FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
 

Cardinal Bancshares, Inc., Lexington, Kentucky; Application to 
Engage in Nonbanking Activities

    Cardinal Bancshares, Inc., Lexington, Kentucky (Applicant), has 
applied pursuant to section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 
U.S.C. 1843(c)(8)) (BHC Act) and section 225.23(a)(3) of the Board's 
Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.23(a)(3)) to engage through its indirect 
subsidiary, Mutual Service Corporation, Somerset, Kentucky (Company), 
in securities brokerage activities pursuant to section 225.25(b)(15) of 
Regulation Y, and to act as riskless principal in buying and selling in 
secondary market trading all types of securities on the order of 
investors. Applicant proposes that Company enter into an arrangement 
with Compulife Investor Services, Inc., Richmond, Virginia (Compulife), 
whereby joint employees of Company and Compulife will conduct the 
proposed activities at branches of Applicant's thrift subsidiary, 
Mutual Federal Savings Bank, Somerset, Kentucky. These activities will 
be conducted throughout the United States.
    Section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act provides that a bank holding company 
may, with Board approval, engage in any activity ``which the Board, 
after due notice and opportunity for hearing, has determined (by order 
or regulation) to be so closely related to banking or managing or 
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.'' The Board 
previously has approved the proposed riskless principal activities, and 
Applicant has stated that it will conduct these activities using the 
same methods and procedures and subject to the prudential limitations 
established by the Board in its previous orders. See J.P. Morgan & 
Company Incorporated, 76 Federal Reserve Bulletin 26 (1990); and 
Bankers Trust New York Corporation, 75 Federal Reserve Bulletin 829 
(1989).
    Any comments or requests for hearing should be submitted in writing 
and received by William W. Wiles, Secretary, Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551, not later than March 18, 
1994. Any request for a hearing on this application must, as required 
by section 262.3(e) of the Board's Rules of Procedure (12 CFR 
262.3(e)), be accompanied by a statement of the reasons why a written 
presentation would not suffice in lieu of a hearing, identifying 
specifically any questions of fact that are in dispute, summarizing the 
evidence that would be presented at a hearing, and indicating how the 
party commenting would be aggrieved by approval of the proposal. This 
application may be inspected at the offices of the Board of Governors 
or the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, February 16, 
1994.
Jennifer J. Johnson,
Associate Secretary of the Board.
