DEPOSIT INS! \m
IS COAXING HOARDED
MONEY INTO BANKS
Local Institution** Deposits Are
Greatest Since Opening
Two Years Ago
Money which has heretofore beer,
deposited in postal savings accounts
or hidden in raatercsses, buried in
tin cans, stored in safety deposit
boxes or otherwise hoarded, is
gradually being brought into the
open where it can be put to work, M.
B. McDaniel, cashier of the Transyl
vania Trust company said .vlonday,
in commenting upon the influence
of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation through winch all bank
deposits up to $2,500 are insured.
Mr. McDaniel said the deposits of
the Transylvania Trust Co., are at
their peak, with indications that
they will continue to increase grad
ually as provisions of the national
banking act under which deposits
are insured, become more generally
known and appreciated. The bank
ing act became effective Jan. 1 since
which time it has been estimated
that 'Jo per cent of the bank deposits
in the United States are insured. All
national banks and all other banks
qualifying under the provisions of
the national act are members of the
federal corporation until July 1,
1934, when it is expected the in
surance and other features will be
made permanent.
Mr. McDaniel said the public is
not yet fully informed on the fun
damental features of bank deposit
insurance, and that when these be
come understood no person will
hesitate about entrusting his money
to member banks. Asked to set out
briefly just what the Federal De
posit Insurance Corporation is and
how it operates with reference to
member banks, the bank officer
submitted a list of five questions
and answers as follows:
Q_By whom are bank deposits
now insured?
A.—The federal ueposn insur
ance Corporation.
Q. —What is the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation’
A.—A corporation orgamseo- at
the request of President Roosevelt
bv special act of congress during
1935.
Q.—From what source 13 the
capital stock of the Federal De
posit Insurance derived?
A.—One hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars ($150,000,000) has-been
subscribed by the United states
Treasury; each of the 12 Federal
Reserve banks is required to sub
scribe to stock in an amount equal
to one-half of its surplus; each
individual bank having its deposits
insured is required to subscribe to
stock amounting to one-half of one
per cent of the deposits insured.
Q_What deposits in a member
bank are insured.
A.—All accounts, both checking
and savings, from one dollar to twen
ty-five hundred dollars ($25,000)
arc insured in full.
q.—What arrangement does a de
positor make with the bank in order
to have his deposits insured?

GAME REFUGE MAY
BE MADE IN COUNTY
Dunn’s Rock People Art Tfy*
injf To Get Farmers To
Sign Agreement
" ___ i
Movement is being started in the
uppe1* Dunn’s Rock section for es
tablishment of a game reservo on
which no kind of hunting will be al
lowed for a period of at least three
! years. i
Several land owners have already
agreed to the proposition and formal
agreement is expected to be signed
up within a few days. Under the1
tentative plan, a large area, reach
ing from near Wilson’s Bridge on1
the Greenville highway, by way of:
I Cohnesstee Cove Camp and at least
up to the Michad farm wil! be in
cluded in the boundary, with pos
sibility that adjoining landowners of
the original tentative boundary will
also come in on the proposition.
Promoters of the plan point out
that with close supervision of
large boundary, and no hunting al
; lowed during the three year period,
propagation of game, especiallyj
birds, will be to such extent that,
hunting fees will be readily paid by j
sportsmen if this plan is adopted, or j
there will be an abundance of game,
if owners themselves care to hunt.
Rules and regulations have not;
been drawn up as yet, landowners
and residents now being contacted,
on the general idea. _
FAIR GROUNDS Will
BE BUILT AT SELICA
Part of County Home Property
To Be Utilised—la Cen
tral To All Sections
Plans are now going forward for
establishing a public county fair
ground and community center at
the County Home farm near Selica.
The board of county commissioners
and Professor Julian A. Glazener
went over the proposition in a meet
ing last week, and later visited the
County Home property where site
for the buildings und ground was
decided upen.
Around four acres between the
caretaker’s home and the public,
highway will be used as fair
grounds, the plot being just north
of the home, but in no way obstruct
ing view from the home to the road.
The proposition is being submitted
to the Civil Works Administration
for approval, it being consensus of
opinion that the state administra-i
tive office will readily agree to thoj
work being done by the CWA.
A roadway can easily be built
around the entire plot, giving easy
access and exit with plenty of park
ing space and room for pens and;
display rooms.
The property lies practically at
the center of the county, which add?
to its value as a county fair ground.

of a car load of new Chevrolet?,
first to be seen here since change of
models. Both cars and trucks are on
display at the McCrary place on
North Caldwell street.
The Chevrolet Master Six for 1934
is presented on a larger wheel-base
of 112 inches, and with an engine de
livering 80 horse power. As with
other General Motors cars the New
Chevrolet has been “knee-action’
front wheels, which changes a ride to
a glide. It is not necessary, accord
ing to Mr. McCrary to slow down
the car for bumps or jolts ahead,
and the occupants may be relaxed
at all times, quite regardless of the
type of surface. Moreover with the
introduction of independent front
wheel suspension is has been possi
ble to place the engine several
inches forward. As a consequence of
this change rhe new bodies are ap

last year’s models,
This new design results not only
in a more balanced distribution of
weight and improved rear spring
suspension for mo^e comfortable
riding, but easier steering, with
“fight” eliminated from the steering
wheel.
Closed bodies are equipped with an
improved type of Fisher No-DrdH
ventilation, which proved so popular

SAYS RESMNTl
-— -
Folk Are Being Ottcrinsinated
Against In Foods and
Work Projects
Editor The Times:
Please allow me space in your
paper, to protest against the unfair
ness of the distributor of the CWA
funds for this county.
I have recently taikeo with the
majority of the people living in the
East Fork section of Transylvania
courfty and they al! are complaining
bitterly about the “raw deal" that
has been handed them by She powers
that- be on the distribution of the
funds received from the Civil Works
and Employment Administration.
There has rot been a single pro
ject approved for the benefit of
the people living in this part of the
couniy. The only work.done was a
few days last year in cleaning off
a cemetery. The foreman and most
of the men on this work wen*
brought from other parts of the
county.
There are lots of women in the
East Fork section who need work
badly and they have done everything
they could to get a -ewing room
located here, but. they only pet prem
ises, and like the men in S1 me in
stances, insults.
I would be glad if those responsi
ble would tell the people through %
columns of your paper why the
needy and unemployed people of
this community cannot get their
share of the work.
