Some of you will probab ly recall that the Town of North j Wilkesboro was chartered in 1,891 j and the .same session of the Gen eral Assembly passed an act char 'ering the Bank of North Wilkes boro. The opening of the doors tor business was on March 2. 1892,. It was the early ta^k of this Bank to coax from hiding the accumulated savings of the people: to bring home and make available in this community the funds that had been temporarily placed elsewhere: to husband the resources of a great section that they migh* be made the means of enhancing and forwarding its material welfare. These ta,*ks were not small undertakings— but they were accomplished and well done. Their accomplishment will reflect everlasting credit up on tlie men who during those ®arly years directed the destinies of this Bank. On this the thresh old of our fif'ieth anniversary we paiii'B to recall the noble ef forts and incomparable achieve ments of President J. E. Finley.

Big,- solid, looking like new,- It is ready for additional service when needed. Lieutenant M. M. Duncan, of Chllhowle, Virginia, under whose supervlalon all tire salvaging and reclaiming operations at this post are executed, said yesterday that In view of the natlonad program to conserve all possible rubber ex tensive recapping of army vehicle tires could be expected from now on. Of 5,753 tires recently shelved at Fort Bragg as too worn for use, 2,194 have already been re capped by a local concern in a nearby town. The additional wear it is estimated, will be 80 per cent of the wear obtained from a new tire, while the recapping cost amounts to only 40 per cent of a new tire’s cost. At the present time recapped tires are recommended generally for rear wheels where the dan gers from blowouts are not so acute. Exhaustive tests are now being made to determine their effectiveness on front wheels as well. Over infla'ion. under inflation and misalignment are the three main causes of abnormally short lives for tiros. The Quar'ermas- ter Corps is studying every means to increase a tire’s wear and to make its personnel “tire consci ous.” In this connection, five soldiers from the Motor Main'enance Di-1 vision have recently attended a ' tire and rubber school at the Goodyear and Firestone factories in Akron, Ohio.

Other counties in the district to he worked by Miss Long are Caldwell, Alexander, Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany, Burke and Lincoln. There are a to'al of 150 cases in the district. What Mifis Long can do with the aid of Ping is hardly short of miraculous. Ping, a product of “Seeing Eye” near Morristown, N. J., is her constant guide and companion. The dog leads her through traffic, along the streets, into buildings or through 'he countryside. Already the dog has saved her life in three emergen cies. Miss Long is well qualified for her position. At the age of two years she lost her sight follow ing a'tacks of whooping cough and meningitis. She graduated from the state school for blind at Raleigh and received her de gree from Flora MacDonald Col lege at Red Springs. I,Ast year she took six months course in social service at the Dniversity of North Carolina. She is an expert stenographer, can do shorthand in Braille and can type from 85 to 100 words a minute. She can also handle a dictaphone. Charle.s McNeill, Welfare offi cer, said his department was for tunate in securing the services of Miss Long for one w?ek in each month and that blind in the county will greatly appreciate her help, especially the home teach ing.
