ALMOST GONE
(Walt Hargett, Asheboro
Courier-Tribune)
^ Some of Randolph county’s
landmarks that are vanishing are
the old covered bridges. Once
there were dozens of them
throughout the county, but now
they are hard to find. I have
found five, with directions from
Red Hughes at the highway of
fice—one over Richland Creek
south of highway 902, one over
Brush Creek east of Coleridge,
one over Mill Creek at Beane's
Mill (now Cox’s Mill), one over
the west branch of Little River
beyond Pisgah and one over
Uwharrie River North of high
way ti4. As road improvements
continue, the covered bridges w ill
be replaced, and I would like to
hear of any others still remaining
in the county

JUST TOLERABLE
(Sanford Herald)
When in the spring he asked a
tobacco farmer how his plant bed
was progressing he said, Just
tolerable.”
Later when the plants had been
set m the field the newcomer
questioned the farmer as to how 1
the crop was getting was getting !:
along to receive the answer, '‘Just
tolerable.”
When the crop was in the pro
cess of being cured the man from
i.j. not tit asked the farmer how it
looked. ' Just tolerable," was the
reply.
When the leaf was graded and
placed on auction the northerner
happened to be on sale and spy
ing the farmer walked up ti him
and asked, "Well how did it tell?" i
"Jus tolerable,” was the an- i
swer.
“Now I know what you south
erners mean when you say just
tolerable’,” he told the farmer,
Guaranty Takes
Over at Aurora
Maple T. Hail, chairman of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration, today announced that all
: deposits of the’ Bank of Aurora
are being taken over by the Guar
jantv Bank and Trust Company,
| Greenville. North Carolina. FDIC
| will advance about $1,500,000 in
cash to make the transfer possible.
Until the tr ansaction is complet
| eel, depositors of the Bank of Au
i ora may continue to do business
as usual at the banks' Aurora of
fice and at its Bayboro brnach.
[Chairman Hail assured depositors
of the bank that no depositor will
suliei a penny > loss and that
there will be no interruption to
1 their banking services.
The Bank ol Aurora had be
come overextended, the FDIC
Chairman declared, and its liquid
ity was impaired. In cooperation
with Gurney P. Hood, Commis
sioner of Banks for the State of1
North Carolina, and after consul
tation with W H. Woolard, presi
dent of the Guaranty Bank and
I Trust Company of Greenville, the
following plan was worked out:
1. The Guaranty Bank and
Trust Company will assume all
i deposit liabilities of the Bank of
Aurora;
2. Federal Deposit Insurance
i Corporation will advance cash in
an amount sufficient to cover all
deposits of the Bank of Aurora1
taken over by the Greenville in
stitution and. as security for its
advance, will take over all assets
of the Bank ot Aurora for orderly
liquidation;
3. The Guaranty Bank and Trust
Company will establish branch of
fices in the present home office
and Bayboro quarters of the Bank
of Aurora.
The plan has the full approval,
of Mr. Hood and the North Caro-1
lina Banking Board. A resolution
agreeing to the sale has been pass
ed by the board of directors of the
Bank ol Aurora. Mr. Woolard
and his executive committee have
approved the purchase and the es
tablishment of branches of the
Guaranty Bank and Trust Com
pany of Greenville in Aurora and
Bayboro.
Mechanical details of the trans-j'
lei iliav take a tew days. Mr. Hai l
said, but business meanwhile will
continue as usual at the Bank of
Aurora.
"This is the seventh instance in
which Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation has been called upon
in North Carolina to aid an insur
ed bank that encountered difficul- .
Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation is constantly i
alert to protect depositors in in- I
sured banks from anv loss of their
funds, and will continue to con
tiibute to stability of the hanking
system to the best of its ability.
1 he Guaranty Bank,and Trust
Company of Greenville is one of .
the oldest and most stable banks ‘
in North Carolina. It has a his- '
lory of continuous operation since
U101; it is well managed; it will
provide excellent service to the I
depositors whose accounts it is
lasing over: and it will continue 1
to provide the benetits of Federal <
ieposit insurance to those deposi- .
ors, Mr. Hai l concluded
alien he had looked over the *■
hecks. "You mean pretty damn <
lorry’.”

Speaking of the census, I used

reported 3,023 souls an the town.
But Hickory had been charted
as the “City of Hickory," and a
city must surely have more than
that number of inhabitants. The
businessmen were determined to
have at least 3,500, so they hired
a man to take the census again.
The man hired was a retired
Methodist preacher, and the poor
I soul trudged from pillar to post
[ and he could find 2,998, and some
i folks claimed that he counted
several as yet. unborn.
A HORRIBLE WORLD
(Laurinburg Exchange)
We are living in a horrible
world, says a woman writer,
when the vong have to be taught
to avoid and distrust all stran
gers. "Yet we know many may
be saved if they can be trained
to resist the lure of an auto ride,
a piec^ of candy or the promise
of an i^-e cream soda.”
The observation is pertinent
and to the point. But it is a bad
world when children must be
warned against the stranger and
the wolves in human form who
prey upon the innocent and the
helpless.
