No Decision Here
On Higher Interest
Whether Chapel Hill banks
will hike their interest rates on
savings deposits was pure specu
lation yesterday.
The Federal government this
week authorized insured banking
institutions throughout the na
tion to increase their interest
rates on savings up to 3 per cent,
which represents a one-half of
one per cent raise.
Local bankers said the govern
ment authorization had not been
considered by their boards of di
rectors, and, in any event, any
decision on the matter would be
in the light of individual bank*
ing policies and earnings.

I have never known any
other couple to have for a
baby sitter such an exalted
person as the one who serves
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shaf
fer. When they were return
ing from a dinner to the Sir
Walter hotel in Raleigh one
night last week and 1 met
them in the lobby, 1 learned
that the Chief Justice of the
North Carolina Supreme
Court was up in their room
taking care of their child
tor them. The explanation of
why Chief Winborne
is willing, indeed eager, to
perform this service free for
the Shatters whenever the
opportunity offers is that
their child is his grandchild.
