H. L. Trezise, Editor and Publisher IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER I HE First National Bank of field re-opened for business last Monday morning and this community is again enjoying the facilities offered by a banking institution. community came to realize, more than ever before, how necessary a banking- institution is to a community during the time the First National bank was closed.

Now that the bank has reopened it is pleasing to look over the past few months and recall some of the things that happened during the time a plan was being worked out for the re-opening-of the bank. A unified community cheerfully co-operated with a committee that labored conscientiously and tirelessly to accomplish something that would benefit everyone. Individuals and civic organizations, notable among which was the local American Legion post, gave their unstinted co-operation. A group of bank officials planned well and worked hard so that the bank might ultimately re-open. It is pleasing, too, to note that the First National Bank of Wakefield was one of the first national banks in the Ninth Federal Reserve District that received permission to re-open.

That in itself should be proof that the government officials were satisfied with the plan under which the local bank was re-opened. Wakefield again joins cities of America with sound banking- institutions. This, together with other optimistic signs that are appearing on the horizon, makes it easier to peer into an encouraging looking future. upper peninsula is familiar with the sage uttering-s of Chase S.

The senate thought it best to incorporate it in the revenue producing bill. But the governor thinks welfare is much more important just now than education ami he is fearful that the setting aside of so much money for education hight not leave as much as he thinks necessary for welfare.

Representative Vefnon J. Brown does not believe should be passed. But jobs are jobs these days. If taxpayers who have a desire to keep the property they now hold in their name, they should immediately pay their 1932 tax and thereby secure the benefit of the greatly repaired and improved Moore delinquent tax bill that is now law.
