splendor.
Considerably more room will be

windows, each specially allocated
to Notes Loans, Paying and
Receiving Tellers, etc., A very
smartly furnished directors’
room has been finished in choco
late brown leather with latest
^style walnut satin-smooth furn
iture to match. The comfort
and convenience of this room has
been extended, according to O.
A. Torgerson president and man
ager of the bank, to all con
ferences of officials, dignitaries
and distinguished visitors, if
necessary.
There will be two new book
keeping machines installed in
the new addition, as well as other
necessary furniture and fixtures.
Mr. Torgerson also states that
anothor bank employee is now
enroute from the States to
augment the present staff, whQ
are all taxed to their utmost to
care for the business. Latest pre
dictions made by Mr. Torgerson,
are that the banks deposits will
pass the §2,000,000 mark before
the end of 1941.
me new aaamon to tne oans,
which has been done under the
direction of John Steffgen. local
contractor, will have special
acoustic tiling ceiling, which pre
cludes any echo reverberating
from either the ceiling or walls
- making each room nearly
soundproof. Wainscoting through
out the entire structure is wal
nut veneer, finished in a dull-oil
rubbed finished, creating a very
luxurious effect.
The front part of the bank
addition will be leased by the U S.
Signal Corps, who will maintain
telegraph office through which
both incoming and outgoing
messages will be handled, accord
ing to Sergt. S. Harvey, operator
in charge. This office being
iocated so much nearer the

U. S. Signal Corps Adds
10 Percent to Charges
Effective October 1st, thert
will be a 10 percent Federal tax
on all total tolls collected by the
U. S. Signal Corps, here, on
every cable, radiogram and
domestic telegram.
This new tax is authorized
under the Revenue Act of 1941
and all telegraph companies over
the entire U. S. and its possess
ions will be forced to collect this
additional charge, which must be
paid at the time the message is
sent. In other words, a message
that used to cost $2.00, will have
the additional 10 percent added,
making the new charge for the
same message, $2.20.
Please Do Not Smoke
Otherwise .... 90 Days!
Certain persons have been in
dulging in a very selfish and
dangerous practice of smoking in
the movie-house lately. Not only
is this practice condusive to the
starting of fires, of which the
most of us have a holy hoiror
nowadays, but it is a very selfish
thing for one patron to smoke,
without thought as to whether
or not the person sitting next to
them enjoys the aroma of old
cigars, or the stench of stale
pipes.
Last week, a patron of a local
movie house was smoking, which
was against the custom of the
theatre, and they were request
ed to refrain from doing
so. Indignantly refusing, with the
aid of some vulgarity, they even
taully engaged in physicall com
bat with the authorities and
ended up the evening - not pleas
antly- but being sentenced to a
90 day sojourn in the local bas
tile.
Local theatre owners respect
fully request that all patrons re
frain from smoking inside the
show.
