THE BANK STATEMENT (Norfolk Daily News) Put a bank statement in the hands of the average man and he can’t get much out of it. It is a sort ef Chin ese puzzle to him. He might as well read it upside down as right side up so far as getting any sense from it is concerned. The terms are unfamiliar to him and he doesn’t know how to check off one item with another so as to get at the real substance of the re port. He lays it down just as ignor ant as to the real condition of the bank as he was when he picked it up. There is no business in which the confidence of the community is a greater asset than the banking busi ness. The banks ought, therefore, to be interested in helping the public on which it depends to understand just what their statement means. There has just come to this office a statement of the O’Neill National Bank, S. J. Weewes, president, which is a model that other banks might well copy. In the printed folder, un der each item of the statement, there is a plain easily understood explana tion of what the terms and figures mean. Anyone who goes over the statement, whether he has any fam iliarity with the banking business or not, knows just what he is reading. This takes the mystery out of the bank statement, and when you take the mystery out of a thing you es tablish confidence in it. If other banks would follow this practice of interpreting their bank statements frankly to their patrons they would be educating the public and putting a solider foundation of confidence under the banking system.

The census was taken by an organization of three thousand volunteer workers, men and women. Tabulations of re ports from the 140 parishes in the 23 counties within the diocese was com pleted Wednesday. The census discloses that 21,203 Catholic families were enrolled in the census and that 56,312 individuals are over 16 years of age. For convenience the diocese was di vided for the census into six districts. The census figures for each district were: Omaha district, 46,968; Norfolk, 11,5*42; Hartington, 9,567; Columbus, 8,572; West Point, 8,421, and O’Neill, 5,380. The census shows that one-fifth of Omaha’s population is Catholic, as 11,360 families, including 44,631 in dividuals, were recorded in the 35 local parishes within the city limits. The federal census estimate of Oma ha’s population for July 1, 1928, was 222,800 residents. The total number of Catholics in the diocese outside of Omaha are 9,843 families and 46,219 individuals. The census was taken at the re quest of Bishop Joseph F. Rummel, who came to Omaha a year and a half ago from New York.

WOMANS CLUB NOTES The regular club meeting of the Literary department was held at the club room Wednesday afternoon. "Street Scene,” by Elmer L. Rice, was reviewed by Mrs. J. J. Harring ton in her inimitable manner and the discussion led by Mrs. F. J. Dishner, who impresed her hearers with the thought and study given her subject She reviewed it from a psychological and sociological viewpoint. This par ticular scene was laid in the poorer tenement districts of New York City where the flotsam and jetsam of European countries become amal gamated into American citizenry. Do these sordid surroundings create the depraved individuals pictured or will the person with the proper inherit ance surmount all obstacles as found in his lending character? The age-old problem—just something for us to think about.
