STATE COMMISSION TAKES OVER BANK The Cassville Bank, established for more than a third of a century, was in the hands of the state banking commission last Friday. Frozen assets and unliquidatable papers caused the difficulties of the bank, which has been operating on a 15 per cent basis since the banking holiday of 1933. Capitol and surplus is listed at $40,000.00 while the deposits approximate $130,000.00. The closing of the bank created no panic among the depositors, and while a bank closing oftentimes causes a run on another bank in the community, the Badger State bank reports increased deposits, rather than withdrawals. —A baby daughter, Joan Mae, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Scott of North Andover, Saturday, June 1, Dr. F.
