Peoples Bank Makes Payment on Certificates The Peoples National bank of this village is making a five per cent payment on certificates of participation, which were issued in the fall of 1933. This makes a total payment of 65 per cent of the. certificates. In other words, if a person had $100 in the bank at the time of the federal closing in the spring of 1933, he was given $70 in cash that fall and., a certificate of $30. The pay- ment mentioned above is 65 per cent of that certificate or a repayment of $19.50 on the $30 certificate. This comes at a time when it can be well used to invest in war bonds of the Third Viptory Loan. Nail Last Shingle, Then Comes Downpour of Rain The last shingle in the roof of the Margaretville hospital was laid Friday of last week about mid- forenoon.

Plumberis and elec- tricians are putting in the "rough- ing" to keep ahead of the car- penters. The hospital is continually turn- ing away patients because the building is filled and it seems quite possible the second floor of the addition will be filled as soon as opened. If this comes about it will be possible to finish the basement floor into patient rooms and wards. This was not con- templated in the original plans.

Guests came for Saturday night and, went away on Sunday afternoon. 1942 brought an unusually good season. But not one like the present.
