FIRST NATIONAL BANK OFFERED POSTOFFICE Receiver Asks Depositors, Postal Patrons, Sign Petition. Depositors of the First National bank and patrons of the postoffice are petitioning Postmaster Walter Kensler and architect at Washington, in support proposal to convert the banking building on Main street temporary postoffice during the course of work on the present government building. Announcement was made Monday by Kenneth Brownell, bank receiver, with plea to depositors and patrons to visit the First National Monday night and Tuesday and add their names to the list. Charles Miller, receiver's assistant, already obtained several dozen signatures. Mr. Brownell said that the the bank office would distribute the rental among the 600 depositors indirectly, either hastening possible dividends added income to the receivership. The bank's doors were to be kept open during the evening Monday for those who could not come there in daytime. Decision on temporary postoffice will be made soon, Mr. Brownell has been informed, and the (Continued on Page Seven)

This was counteracted again when the favorable merchants said that the adoption of daylight savings by Vincennes would be given wide publicity and that residents outside of the city would know of the new hours, that Vincennes stores and banks would be opened an hour earlier. One merchant said: "Heretofore we merchants have always headed off daylight savings. I think it is time to give it a chance. It is a progressive step. I think we should try it. We can always go back if it doesn't work." The merchants were extremely interested in the poll being conducted by the Sun-Commercial and were impressed when told that the ballots were overwhelmingly in favor of daylight savings. Tuesday morning the count showed only 32 opposed to daylight savings with several hundred in favor of it. Mayor Joseph W. Kimmell has indicated he would favor the adoption of daylight savings if a sufficient sentiment in favor of it was shown. NEW SUITS Superior court: K. V.

$22,000.00 Going Begging, Bank Receiver Says Believe it or not, approximately 1,000 persons in Vincennes have something like $12,000 coming to them and they have made no effort to get it. Charles Miller, associated with the receiver for the First National bank revealed Friday that the bank has $22,000 of unproven claims, and that the treasury department at Washington had instructed him to endeavor to get the creditors to come in and prove their claims. Miller is sending out 1,000 post cards urging these creditors to come into the bank and bring evidence that they are entitled to their money. Since dividends totalling 58 percent have already been paid out, approximately $12,000 of the $22,000 will be immediately available.
