Emmet Bank Closes its Doors (Continued from page 1.) bank grew and at the time of Dailey s retirement it ■ counted more tnan a hall-million dollars in resources. "mere were good times, crasn es, depressions, Dana nonuays, near tore aas and gratifying mo ments during tnose years, Mr. uailey recalls. i'he Emmet bank weathered them all. in the era when lolks lost count of the bank failures, because they were so numerous, the Emmet State continued busi ness as usual. “The morning I received a telegraphed order to suspend op erations for the bank holiday, I was stunned. I thought it was a bad dream, because I knew we j were 100 percent liquid. 1 could n’t understand it. A few days later we were told to reopen with no restrictions," Mr. Dailey re members, "and that was a most gratifying moment. Of the banks j that were allowed to reopen, only j a few reopened without restric tions. “There were times when the j Emmet State’s resources were, less than 100-thousand-dollars. j There were times when we’d go! down to the bank in the morning and didn’t know what the com bined effect of demands of the guarantee fund and depositors might cause,” he recalls, “but we were always in a position to pay. "During my years in the banking business my first con cern always was the depositor and having his money avail- I able when and if he wanted it. We could always pay 100 cents on the dollar." he pridefully remembers. The bank was burianzed on 3 ddierent occasions, but never was it the scene of a stickup. Hugh J. Birmingham and Ho mer Mullen have been the active managing officers smce Mr. Dai ley’s withdrawal. Nebraska at one time had 1,100 state - chartered banks. In the i&jO's this number dwindled to less than 200 and Emmet contin ued to be one of the smallest communities in the state with a healthy bank. Disappearance of banks in the small communities, like lumber yards, clothing stores and news papers, has been an established trend during the past 25 or 30 years. The general rule is they are not profitable. Loans at the Emmet bank have soared up to 200-thousand-dol lars, but of late have been in the neighborhood of 30 - thousand dollars. The investment recently has been about 50-thousand-dollars. The birth, life and death of the Emmet State bank now belongs to those who will write the his tory of Holt county—and to the memories of Mr. Dailey, the Birmingham and Gallagher fam ilies and to hundreds of others for whom it was a banking ‘‘home.” And the familiar pink check blanks have become scratch pa per.

Coach M a r v Miller’s kids chalked ud 3 first quarter touch downs, his second stringers add ed a TD in the second quarter. Creighton never penetrated in side the O’Neill 40 — and that fairly well sums up the ball game. On the first scrimmage play of the evening. Halfback Don Calk mgs sprinted 70 yards to tally. Fullback Ed Tomlinson bucked from the 14 for the second O’Neill TD and Halfback Don Godel romped 30 yards for the third. Godel booted 1 extra point, ran another. It was Calkins, operating be hind a second string line, who registered O’Neill’s final tally. On Calkins’ 70-yard gallop, he enjo y e d excellent downfield blocks laid by Tomlinson and Go del. The Eagles go to Ainsworth Friday night. In the comparative score department, Rock county high holds a triumph over Ains worth, 14-13, and a 20-12 win over O’Neill. Cards Lose 19-17 Thriller in Rain The St. Mary’s academy Cardi nals almost tasted victory Friday night against St. Patrick’s, of Fremont, on the foreign grid. But 3 penalities on 3 separate scoring plays cost vital points. St. Pat’s won. 19-17. The O’Neill kids had a TD call ed back on a holding penalty, another on a not clear pass, an other because the backfield was in motion. On still another occa sion, Don Becker juggled the ball in the end zone, having caught a pass. He dropped it and a Fremonter pounced, giving SMA 2 points instead of 6. Rain fell throughout the game. Don Donohoe, diminutive SMA back, romped for both touch downs. SMA’s ground defenses were good: aerial defensive leaked too much.
