Here's a brand new service from The Northwestern Bank. It's
called Cash Reserve and works in combination with your North
western checking account and your Northwestern Master Charge
card.
With Cash Reserve you're covered in all emergencies. You just
write a check for an instant loan . . . additional buying power at
. stores that don't accept credit cards . . . and protection against
being overdrawn on your checking account. In other words, you
can now use a Northwestern checking account for anything you'd
like to write a check for— tuition, vacations, taxes, bargains,
insurance up to the credit limit of your Northwestern Master
Charge account. What’s more, you use regular Northwestern
checks. There are no special ones to buy.
There’s no charge for opening a Cash Reserve account, and
there’s no charge when you're not using it. Any check in excess of
your checking account balance is charged to your Master Charge

result of entering Burnsville in
the Community Development
competition by the Burnsville
Men's Club.
The judges met with a com
mittee of Men's Club members
in the boardroom of The North
western Bank. More than a do
zen recent developments in
Burnsville and the county were
~ reviewed, including the town*
water project, the junk car and
trash removal programs, the
achievement of the Governor's
Award, the hospital develop -
ment program, rest home im
provements, and the success
this year of the Playhouse, Pain
ting in the Mountains and Music
in the Mountains.
In previous years the tradi
tional development competi -
tion has been confined to the
smaller rural communities, and
usually a half dozen Yancey
County rural community clubs
have entered. This year, chan
ges in the rules permitted par
ticipation of towns the size of
Burnsville. The Men's Club,
recognizing that impressive de
velopments have been taking
place in the town, believed the
these might qualify the town
for an award.

members who met with the
judges were Mack B. Ray,Car
lisle Bledsoe, Johnny McLa in ,
Pat Gttyer, John Martin and Bob
Helmle. As part of the presen
tation, Luanne Banks,Miss May
