People's Bank to Enlarge
Present Quarters, Rumor

It is understood, however, that the
increased business cannot b*e taken
care of under the present circum

tht* quarters is necessary. Just what
the plans under way are could not be
learned, but, according to rumor, the
room formerly occupied by Charles

W. E. jVbercrombie Was
a Great Charity Worker
The loss of W. E. Abercromble will
be keenly felt in welfare and char
itable circles of the borough. This
man during the time he lived in the
borough took a very active part in
the welfare of the borough's resi
dents, especially those who were in
need of charity. Many of his noble
deeds were not noticed by the ma
jority of the residents, as they w<ere
not given wide circulation.
Only those residents who are close
ly connected with charity and wel-'
fare work could appreciate the won
derful work ot Mr. Abercx'ombie. His
untiring efforts to always help .some
one who needed charity won the ad
nrvration of those who knew him. His
efforts to see that the poorer people
in Steelton were supplied with coal
during the winter to keep warm was
only one of the many things he did
during the cold weather to alleviate
suffering among the poorer class. He
worked hard for the furtherance of
Red Cross and War work in the bor
ough since this country's entrance in
the war.
Funeral services for Mr. Abercrom
bie, who died Sunday morning, will
bo held to-morrow afternoon.
