Henderson, N. C
To Our Depositors and Friends:
There are several reasons for the excellent show
ing of this bank during 1937. Despite unfavorable
economic conditions generally, we have, nevertheless,
maintained strong deposits and a thoroughly sound
financial position. While this has called for courage,
faith, and careful management upon the part of offi
cers and directors, we beliieve that a large share of the
credit should go to our depositors. Their loyalty, co
operation, and unfailing friendship, we count among
>
our strongest resources. To all of these friends, and
<
to you, personally, we say "Thank You". We are
confident that there will be a gradual return of normal
prosperity during 1931, and we hope that you and your
friends may enjoy the best of all that the New Year
has to bring.
W. A. HUNT,
President.

so far In his recommendations
A centralized and unified govern

a reduction of the number of distinct
State i agencies from ninety-two to
fourteen and the abolition or diminu
tion of every board and commission.
A governor's cabinet of eleven ap
pointed members would succeed the
present Governor's Council and all

Education. Department of Health. De
partment of Highways and Public
Works, Department of Agriculture,
Department of Conservation and De
v elopement. Department of Labor.

administration, and alone responsible
for its operations.
The Brookings Institution would
abolish the office of Secretary ot
State and create a bureau of State
Records, make the State Treasurer
appointive by the Governor and trans
fer the Treasury to the proposed De
partment of Finance, abollah the State
Printing Commission, create a real
Department of Labor to replace the
Department of Labor and Printing,
create a Bureau of Personnel to takb
the place of the Salary and Wage
Commission, displace the Department
of Revenue with a Department of
Finance, abolish the State Board ot
Assessments and State Board ot
Equalization and create a new Board
of Equalization to fix valuations on
property, have solicitors ot the rari
ous judicial districts appointed and
serve under directions of the Attor
ney General appointed by the Gover
nor, create a State Board of Educa
tion composed of seven members se
lected by the Governor for seven
year overlapping terms and vest -the
appointment of a Commissioner of
Education In this board, abolish the
State Board of Health and set up a
- Health Advisory Council, establish a
Department of Highways and Public
Works to take the place of the pres
ent State Highway Commission, abol
