First National Ban Of Feder System Formed In 1914 After Exhaustive Study Of World's Banking Systems GOVERNING BOARD IN WASHINGTON Federal Reserve Notes Constitute 91 Percent Of Country's Currency In opening for business as a member of the Federal Reserve System, the First National Bank of Whiteville, North Carolina, believes that it has taken a progressive step in the field of banking. By membership in the System, it has identified itself with a nation-wide and, in effect, cooperative system repi esenting slightly more than 87 percent ot the commercial banking resources of our country. It is thus enabled to provide its customers the facilities and resulting benefits of an integrated and cohesive banking system by being a part of that System.

The System. as now constituted, is comprised of the member banks, the twelve Fedcial Reserve Banks and the Board of Governors. Two other bodies, the Federal Open Market Committee and the Fedeial Advisory Council, complete the structure of the System. Member banks include all national banks and such state banks and tiust companies which apply for membership and meet certain prescribed requirements. Stock of the Federal Reserve Banks is owned by the member banks and is subscribed for on the basis of a percentage of the memt^r bank's own capital and surplus. Each Federal Reserve Bank is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of nine persons, six of whom are elected by the member banks and three appointed by the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors is located in Washington, D. C., and is composed of seven members appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Responsibilities of the Boaul of Governors lie in the field of money and banking. Their objective, broadly speaking, is to maintain sound banking conditions and an adequate supply of credit at reasonable cost for use in commerce, industiy and agriculture. The Board supervises and coordinates the operation of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks. Federal Reserve notes constitute 91 percent of the currency of the country. Before the System was organized the country was troubled with recurring currency panics which paralyzed the business community and especially communities dependent upon the orderly mar keting of agricultural products such as tobacco. The flexible currency system established by the Federal Reserve Banks Iras solved this particular problem. Since the twelve Federal Reserve Bartks opened on November 16, 1914, the System has steadily grown. It has played an important part in World War I and World War II and in promoting sound banking practices. As Fiscal Agents for the Treasury the Reserve Banks have provided the essential machinery for the financing of both World Wars. Each Federal Reserve Bank serves a geographical area of our country and in a number of instances there are one or more branch offices.

It also has branches in Baltimore, Md.,; I and Charlotte, N. C. However, the First National Bank of White- 1 ville deals directly with the Head Office in Richmond. Because of being a member bank, the First National Bank of Whiteville has the privilege of dij rectly and speedily collecting checks on all member and par remitting banks in the United ) States through the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, its branch offices, and the other eleven reserve banks and their twenty-two branch offices. This effects a rapid presentation of checks for payment and thus renders a real service to the customers of the First National Bank i of Whiteville. The par collection system of the Federal Reserve Banks represents approximately 84 percent of the total number of j commercial banks in the nation. ! 1 A member bank may discount I paper and borrow directly from its Federal Reserve Bank which 1 is a valuable privilege, particular: ly in times of economic disturbance or emergency.

Accident Occurred Monday Night Near Shallotte; Suffers Compound Fracture Of Right Arm Roscoe Miles, 31, son of Sedo Miles of Whiteville, today was in a satisfactory condition in James Walker Memorial hospital, where he was admitted after an automobile accident on U. S. Highway 17, two miles south of Shallotte, about 11 o'clock Monday night. State highway patrolmen said Miles suffered a compound fracture of the light arm. He was brought to the local hospital by E. Frost, Naval Air station, Memphis, Tenn., who reportedly found the injured man after an unidentified car had forced the Miles auto off the highway. Officers said Miles told them the car which crowded him off the load did not stop. Investigation was being continued today. Sometime during the accident, Miles reportedly lost his billfold which contained between $75 and $80. charge. When Admiral Halsey was in command it was the Thud Fleet. When Admiral Spiuancc was in command it was the Fifth Fleet. Rogers explained the "leapfiog" tactics of the Navy that for many jea.s puzzeled the Nips and is understood by few Americans. Using Pearl Harbor as a planning base, Spiuance and Halsey alternated in pre-planned engagements?one taking the fleet, with the exception of a small leserve and damaged ships, and engaging the enemy while the other pulled into Pearl Harbor and doped out the next objective. Thus,, they leap-trogged their way thiniip-h the Pacitie. oftentimes daiing the Japs to come out and fight. Of the two. Rogers considers Halsey the more aggressive admil al. As a leader, he respected the judgment of his officers and men, was not a stickler about minor matters but demanded excellence in woik. He loved a good fight and was used more often in carrying cut initial and hit-and-tun strikes. Rogers entered the Navy June 10, 1041!, and was commissioned October 26. 1944 He received special training at Harvard and left the states In April of this year. He joined Halsey's staff in May.

He was aboard the Halsey flagship when the Third Fleet instituted the fiist bomburdment of the Japanese homeland. That was the night they slipped in under the cover of darkness and shelled Hakodate, industrial center of Hokido. Previous to that, they had supported the army off the southern tip of Okinawa. Other engagements followed, among which they were frequently called upon for shore sweeps to aid naval pluncs in the striking cf shore installations on Japan's home islands. They had advance information on the atomic bomb and were miles at sea when it was dropped. To participate in the surrender terms, Ensign Rogers said the U. S. S. Missouri left Lcytc and 64 days later eased into Sagamai Wan, an inlet just down from Tokyo Bay. That night, according to Rogers, was a jittery night with the Missouri all lighted up and anchored off what had been (and the Americans were not so NEW YEAR'S bells are ringing?ringing out the old, ringing in the new.

The Dakota j boasted eight shore bombardments and at one sea engagement down-! ed 28 Jap planes in 90'minutes, j On the letuin trip, the Dakota picked up combat veterans at Okinawa and refueled at Pearl j Harbor. Since Halsey has retired, Rogers has become a member of the staff of his successor, Admiral Kingman. He will report aboard i the U. S. S.

Price Decline Seen For Eggs j Increase In Potential Number Of Layers And With- ( drawal Of Meats From Ration Lists Will Influi ence Market I RALEIGH?Although farmers are now receiving ceiling prices for eggs and handlers are not able to purchase enough to meet j the demands of the trade, a surplus in eggs and a resulting decline in pi ices may be expected within the next four to six weeks, ; according to poultry and egg marketing specialists with the State Department of Agriculture. The Government purchased , thousands of cases of eggs in i North Caiolina during January, \ February, and March of 1943 and 11944. However, the shortage of ! meat plus increased consumer purchasing power absorbed the large supply this year, and the | Government bought only around 1400 cases, according to the poul' try experts in the department. With an increase in the poten-' ' tial number of layers this season ^ and the withdrawal of meats from ration list, it is thought that the surplus may be keenly ! felt this time. I Randal B. Etheridge, chief of the Market Division, said that the department will assist in every way possible in moving the surplus. I Moantinirt flm If 5! Hono ft _ WEDNESDA 20,000,000 cases. In its current!; release on the poultry and egg! ( situation, the Bureau of Agricul-' | turaj JEcppojnicp...declares.....thatj | while civilian demands for eggs is expected to remain "fairly | strong," it will be weaker next 1 spring than during the first half I of 1945. Military demand for eggs will be reduced, but this will not result in a serious decrease in < demand, since demobolized per-1 sonnel will be added to the civilian population. However, BAE finds that the per capita disappearance of eggs in the armed forces has run j about 33 per cent higher than civilian consumption per person. > Tire Rationing To End Jan. lsti r Price Control To Continue, 1 However, OPA Administrator Says WASHINGTON.
