School Notes
This morning, Friday, the pupils of
the High School will hold their an
nual Christmas program. This year’s
promises to surpass the preceding
ones in originality and interest. Each
of the pupils will bring a gift—it
maybe an apple or it may be a tur
key—but each and all will be laid
around the huge Christmas tree in
the middle of the auditorium. Carols
will be sung under the direction of
proven to be a superlatively safe in
vestment, declares Paul J. Kiker,
Wadesboro, president of the North
Carolina Building and Loan League.
He points out that building anrt loan j
associations in this state, which ii. j
vest almost exclusively in home mor*.-1
gages, have established a record for
safety even better than the national
average. While several small associa
tions in the starj have gone into
voluntary liquidation during the lean
years of the depression, most of these
will pay their shareholders without
any appreciable losses, he says.
