or credit union is valid.

one or more of whom are minors with the same effect upon its liability as if

such minors were of full age.

Commissioner and approved, in the case of public schools, by the board of

trustees of the school district in which the school is situated. The principal,

teacher or person authorized by the bank or credit union to make collections

from the school children must be the agent of the bank or credit union to make

collections from the school children, and the bank or credit union is liable to

the pupil for all deposits made with such principal, teacher or other

authorized person to the same extent as if the deposits were made directly with

the bank or credit union.

      2.  The acceptance of deposits in furtherance

of a school thrift or savings plan by an officer, employee or agent of a bank

      1.  If the rental due on a safe-deposit box

has not been paid for 90 days, the lessor may send a notice by registered or

certified mail to the last known address of the lessee stating that the

safe-deposit box will be opened and its contents stored at the expense of the

lessee unless payment of the rental is made within 30 days. If the rental is

not paid within 30 days after the mailing of the notice, the box may be opened
