New Term For All Directors Of State Bank All members of the board of directors of the State bank were re-elected this morning at the annual stockholders' meeting held at the bank.

Re-elected directors are Dr. Arthur G. Hyde, M. P. L.

Kirchhofer, H. J. Ledogar, president of the bank, J. A. Shaidnagle, E.

T. Vogt, Jacob Von Gunten and Arvine A. Ulrich. Officers of the board will be elected at the annual directors' meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 26, at 7 p.

m. IN HIS ANNUAL report to the stockholders, Ledogar said thai 1952 was a "year of great activity' for the bank and that "records of all prior years were surpassed." Deposits at the end of 1952 were $4,056,887.22, compared with $3,949,994.99 at the end of 1951, Ledogar said. He pointed out that demand deposits as well as savings deposits increased during the year. Deposits are the primary stock in trade of the bank, he said. The bank's consumer credit department, designed to provide a scurce of bank credit to more citizens, also grew during 1952.

Net operating earnings of the bank increased substantially in 1952 and after expenses and depreciation of $3,134.65, amounted to $30,317.42, an increase of $6,399.46 over the prior year, reflecting an increased income from the higher volume of loans outstanding during the year, Ledorar said. In December, 1952, $25,000 was transferred to the bank's surplus account from undivided profits. This increased the surplus to $200,000 and gave the bank a capital and surplus of $300,000 and a ending capacity of $30,000 to one customer, Ledogar said in his report.

The local- Marine sergeant has completed a 15-week course at the Marine radar repair school in San Diego, where he received instruction in such subjects as theory of operation, maintenance and repair of air-search radar equipment and anti-aircraft fire control radar equipment.

School Board Meets Tuesday Action to borrow money to finance operation of the local public school system pending receipt of taxes and other operating funds is expected to be taken by the board of education of the Massillon city school district at a special meeting to be held Tuesday noon in the board room in the Washington high school annex. It is expected that the board will vote to borrow $125,000 for a period of six months with the money to be repaid from revenue other than taxes.

The money is needed, it was announced today, to meet current operating expenses of the school system. Because a final payment of wages and salaries of its em- ployes was made Dec. 31 and because it failed to receive approximately $25,000 in tuition receipts from the state foundation program which ordinarily is forthcoming in November, the board finished the year of 1952 with a balance of only S4R6.43. On a number of occasions in the past the board borrowed money at about this time of year to enable it to meet its operating expenses until'revenue for the new year was forthcoming. AUTO IS LOOTED Charles A.

Mailat of 1330 3rd st SE told police that a box of groceries, valued at $10, and two cases of beer were stolen from his car Saturday night while it was parked in the 1000 block of Duncan st SW. The car was not locked, he informed Patrolman Joseph Slinger. ber of the house public works committee, also told a reporter advance agreement should be reached by the two countries on tolls to be charged ships using the seaway, HE SUGGESTED creation of aj commission to deal with the dians on these matters. Also, he said, a treaty should be drawn and ratified before congress authorizes U. S.

participation in the work. The Ohioan for years has fought legislation to authorize construction of the huge seaway project by this nation alone. Although some opponents of the seaway have softened their attitudes since the Canadian government announced plans build it alone, McGregor indicated this does not worry him. "If Canada wants to build it." he stated, "let her go ahead. It won't cost the canal users any more in tolls than if we had built it ourselves." As far as the power feature of the project is concerned, McGregor said he favors letting New York state build the necessary plants in cooperation with Ontario.

Held As Suspect In Auto Theft Because the operator of a local auto agency was suspicious, police this morning nabbed a suspect who admitted under questioning that he was driving a stolen car. Police said they apprehended the suspect, identified as John P. McGrail. 28, of Auburn, N. after receiving a tip that he tried to sell a spare tire and wheel at an auto agency here.

Patrolmen James Reed, Joseph Wetzel and Clark Bowman said they booked McGrail on a charge of- driving without a license while they investigate his story with police in Rome, N. Y. The officers said 'McGrail admitted stealing a new sedan in Rome early Sunday morning. They said he also told them he was now on parole for a similar charge. Patrolman Reed said the.

suspect would be charged with theft if Rome authorities confirm the ref port that the car was stolen. DON'T DELAY The Purchase of THAT NEW TOPCOAT At PIETZCKER'S 167 Lincoln Way, E.
