Early Retirement
NationsBank announces that
Horace A. Smith, Vice Presi
dent and head of the Commer
cial Loans in the Tryon office

tive of NationsBank expressed
his regret that Smith made the
decision to retire early. Claud
said that the bank made a num
ber of efforts to encourage
Smith to reconsider his deci
sion, but he said that after 37
years, he thought the time had
come for a change. Horace
retires today with the bank's
deep appreciation for a job well
done and best wishes for a long
and healthy retirement.
While with NationsBank and
its predecessors. Smith served

Super Saturday 92's
Slate Of Theatrical
Companies Outlined
Eight children's theatrical
companies will perform at
Super Saturday March 21.
Each is well worth seeing, but
how do parents choose which
shows are best for their chil
dren? Perhaps the following
synopsis of each performance
will help families decide which
shows are right for them.
The shows this year are:
* CHILD'S PLAY acts out
short stories adapted from
stories and poems written by
children. These tales presented
by Child's Play Touring Theatre
of Chicago, Ill., include rap,
monsters, and common situa
tions for pre-schoolers to 6th
graders. Each show lasts 45
minutes.
* DON'T COUNT YOUR
CHICKENS UNTIL THEY
CRY WOLF is a musical
review that turns Aesop's Fables
upside down and brings them
into the present. Toe-tapping
tunes teach age-old morals as
kindergartners on up join the
action and sing along with the
Tortoise from the storyline of
"The Tortoise and the Hare".
This 50-minute show is pre
sented by the Tarradiddle
Players from Charlotte, who
brought the wonderful Char
lottes Web to Super Saturday
last year. 7
* THE GOLDEN GOOSE is
a fun show with audience par-
ticipation for preschoolers and
