pertinent to the rehabilitation thereof
with the following depositors' com-
mittee: Franklin P. Kromer, David G.
Wilson, Yern J org-ensen, George Hall,
Benjamin H. Ludlow a \1(1 \\Talter R.
Faries.
"It would be greatly appreciated if
this resolution is adopted by your
board with the Ica~t possible dclay."
Decision to press the request for
information followed a visit of the de-
positors' committee to Harrisburg last
Friday, l\[ em hers of thc committee
were advi~ed hy the Statc Banking
Department to proceed in thc above
manner to secure the information they
desired.
A similar request originating from
the same source hut not naminl{ a
representative committce was refused
by directors of the hank at a meeting
December 15.
The next step in securing in fortna-
tion considercd necessarv for rchahili-
tation in connection \\:ith thc local
bank situation will be to secure the
approval of the State Banking Depart-
ment of those of the depositors' COIll-
mittee as heing the proper representa-
tive persons to secure such information.
According to a statement given out
by the depositurs' committee, their
primary objective is rchabilitation, al-
though, at this timc, no promises can
be made for the future. Their efforts
wil1 be devoted first to ascertain ccr-
tain facts regarding the Merion Title
and Trust Company, and on these
facts will rest the possibilities of later
devclopments.
Church Observing
Christmas Season
CONTINUEJ) FROIII TIlE FIUST PAt!m
All Saints Church' with a midnight
carol and communion scrvice beginning
at 11 o'clock Christmas Eve. At Holy
rrinity Lutheran Church a Dawn Sen'-
ice will be held Christmas morning at
6:30.
The origin of the dawn scrvice is
traced to the worship in the early
morning hours hy the shepherds of the
newly born babe "wrappcd in. swad-
dling clothes and lying in a manger"
in Bethlehem nearly 2000 years ago.
While the Dawn scrvicc at the
Lutheran Church is not strictly spcak-
ing a community service, a cordial in-
vitation is extended by the pastor, thc
Rev. Cletus A. Senft, to all whom arc
interested to attend.
A brief service will be held at the
Presbyterian Church at 9 :30 Christ-
mas morning.
All the churches have been decorated
in the customary manner with greens
and holly for the yuletide season.
Christmas Greetings
At Christmas time our fondest memories are of the old
home and our happiest thoughts are of today's home and
the loved ones in it.
For in the home is created that atmosphere of good will
and good cheer which we call the Spirit of Christmas.
Our best wishes for a Merry Christmas! May comfort,
happiness, peace and plenty abide in your home.
