Weekly newspapers average gain
in income of six per cent in 1954
Bailey bank is
merged with State
Bank of Bonham
CHICAGO—A six per cent in-
crease in total income for 1954
as compared with 1953 is record-
ed for the average weekly news-
paper in the United States.
This is the result of a report
submitted in tl.-c fourth annual
National Weekly Newspaper cost
study.
While the total income was six
per cent greater, the publisher’s
'otal earnings increased 3.8 per
cent in 1954 over the average.
From 40 states, 248 returns
were submitted by publishers of
weekly and semi weekly news-
papers for the study, which is
sponsored by Newspaper Associa-
tion Managers and the Weekly
Newspaper Bureau of the Nation-
al Editorial assn.
Nineteen state newspaper asso-
ciations and NEA cooperated in
this national study.
Carl Webb, manager of the
Oregon Newspaper Publishers
assn, again handled the compila-
tion and analysis of the study. He
is chairman of the Cost Study
committees for both NAM and
NEA.
“We not only had more returns
this year than in any previous
year, but best of all, we had more
perfect questionnaires submitted," I of
Mr. Webb said.
Hi Girls:
How do you feel now that
graduation is all over, school out,
and all the children out of school
for the summer?
I know the date
on the calendar
is right, but
still, I can hard- j
ly believe that i
another summer;
vacation time is |
upon us. It only
seems a few short weeks ago, I
was getting my children ready
for the fall term.
Have you ever stopped to won-
der where time goes? Wouldn’t
it he fascinating to know? Do you
suppose it rolls away, like camera
film, to be filed away by God in
some celestial liling cabinet? I
hate to think that it is just gone,
finished!
Just think, if it were filed
away, what did you do yesterday
that you would like for God to
pull from the filing case and ex-
amine? Maybe compare yester-
i day with the same date one, five,
ten years ago?
Future Growing Shorter
I wonder, if we had some sys-
tem of filing time away for our
selves, if it would make us realize
that it would most certainly be-
hoove us to make the very best
of each day! A learned man once
said that the only trouble with
the future .... it just get short-
er, all the time! It does, you know,
Each day we live brings us closer
to the final day we spend on
earth.
If you knew that a certain day, ,
say June 10, 1955, was the last i
day -ou would lire, what would
i ii do? ou!d you make up, in j
| j. st one day, for all the things
you failed to do, or all the days
vou failed to say something to I
lighten a burden for your fellow
man?
i In just 24 hours, could you un- j
I do all the petty little deeds you
may have done? Could you un-say j
j all the hateful, harmful remarks
! you have made carelessly to and j
| about people? In short, in just i.
i few hours, could you do one j
thing, that would make you think
that you weie ready to face God? I
Some years ago, I invited 1
someone to go to church with me, ;
to hear mv pastor speak, as I
hoped Brother Paul could make
an impiession that would cause j
this person to want to lead a
better life.
You know what I was told?
"Well, 1 do intend to join the
church some day, when I’m ready
to settle down, but I still want
to have some fun before I do.”
Hope and Faith
Now, of course what this man
didn’t realize, was that, although
none of us lives as close to God
as we should, Christian people are
happier and have more fun than
any other people on earth, as
Christians have faith and hope.
So, 1 asked him what he intend-
ed doing, waste his entire life,
then ask God to accept him, after
so many wasted years, and slide
into Heaven by the skin of his
teeth?
That is the idea so many peo-
ple have. They seem to think that
they will live forever and that
they will automatically have time
to call on God, at the last minute.

with the Bonham State Bank of

was revealed today by C. J. Les-
lie, president of the Bailey bank.
All notes held by the Bailey
bank have been transferred to the
Bonham State Ban!; and are pay-
able at that institution, Leslie
said.
“We are staying open now for
the sole purpose of paying off all
our depositors,” Lesile said. "We
are not accepting any new de-
posits and ask that all persons
who have checking accounts with
us close their accounts as soon
ar- possible. We will remain open j
until all accounts have been drawn
out.”
Founded in 1909 as a branch
of the Continental State Bank of
Fort Worth, the First National
Bank of Bailey was one of the
strongest rural banks in the coun-
ty. When founded, the Fort Worth
bank owned the controlling stock,
hut a few of the stockholders re-
sided in the Bailey area. One of
these was the late Hugh Leslie,
who later became president of
the institution.
