporation began re
modeling what Gander terms the
"great marble barns horse and
buggy banks."
Now, with some 2.100 banks
either built or remodeled by his
firm, Gander has figured promi
nently in much of the bank con
struction in the United States.
A Gander-built project doesn't
tolerate such bank building
standbys as bars, heavy chande
liers, Greek temple-like exter
iors (he uses as little marble and
bronze as is possible!, high ceil
ings. dimly-lit tellers' cages and
cuspidors.
Ban Removed
A Pana, 111., teller once com
plained to Gander that the bars
around his cage made him feel
depressed. Now Gander's banks
have the tellers working behind
counters that reach 13 inches at
I the top. The teller conduct' his
business with the customer
through glass windows instead
of bars.
j Bv carefully blending eye
, pleasing color schemes with
i brightly-lighted interior layouts.
Gander says his banks have a
"living room atmosphere. Nor
are the bank executives cloister
ed in drab, secluded quarters
any more. Gander has them
working in modernized, air-conditioned
offices out in the open
where they readily can be seen
and contacted by the public.
Gander says his "new look"
project has met with almost uni
versal acclaim since the war be
cause "bankers are learning at
last that cheerful quarters are
not only desirable, but are a com
petitive necessity."

Of Counties Tell
Tourist Planning
Members of the Grants Pass
and Josephine County Chamber
of Commerce and the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
got together here at the Medford
hotel yesterday noon to exchange
information on the tourist at
tractions in the two counties and
decided that the meeting was so
successful there should be sim
ilar gatherings held at regular
intervals.
A delegation of eight Jo
sephine county chamber mem
bers here was headed by Charles
McLean, who reminded the
group that this area is the focal
point for vacationists looking
for mountains, trees and water
assets that are available in abun
dance in the Rogue valley. He
said the Chambers of Commerce
in the two counties should fos
ter loop trips around the valley
that would give visitors some
idea of the remarkable diversi
fication of attractions offered
here.
Outline Program
John Saider and Ray Clark of
the tourist committee of the
Jackson county chamber out
lined the widespread invitation
al and public information pro
gram that has been undertaken
by the local group.
E. C. Ferguson, managing ed
itor of The Mail Tribune and one
of the leaders of the movement
to establish a public museum in
Jacksonville, reviewed the his
tory of the campaign that has fi
nally resulted in the founding of
a repository for southern Ore
gon's historical treasures in the
old Jackson county courthouse.
Following the luncheon, the
group traveled to Jacksonville
where members of the Gold
Rush jubilee committee gave
them a special preview of the
museum. The visitors expressed
amazement at the progress that
has been made in restoring the
old building to its original
beauty.
Favor Sex Education
In Minnesota School
Minneapolis, Minn. (U.R) Min
nesota parents of grade and high

education in schools two to one,

Sex education found greater
acceptance among Minnesotans
with children now in school than
among others, but the same per
centage definitely opposed it in
both classes.

j Prehistoric Burial
Locations in Europe
Singcn. Germany (U.R) The
recent discovery of a nearly
4,0U0-year-old human skeleton
has furnished proof of human
settlement here from the early
Stone Age to shortly before the
Roman conquests.
Dr. Wolfgang Kimmig, chief
of the slate bureau for prehis
toric research in Freiburg, said
the discovery had "unanticipated
scientific importance."
' The discovery was made near
Lake Constance, together with
the excavation of ten other an
cient graves.
Only Ones of Kind
According to experts the ex
cavation sites here are the only
ones in central Europe through
which human history since 4000
B. C. can be traced with con
tinuity. The 4.000-year-old Bronze Age
skeleton, most recently found, is
that of a woman. She had been
buried in a sitting position, fac
ing east and had a ring, neck
lace, a large needle, and two
ankle-hoops, all made of bronze,
with her in the grave.
The other burial places re
vealed urns dating back 3000
years.
Estimates released by the cen
sus bureau show that the popula
tion of the United States, includ
ing members of the armed serv
ices overseas, totaled 150,183,
000 on November 1, 1949.

$15,000 Awaits Union
Ex-Head in Pensions
Chicago (U.R) The AFL Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workman's
Union wants to get in touch with
Michael Donnelly to give him
$15,000 in back pensions.
Patrick E. Gorman, the union's
secretary-treasurer, said Don
nelly' a former president of the
union, was last heard from six
years ago at San Francisco.
Donnelly, now in his 70s, was
president of the union from 1898
to 1905. In 1904 he led the union
on its first general national
strike. In a subsequent strike
Donnelly was beaten, Gorman
said, and the union was out of
touch with him from 1905 to
1916, when he turned up at
Fort Worth, Tex.
So far as is known, Gorman
said, he has no living relatives.
Gorman said Donnellv, in ad
dition to the $15,000 cash, would
be put on a $3,000-a-year pen
sion for life.
