Lichliter Named Bank Receiver JOHNSTOWN. Appointment of L. G. Lichliter, of Jennerstown, who recently resigned as manager of the Johnstown District HOLC office, to be receiver for seven insolvent National banks in six towns in the Johnstown area, was announced by the office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Mr. Lichliter succeeds R. G. Holsing, of Johnstown. The banks which Mr. Lichliter will supervise as receiver are: First National, Portage; First National, Beaverdale; First National, Cairnbrook; First National, Davidsville; First National, Boswell; First National, Seward; Citizens' National, Seward. Mr. Lichliter is not a newcomer in banking circles, having been cashier of the Peoples' State Bank, Jennerstown, prior to joining the forces of the HOLC in August of last year, when he became the Pittsburgh district manager of that organization. A telephone in the home saves so much that instead of costing money it actually pays to have one! When the Johnstown HOLC District office began operation last March 16, Mr. Lichliter was transferred here as manager. Under Mr. Lichliter's direction the Johnstown district office became the leading one of the six in the State in percentage of loans disbursed on the basis of applications filed. When he tendered his resignation last week, it was accepted with great regret by Ewing Laporte, State HOLC manager, who lauded the accomplishments of Mr. Lichliter. Mr. Holsing, who has been connected with the office of the Comptroller for four years, stated that he has made no plans for the immediate future.
