The young man's death was the result of infection which set in Tuesday, five days after an accident acci-dent in which he suffered a badly broken arm. Thursday night Mr. Sagers, with several young men and lady friends, were out riding in the Sagers car. They were showing a friend from California around and were driving towards Lehl.

BANKS RESUME BUSINESS OPENINO OF FINANCIAL INSTI TUTIONS RESTORES CONFIDENCE CONFI-DENCE AND OPTIMISM OF PUBLIC The reopening of Federal and Na tional banks on Tuesday and state institutions on Wednesday had m most reassuring effect upon the lo cal, state and national population and actually brought back a spirit of optimism that has been lacking In the country for months and months. Besides restoring confidence in the banking system of the nation the opening actually gave people a new lease on life and the feeling la every where prevalent that the country is actually on the up grade out of the deep trough of depression Into which we have been sliding for the past three years. As concrete evidence of the actual improvement expected price lists on lumber, paper, metals, cotton and numerous other basic products have actually been withdrawn and in cases shipments are refused until higher prices are established.

Roosevelt sized up the banking situation and the business like manner to which he has handled the matter. A feeling feel-ing of optimism and confidence of this country which promises to lift us out of the deepest depths of depression to which the country coun-try has sunk since the dark days of the Civil war. Business is already taking on hoies the country over and the banking regulations and rulings are giving everyone a new confidence confi-dence In this country of ours and Its future. More power to a man who can tnd will assume the responslblll-;y responslblll-;y of this nation at a time when ast and sure action must come to t.avc us from utter colluise. BEVERLY HILLS. Well all I now Is just what I read in the payers, pa-yers, and what I hear through the Btatlc. Now that t h e Innaugural Is all over we got nothing to do but Just sit and see who is going to help who, and why. We have waited all this time to see what could be done, and if anything Is done it will be a surprise sur-prise to us. We have about give up the idea of being be-ing made rich overnight, but we da hare hopes of something falling In our lap. j Henry Ford ia thinking about taking tak-ing up the banking business now, so we will all go plumb to Detroit to deposit. He has some scheme where you say when you put It in whether you want it back or not. Folks have got 10 used to being doubtful that he Is going to let em gay, here I want this money back. Well then he puts It in a separate radiator, or tunneau, or in some old spare tires, but anyhow when you want It is supposed to be still there. Maby you dont get any Interest but heretofore It has been maby you dont get any principal. So he Is going go-ing to fix so you do get your roll back. That in Itself will make the ' bank a novelty. Ford always comes through with some original and mighty good ' Ideas when the time comes. This 1 scheme that Mr Roosevelt Is talking talk-ing of down in the Tennessee Valley Val-ley where you farm, and work In a factory, all that Is being and has ) been done by Mr Ford on hU htg ! farms in Michigan. He has factories I near the- farms and they work on each at different times of the year. ' I tell you everybody ought to have ' two or three things , they work at, I then when one busts they got the j other. These moratoriums they are having hav-ing all over the country are mighty I good things. We thought of em for Europe three or four years ago, but I nobody ever thought of em for us. We said, lets Ox so Europe dont ' hare to pay their debt. Then It took us three years to think of, lets tlx so wo dont have to pay nurs. We are just naturally a fast thinking people. We had thought of everything every-thing to relieve the farmer, but to keep him from losing his farm, and th funny part about It the banker ll(lnt want it. But we Just thought well we always al-ways have foreclosed, why do anything any-thing different, plving him some more years to pay In never entered any ones mind. Now we are all sitting sit-ting pretty, If we owe anybody we just wavo to em and boiler "Moratorium, "Mora-torium, happy Moratorium to you!" You see the fellow that loaned the money Is always better able to lose It than tlie fellow that borrowed bor-rowed It, the fellow that borrows It blows It In and never uses It for the cause that he borrowed it, but the fellow that loaned it, he- never loaned all that he had, he only loaned what he could spare, so If he could spare that much, why he dldent need this that he loaned. So you see the Moratorium dldent hurt anybody, and then Its an awful pretty word anyhow, its like propaganda, propa-ganda, and a 1m of new things that we have scared up since the war. We used to call It just spreading bad news, and they generally Just did it out of pure devilment, but now that Its called propaganda and they get paid to spread It why Hi legitimate. The difference between doing a thing for money and doing It tor nothing makes It legal. So half the enjoyment now is folks paid to spread some lie that wi'l aid somebody, am the whole coun try Is clogged with propagan da, where l! used to only be clogged with house file!1, m e a s e 1 s, and cramp colic, but all In all its great country.

Lions Club Urges Paint-up Campaign The American Fork Lions club is sponsoring a. paint up campaign for American Pork the matter coming up for discussion at the regular luncheon Thursday. Attention was called to the shabby condition of our business houses and here is where the work will be started. All business houses are urged to brighten up their buildings with a new coat of paint and the citizens in general are urged to start early this year in the clean up and paint up work. A few dollars spent for paint and some effort on the part of the owners will result in a great Improvement In our city. The club also appointed a special committee to visit all business concerns con-cerns and urged them to boost and sell American Fork produce and products where ever possible. The success of our community depends a lot on the help each can give the other. Insist on local bakery products. pro-ducts. Mutual Creamery products, home grown produce, American Fork milled products, etc. The Increased sale of all these products means Increased local labor and spending power, it was pointed out. tttm domduumT i ier First ward "Tuning In On Future". This act depleted television tele-vision and an M. I. A. broadcast of the nations with a pleasing surprise climax in which "Old Glory" was displayed. The characters were all appropriately costumed and In the end "Miss America'' was proclaimed the sweetheart of the world. This act was especially colorful and the singers were outstanding. The television apparatus was cleverly clev-erly worked out. The 8eoond ward show "Sailing On" was centered around the "good ship ML I. A." which was constructed construct-ed on special scenery. The captain was the "Era" the mascots were two gold and green "frogs" and youth on board indulged in singing and dancing, with M, I. A. songs predominating. This was a singing and dancing act well done. Third ward "M. L A. To Otllde The Way'. This act was divided Into three short scenes. In the first, young people on the roadway of life are undecided between be-tween Temptation and M. I. A.. Some go with temptation and the others follow M. L A. In the Second Sec-ond scene those who succumb , to temptation are shown chained by their faults and in daridtess and despair. M. L A. and net members entreat them to break lapse and come on the road to life gbundant. The last scene shows them on the right road taking part in the M. L A. constructive leisure time program. pro-gram. A splendid theme well developed. de-veloped. Fourth ward "The Challenge" was the name of this wards act and the battle between good and evil was waged with "Youth of Zion" taken safely through and on to the path of good ideals as taught and upheld by the M. I. A. The soldiers and flag bearers with their shields and spears, the uniformity of marching and the theme songs were splendid. The road show was repeated in Flrmage Hall Wednesday night that the players could witness the acts of the other wards, and for those of the public who were unable to attend Monday night. o AMERICAN FORK LOSES FINE FAMILY Apartment, reenforced concrete and fireproof building stood the severe shock well It housed Wm.

The first night most of us made use of the park or ground floor accomodations. The death list was about 150. The water was shut off for a time and the gas used for cooking and heating to also shut off. The public at large are fed from im provised kitchens and tents. The government navy department is housing the homeless. The city Is under complete miE .ory control, but all that can be done is being done. Considering every thing it la a wonder that it was not much worse and the loss of life much larger. The shock was very severe, and It was an experience no one wants to go through again. One and two story buildings of brick and brick veneered suffered the most. Tall concrete buildings were little damaged. People who remained Indoors In-doors were generally sate, those rushing to thettreet were caught by falling debris and many killed. In fact, most all those killed, were killed kill-ed from that cause. o ' M. I. A. UNION MEETING POSTPONED The regular union meeting of the stake M. I. A. has been postponed for one week. This was found neces-. sary in order to avoid a conflict with the stake play "Broken Dishes" which Is to be given Monday night next. The meeting March 27 th, will be in the form of a testimonial to Brother Lloyd Adamson, Sister Adelaide Ade-laide Beach and other retiring members mem-bers of the board. It win be held in the tabernacle. All ward and stake workers and their partners are urged to be present. Many Attend Relief Society Program Over 500 persons visited the Alpine Stake Relief society exhibit of handwork hand-work in the Second ward Tuesday afternoon, when In commeratlon of the 91st anniversary of the organization organiza-tion of the Relief Society exercises were held. There was a beautiful array of handwork of the four wards of the city, 466 articles being displayed. dis-played. Including 100 quilts of every variety, exquisite needle work, rugs, bed spreads, paintings, pillows, lamps, novelties, etc. Remodeled clothing was especially featured by the First, Third and Fourth wards. Another Interesting feature was the exhibit of relics of "ye olden days". Baby dresses made 94 years ago, pewter and silver brought over from Encland bv the Dloneers. aullts .1m.!

American Fork lost one of her most popular and promising young families this week when Dr. and Mrs. A. O. Brockbank moved to Spanish Fork, where they are to make their future home. In addition to being a fine citizen Dr. Brockbank proved himself to be one of the best and most popular dentists of this section and has enjoyed a most enviable practice while here. The death of one of Spanish Fork's dentists left that field open at this time with but one other dentist there and since there are five here Dr. Brockbank finally decided to move to his form er home town where the possibilities of a larger practice prevails. Since locating in American Fork in September of 1927, and establish-, tng one of the most modern dental offices in the city Dr. Brockbank has enjoyed more than his portion of the made nioie than 100 years ago, ana ' many other articles attracted the at- utah county.
