THURSDAY, NOV. IS, 1942 THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN nil PAGE THREE Tarheel Banker Features The Bank Of Franklin Article Carries Praise For? Henry W. Cabe In November Issue Cashier We are glad to reprint an article which gives "honor to whom honor is due", appearing in the Novem ber issue of The Tarheel Banker, published by the North Carolina Banking Association and devoted to the state's progress as well as to its banking interests. We are in debted to the editor of the maga . zine for calling our attention to tfie deserved recognition accorded the cashier of the BaBnk of Franklin. The Resourceful Banker" This is a story of resourceful ness and determination. For gene rations the maxim of all true actors has been, "The show must go on," and in the face of seemingly in surmountable difficulties the great of the stage have lived up to that measure of devotion. This is the story of a bank and a banker who proved that devotion to duty is an attribute of the profession of bank ing also. Just recently the following ap peared in the editorial columns of the 'Press, the very excellent news paper published in Franklin, N. C. The Raink Know Their Job '"The banker,' writes Albert W. Atwood, "lias a way of going along with new developments, of meeting new situations, no matter how many they are or how fast they come." High Treasury officials have pointed put that the banks are doing their war job with quite and complete efficiency. In every field the banking sys tem is expanding its facilities to meet the enormous demand im posed upon it, as an ally of tthe government awl aih aid to the pub lic it adapting- their business to war conditions, j "Moriey, 'itself,, an instrument of war and, a .lii .bee,n aptly commented, 'luckriy we have no financial bottleneck.' For this, the banks of the country deserve much of the credit." The editor of the Press saw something happen in Franklin two years ago which demonstrated the ability of bankers to meet "new situations, no matter how they are or how fast they come." This is the story of what happened. November 10, 1940, fell on Sun day, and since Monday the 11th, being Armistice Day would be a holiday, Henry Cabe, the popular and able cashier of the Bank of Franklin, looked forward to enjoy ing some well earned rest., Now Henry pays close attention to the job at hand whatever it may be arxl that Sunday evening his inter est was centered in the enjoyment of an extra portion of that prec ious gift of clear conscience peace and quiet rest. Even when the insistent clamor oit; the fire alarm aroused him, he saw no rea son for making any change in his plans since fighting fires is not ordinarily a part of his duties. But this alarm was destined to change all of his plans. Ire a few moments the 'phone rang and there is something about the jangling of a telephone bell on a quiet Sun day evening, especially when at the same time the screaming call of the fire alarm is coming across the night air, that sends a chill racing up and down one's spine. An excited voice at the other end of the wire said, "Henry, come down, quick,' the bank is on fire!" Well Henry came down quick, on that you can bet your bottom dollar! The stories vary but Henry insists that he did put on his shoes that night and that reports to the contrary are circulated by malicious rumor-mongers without any foundation of fact. One fact, however, cannot be de niedthe firemen fought long and hard, aided and abetted by Mr. Cabe, but when the morning light broke over the mouretain peaks to the east all that remained of the Bank of Franklin were smoking ruins. Did I say "all"? Well, that is not true for something vital and real remained a resourceful and determined Cashier, are able and loyal staff, and a resolve that the bank would re-open on time on the day following Armistice Day That "holiday" of November 11, 1940, 'and the day following were the busiest days the officers, directors, and employees of the Barek of Franklin ever spent. . . . Now Franklin is a busy town, the tradjng center for the mountain country for miles around, and there is little or no vacant business prop erty. Not long prior to the fire which destroyed the bank building a new theatre had been built in Franklin. On either side of the eretrance there had been construct ed small quarters designed for rent to retail shops. One of these was vacant and Cabe immediately leased this space and began work with the idea of opening the bank there the next day if possible. The dimensions of the quarters obtained were about 12 feet by 25 feet I The Bank of Franklin has deposits around a half million dol lars and is a very busy place. . . . Believe it or not at 9 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, No vember 13, the Bank of Frankfo IL ,H.. m Bp!! fl HHP jI i EvVybody EvVy Pay Day 6,000,000 Women Enrolled in War Savings Payroll Plan. This Is My Fight Too' HENRY W. CABE Whose ability as "a resourceful banker" is recognized by The Tarheel Banker was again open for business. The community was without its bank for only one business day, business was not interrupted and for fifteen months Henry Cabe and his asso ciates carried on their bank which was small only in the phy sical dimensions of its temporary quarters. Work was started shortly on a new barak building and early in this year they moved in. It's a most attractive place and the whole town is justly proud of it no one more so than Henry Cabe. But almost a note of regret crept into Cabe's voice as he showed us Over where they had "lived" for fifteen months. The little place liad begun to be "cozy" rather than "cramped." But in their new quarters they are now equipped to handle their rapidly increasing business and to continue to meet "new situations, no matter how many they are or how fast they come." State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Is there any substitute for whole milk in a calf's ration? A. The whole milk in a calf's ration can be largely replaced with dry calf meal and good roughage, says John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist of N. C. State college. He states that calf meal is not as digestible as milk, but a satisfac tory dairy calf care be grown with it. A calf fed on calf meal or pellets and a limited amount of whole milk will not make the daily gains, or look as sleek for the first six months as one gives more milk, but it will later make up for this shortage. Q. How can liquid fertilizer be made for use on vegetable plants A. For setting plants with liquid fertilizer, H. R. Niswoncger, exten sion horticulturist of N. C. State WASHINGTON, D. C Women At War Week, opening Nov. 22, during which women will seek to sell the greatest single week's volume of Wat Bonds and Stamps will serve to put the spotlight on the mighty contribu tion women generally are making toward financing the war. . Six million women are on War Savings payroll plans. Their monthly deductions total $70,000, uw. The customers of 300,000 newspa per boys who have sold more than $50,000,000 in War Bonds and Stamps are mostly women. Volunteer saleswomen run nearly all the Bond booths in theatres from Maine to California. They also are sparking the War Bond sales in re tail stores. Ralph G. Engelsman, Associate Field Director of the payroll savings section of the War Savings Staff, readily admits that without the sup port of women the phenomenal rec ord of payroll savings enrollments would not have been achieved. Pay roll savings plans are now in opera tion in 148,000 businesses and fac tories. Employees of twenty-five thousand of these firms are convert ing at least 10 percent of gross pay rolls into War Bonds every payday. Associate Field Director Engels man says that women have contrib uted directly and indirectly toward this record. When a man devoted 10 or more percent of his pay envelope to War bonds, the woman at home has had a powerful voice in the de cision. Her planning, her economies and her cheerfulness play their part in the success of payroll savings. The Treasury Department is count ing upon this woman influence in its current campaign to "top that 10 percent by New Year's." By the first of the year the Treasury hopes to enroll at least 3,000,000 women worker in a payroll savings plan by using dumplings or serving it as a shoTtcake between rounds of biscuits or on a platter with a border of mashed potatoes or fluf fed rice. Ground beef seasoned and boil ed an toast catches, every drop of the flavorful juices, making a good dish. A rich meat and vegetable soup is almost a meal in itself.

The better grades of meat are, in many cases, going to our armed forces, and that is as it should be. But tough meat is a good starter for stews. Stews go well im coid weather. Even the toughest and cheapest meat is good for a stew. When the amount of meat is limited, be more liberal with the vegetables. For a good stew, brown the meat in a little fat before you add water.
