Show Helper Journa MARBLE SEASON IS HERE HELPER BUSINESS MEN MET IN VACANT LOTS TO ENJOY A FEW LEISURE MOMENTS With the banks closed, the repression still in full force and business quiet in Helper last Saturday morning, a baker's half dozen of the city's professional and business men gathered in one of the vacant lots to enjoy a little friendly game of marbles. At least, the game started out in friendly spirit and apparently was destined to continue that way. But Doc Dalpiaz began to get the ""winter kinks out of his fingers and feel the call of spring, and the marbles slowly but surely began to roll his way. Results of the Game The results of the game have been recorded as follows: Those e perfectly satisfied with the of the game, Dr. J. J.

Just what actually has been accomplished by he closing of the banks of the nation is a matter a little too deep for the average citizen to thoroly comprehend; it has caused many millions in gold to be redeposited in banks, it has brought out much hoarded money, enabled weaker banks an opportunity to reassemble their finances, and many other things which are foreign to average thought. But one thing of tangible and great actual merit has of public confidence been, accomplished the this alone were the If in the future prosperity of the nation. sole accomplishment of the national bank holiday the effort has been more than worth while. Lack of confidence in a national financial structure which was known to be more or less unsound has been the stumbling block for many months. President Roosevelt has stepped boldly into the picture and ordered drastic changes. Whether or not he has sufficient political backing to see his attempts thru to successful conclusion can only be learned thru passage of time. But one thing is certain: He has secured the moral support, encouragement and backing of a practically united public. We believe there have been but one or two instances in the history of our nation when the public has been as solidly back of a president as it is today. For twelve long years, thru the happy days of booming prosperity and down thru the financial crash and the heart breaking years of depression, the republican party held undisputed sway. True, they kept the nation on its gold stan dard and maintained the United States dollar at 100 cents in every money exchange of the world, but it was done at the expense of a patient and public. of the nation must have sensed this The for they elected a democratic president with the most complimentary vote ever given a presidential candidate; they gave him a democratic congress with undisputed power. In fact, they said: We have failed to keep our trust. But, greater still, they are united with the democrats of the nation in President Franklin D. Roosevelt their sincere moral support. President Roosevelt has accepted his trust in all honesty of purpose, the path ahead apparently lies open and comparak tentively free of obstruction. He has shown the dencies of Teddy Roosevelt. We urge the public, all political parties alike, to stand squarely behind our President and back him to the limit. i long-sufferin- g giv-in- g big-stic- Airport Site Is Leased DISCUSSION HEARD OF PROPOSED AIR MAIL ROUTE DENVER VIA PRICE TO SALT LAKE CITY EIGHT AND A HALF MONTHS OF SCHOOL ASSURED THE BOARD EFFECTS SAVINGS A minimum of eight and months for the present Car bon county school term was de cided upon last Saturday when the school board held its regular meeting in the board offices at Price according to Henry H. Jones of Helper, member of the board. Teachers Take Cut This term, it is understood, is made possible thru several rea sons, outstanding of which is a voluntary cut of 10 per cent in the salaries of all teachers and principles, effective as of January 1 of this year. Also, thru careful economy, the school board has saved approximately $40,000 of the expenditures outlined in the 1932-3- 3 budget. It is further understood the Carbon county schools will complete the present term with virtually no deficit. Budget Considered The 1933-3- 4 budget was considered and portions tentatively at the meeting, and it appears now that a saving of between $75,000 and $90,000 less than the budget of 1932-3may be possible. The matter of teachers salaries and transportation probably will not be taken up until the June meeting. one-hal- 3 Six hundred and forty acres of level tableland southwest of Price have been leased by Geo. Schultz and Earl Robinson of Latuda as an airport site. These gentlemen over the week end contacted members of the board of county commissioners and asked that the site be inspected preparatory to clearing a roadway. Brush already has been removed from the landing field and Its location miles from telephone wires and other hazards of flying is said to make it a most suitable location for its purpose. The airport is on a tableland and so situated that a takeoff into the wind can be made in any direction. Plans for the airport are arousing interest among outsiders, it is said, and many requests have been received for more detals as to specifications and location. Surrounded by level farm lands it also will make an ideal location for student flying as it will afford ample level land for forced landings. Air Mail Route Talked Some discussion has been heard locally of a proposed air mail route from Denver v'a Price to Salt Lake. It is presumed, however, such a route at this time would be of a private nature because of the postal department being opposed to establishing new air routes under its curtailed budget.

The revised measure is far more comprehensive, and includes "any article or thing of value of any kind whatsoever." It would provide an Inspection or license fee on hay, grain, coal, automobiles, receipts, and any article offered from door to door. The revised ordinahce appears to have several clauses which should be carefully studied by all persons whom it might affect.

The Helper State bank, a member of the federal reserve banking system, after two weeks of enforced inactivity during the national banking holiday, reopened for bus iness Wednesday morning under the same old system, continuing just where business had been left off and with no radical change in policies. thruout Wednesday Deposits were extremely heavy, exceeding withdrawals about seven to one. The new federal laws providing a fine and imprisonment for hoarding have caused much currency and gold to be deposited in the local bank, according to Cashier Jack Vignetto, and he believes the confidence of the public has been restored in the banks of the country. Withdrawals Are Okayed Sufficient cash is available for all business purposes, with a generous reserve more than designed to meet any emergency, and the checking and savings account will carry on as in the past, it not being necessary to open new accounts. However, any request for withdrawal of an unusual amount of cash will be questioned and when deemed advisable patrons will be requested to sign a withdrawal application blank stating the reason therefore. This blank then will be forwarded to the secretary of the federal treasury for approval before the money is issued. This method, however, is merely to prevent any hoarding and those wishing to withdraw a reasonable amount of money for legitimate purposes will encounter no difficulty. Helper Bank Sound The Helper State bank is a member of the federal reserve system and operates under close federal supervision. The bank was closed by federal law and permitted to open at the close of the banking holiday only after the government had thoroly investigated its financial condition and declared it to be absolutely sound and safe. The Helper State bank has adopted a new service charge that will be made against and when cashing checks drawn on banks outside Carbon county. This fee, however, will not apply to regular depositors and patrons. Conditions Reviving The two weeks banking holiday has had the desired effect against hoarding and accomplished the stabilization of many banks of the nation which were in a condition, according to Joseph Barboglio, president of the Helper State bank, and he believes it will do much to help give busid ness the upward turn. Economic highlights Headline news has surrounded the widespread bank holiday of the past two weeks. Only a slight unrest was noticeable among the ones who did not understand just what was being; done and at no time was there anything even remotely resembling panic. The holidays were declared to give time to prepare and pass legislation designed to protect deposits. Immediately preceding the general bank holiday, trade reviews reported steady improvement in the business picture. Favorable factors outnumbered the unfavorable a very 'definite change from conditions a few months ago. Eradstreet's pointed to better bank clearings as compared with a year ago, the decline In business failures, signs of stability in the wholesale food price index, and an evident satisfaction of industry in general over action taken to repeal prohibition. A noticeable strengthening of the public morale shown for example in improved security prices, accompanied the inauguration of President Roosevelt, and a further strengthening of confidence has resulted from the constructive inaugural address in which the President made a stand for sound money. rs rs semi-weaken- long-desire- flat-foote- d OFFICERS, HOWEVER, WILL REMAIN RIGHT ON THE JOB, THUS EFFECTING A SUBSTANTIAL SAVING TO CARBON COUNTY SALARIES ARE EQUAL-IZE- D IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS At the regular meeting of the county commissioners last week, they considered and adopted a proposal calling for all employes of the county, both elective and appointive, to take a month's vacation this year without pay. They will, however, during the vacation period, remain on the job and thus effect a substantial saving to Carbon county. Comminsioner C. R.
