Insurance On
All Deposits
Deposits in banks are now in-
for $10,000. instead of $5,-
000, it was announced by James T.
Noland, cashier of First National
this morning.
The insurance is carried by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpor
ation, and all costs are paid for by
the banks, and not the depositors.
The increase in coverage is made
possible largely by the excellent
safety record of banks since the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
tion was formed in 1933. Mr. No
land said that not a bank had fail
ed in this state in over 10 years
and none in the nation in the past
six.

Bids Called
On Repairs
To Reservoir
The workmen were packing their
loots away after finishing one Job
at the Wavnesvlllu Town reservoir
when the town government started
advertising for bids today to start

The job completed last weekend

ing of the outside of the 40-yenr-old
reservoir.
The bids being advertised arc for
the waterproofing of the inside and
bottom.
When the interior Job is finish
ed, the Job foreman said last week,
the reservoir will be good for 40
to 50 more years without any fur
iher ma lor overhauling necessary.
Town Manager said the Interior
Job woujd cost substantially more
than the exterior project, which
was done for $3,875.
But. he explained, there Is more
work involved.
The exterior work involved, fund
amentally, plugging the holes in
the outside walls,
The interior Job will necessitate

Recreation Group
To File Petitions
A petition for an election on an
$80,000 bond issue to finance a
Waynesvllle recreation center will
be submitted to the town's board
of aldermen Thursday afternoon.
Representatives of the Waynes
vllle Lions Club and Junior Cham.
her of Comerce will present the
petition, bearing the signatures of
more than 70O qualified voters, at
the regular meeting of the board.
Town Manager Grayden Fergu
son said the meeting probably
would open at about 4 p.m.
Committeemen of the two civic
organizations have been contacting
Waynesville citizens for a month,
seeking signatures for the petition
The petition asks, simply, that
th aldermen provide for a special
election to let the voters decide
whether they want the town to is
sue the bonds for that purpose.
The drawing up and circulation
of the petition followed nearly two
years of study and conferences by
Lions Club officials, while the
members of the Junior Chamber
were working out a parallel pro
ject. Both clubs decided to join forces
in their efforts to get a recreation
tenter established here.
Improvements Made
To Garage Next To
Present Headquarters
For Station
Wavnesville's fire and rxilir rlc
paitnient will have their own pri
vate headquarters In few weeks.
Contractor Ben Sloan's men art
working remodelling the town gar
age into a tun-sue lire aepanmeni.
Town Manacer Gravden Fergu
son said today the new fire house
will house both the town's trucks,
which now occupy a section of
police headquarters.
The space now occupied bv the
f lrt trucks will be rem ode lied and
cenverted Into a police court room
and office for the police Judge.
The shed that provides an exten
sion of the police headquarters to
the rear win be torn down to make
space for the new fire truck drive
way opening left by the rnzlna of
that structure will be sealed off.
Office equipment nd furnitura
will be installed when the heavy
work on the old fire truck space la
done.
The garage will get a new ceiling
reinforced with steel, and a door
will be made in Hie side of the
building to connect with the new
driveway circling to the rear of thq
police department.
This will give the fire trucks s
separate entrance off the street.
with the exit facing on Main Street.
Last Friday, workmen were busy
with some archaeological work,
digging up a relic of a bygone past.
That was the gasoline tank, bur
led under the floor of the garage,
a souvenir from the days when
service station and auto repair
shop did a thriving business in the
building more than 15 years ago.
The men worked gingerly with
pick and; snovel In the fumes of
mingled gasoline and stagnant wat
er that still sloshed In the burled
tank.
The little gasoline that remained
in the tank presented no problem,
however, beyond its odor.
Its years of mingling with stag
nant water had made it fireproof.
This is the second major remod
elling job which has marked the
face-lifting of the old building.
A few years ago, the front of the
building was remodelled.
The fire truck's new garage also
will have a new face. A huge electrically-operated
door that can be
raised and lowered in a matter of
seconds will be installed in the
front of the building,
Mr. Ferguson said the total co;t
of the work would run between
$4,000 and $5,000.

The ten-foot-high cross standing
