Randolph County’s Building And Loan Offers New Series Popular Demand From Those Who Would Build Homes Makes This Necessary The Randolph County Building and Loan Association will open a new series on October 1st, for those who wish to take advantage of taking new shares. It is not the custom of the Association to open the bus iness for shares except in the spring, but this is done at this time in order to accomodate many people who are building new homes and who have not already secured shares. According to Lee M. Kearns, sec retary and treasurer of the Associa tion, the past year has been a most successful one and it has been poss ible to make loans all during the year. The mortgage loans now in force amount to $329,964.00 with stock loans amounting to $7,634.00 This is the twenty-third series of the Randolph County Building and Loan and it looks as if it will be well subscribed for. Not since 1929 has it been deemed necessary to open the sec "'-sn© wwe oi this department among the colored people. A colored woman, Effie Caddell has been invaluable among the work of her own class and sever al others have also joined forces to put over their part of the program with most satisfying results. Work To Continue People in Randolph who realize what Miss Hammond has actually ac complished are delighted with her achievements and feel that this is a very definitely constructive piece of work for the county. Miss Hammond has already begun teaching in one of the county schools, but because the supply of vegetables and fruits is still abundant in this section, Miss Hammond is directing canning and drying each Saturday at the local welfare office. It will be impossible to get out into any of the homes of the county for this work, but it will be a great help for it to con tinue on Saturdays. Miss Hammond estimates that there will be at least 1,000 more cans filled during tho season. Pain is essential. It teaches men to take care of themselves.
