Baptist Sunday School Revival Is Brought To Close The Sunday School Revival and Enlargement Campaign in which 24 hurches of the Tar River Assoc iaion participated was brought to a lose Sunday afternoon with an snthusiastic mass meeting held in ,he auditorium of the John Graham high school, Bear Swamp lending the largest delegation of iny single church.

Edward Allen, Moderator of the Tar River Association, several pastors and many| Sunday school superintendents! made" brief talks during which delightful compliments were paid the young men and women who taught the classes in the twenty-four local churches.

Banks Are Willing To Make Loans, Says W. A. Hunt Banks are perfectly' willing and anxious to make loans, W. A. Hunt, President of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Henderson, said this week in a discussion of the bankers part in business recovery. "There has been considerable talk in past months around questions such as 'Why don't the bankers step in and make funds available for business recovery?' - 'Why don't the bankers loosen up on credit and loan money freely?' he said. "Now the facts are," Mr. Hunt continued, "bankers are willing to loan money. The banking structure of the country today is stronger than at any time since the depression started. It is ample to finance full recovery as soon as confidence is restored. By that we mean confidence in business ? for confidence in the banks of the Nation is well established. "Naturally, bankers want to loan money?that is where profits come to banks. Any banks today have the ,funds to loan, but they must be I conservatively particular as to what jkind of loans are made. The money !a bank has to loan cannot be appropriated as can government funds ?it is not money that will be replaced by taxpayers?it belongs to the depositors! And every bank depositor has the right to expect his bank to make only soufJcl loans. "A sound loan is one which the borrower believes and the banker expects will be paid within a reasonable time?either paid in full at maturity or substantially reduced by regular periodic payments. The essence of a good loan lies in the borrower's ability and intention to repay the loan by a planned program and within a reasonable time. A commercial bank must have a turn-over of merchandise, with this difference?a merchant's turn-over affects his own business and his creditors, but a bank's turn-over affects the credit facilities of the entire community. Money loaned for capital purposes such as the purchase of real estate, securities, 1 uii? ~ 1 v* Awtr ttHf.Vl Y\C auiomuDiies, uim; muci; ...... ? plan of payment or reduction, slows turn-over and restricts credit Loans that are paid at maturity or regularly reduced enable the banker to "turn his stock" and make other loans to patrons, which in turr benefits the credit and progress ol the entire community. "The point we wish to bring home to the people of this community It that the bank credit facilities ir our territory are ample to handle local credit requirements, and banks are in a position to make loanssound loans?for legitimate business purposes." Mr. Ivey Watson of Enfield was t I visitor here this week. ^ arrot , FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1934 HALF HOUDAYiPj TO BE OBSERVED Stores To Be Closed Each Wednesday Afternoon During Summer REST FOR EMPLOYEES Warrenton stores will be closed each Wednesday afternoon during the months of June, July and August, allowing a half-holiday for employees, according to agreement made here this week.
