CITY BANK AT HASTINGS WILL GET INSURANCE CWA Worker Critically Hurt In Gravel Pit Has Chance For Recovery. Hastings, Jan. 3.—The Hastings City bank has received word from Washington authorities that the application for the guaranty deposit insurance has been granted, as the bank satisfactorily passed the rigid examination required. M. L. Cook is president and M. A. Lambie, cashier. The Delton State bank at Delton, 14 miles southwest of Hastings, has also been notified of the acceptance of their application for this insurance. The latter bank was one of the first three to open after the bank moratorium in February, 1932. F. O. Hughes is cashier. Stephen Bird, who was critically injured while working on a CWA project in a gravel pit near Middleville, is slowly improving, and it is thought he has a fighting chance. Mr. Bird was caught in a slide in the pit near the Hall orchard west of Freeport, suffering a broken arm and leg, the arm having been forced up into his neck. Thirty men worked with two five-ton trucks to extricate him from the twelve tons of frozen earth that fell. The injured man was brought to Pennock hospital for care. Two babies were born in Hastings on New Year's Day at Pennock hospital. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Keet Tobias, Hastings, Route 6, at 5:10 a. m., and the second was a son born to Mr. and Mrs. Clark Payne, 701 North Michigan avenue, exactly 12 hours later at 5:10 p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Steinke, 623 West Grand street, are the parents of a boy born at Pennock hospital Dec. 28. He has been named David Gerald. Mrs. L. V. Bessmer, who was badly injured by a fall a few weeks ago, has been taken to Blodgett hospital in Grand Rapids for treatment. Harold S. Chambers, of Grand Rapids, secretary of the Council of Churches and Sunday Schools, was the speaker at the Barry County Ministerial association held here Tuesday afternoon. The Barry county district Boy Scout annual meeting will be held Jan. 10 in the High school gym, preceded by a pot-luck supper at 6:30 o'clock. All Scouts, Cubs, parents and those interested are invited. Robert Cook is general chairman; Mrs. Vern Wininger has charge of the dinner and other members of the committee are L. E. Barnett, Dr. M. R. Kinde, Dr. B. A. Perry, T. S. K. Reid and Mrs. J. M. Townsend. Each troop will be seated by itself. The I. O. O. F. cup for the highest percentage of representation is to be awarded. Troop 72 won it last year. Following the dinner the program is to be held in the auditorium, where a pageant, "Mightier Than the Sword," will be presented by the Scouts under the direction of L. E. Barnett. Seven Scouts of the county will participate with the following cast: Prologuist, Vernon Wininger, Troop 72; Lord Baden Powell, Chief Scout of World, Albert Becker; M. Raymond De Faire, president of France, Lyle Kurr, 75; Secretary to the President, Norval Stamm, 75; Frank D.
