IGTON Dec 12 The RWKEY union, a new Marshall college building, is in the last stages of completion one month after its formal dedication by Governor Kump. A white paint coat covers its exterior as interior finishing proceeds.
Piled to the building in Colonial style, walkways link the front entrance to other campus structures. President Morris F. Shawkey's plan for Mare Shall College's Union aims to provide a ballroom for social life and a lounge for study between classes. The building will also house the college book store a barber shop and a fountain. Also noted is the start of an aluminum factory in Wolverhampton England employing several hundred workers.
A collage of stage and screen notes cites Walter Winchell, Constance Curomings, Paul Kelly, Blonsom Seeley, Ruas Colombo, Gregory Retell, Texas Guinan, Disney’s Three Little Pigs, May Robson, Warren William, Guy Kibbee, Glenda Farrell, Lilly Turner with Chasterton, Gennet Brent, Jack Burke’s Globe Trotters revue, The Right to Romance, Ann Harding, Robert Young, Asher, Sara Maritza, Aesop’s fables, MGM’s The Virginian Lady Ritter and ex crook tale amid blackmail stakes.
A House debate over a proposal to investigate the liquidation of the Union Bank and Trust company in Huntington lasted about an hour before the issue was postponed to another day.
Delegates Davis and Norton disagreed on creating a five member special inquiry panel. Beacom urged probing the liquidation progress after three years, while Norton opposed, warning an inquiry could delay negotiations for an RFC loan tied to bank assets. Norton, the liquidation attorney for months, called an inquiry now harmful.
The article notes claims of grave injustice to bank depositors as an appraisal of assets targets a 200000 RFC loan. It also mentions new Scottish law banning milk boys of school age from work, Mexico imposing a production tax on gold, and Preston pigsties to be heated by electricity this winter.
City Building Inspector George Hendricks issued a building permit yesterday to WOBU Inc for construction work at a local site. The action confirms approval of planned modifications and complies with municipal codes.
