Ducky Weather
Hundreds of ducks landed on
l ake Junaluska Tuesday after
noon. Some remained for sev
eral hours, and then took olT in
great haste, as a truck backfired
on Highway 19. and scared thein
into the air.
The Hock of several hundred
flew from the island and the
shallow water of the narrows,
over the cross and headed to
ward Waterville l.ake.
A score or more, larger ducks,
remained at .lunaluska. and paid
no heed to their hying brethren
overhead.
I'hotographers on shore tried
in vain to get a picture. Between
the dense fog. and the swift
fowls, and the drizzle of rain,
the cameramen gave up. saying:
"this is only fit weather for
ducks to he out."

1 The acceptance of an invitation
by, the 50-piece Wi lis orchestra
to plav before a national group of
musicians in New Orleans hung
in the balance today.
The orchestra has been invited
to play next March before the
Southern Music Educators Nation
al Conference. The group is made
up of college arid public school
music instructors.
Upon receipt of the invitation,
Charles Isley, director of music at
the high school, conducted a sur
vey of the parents of members of
i the orchestra. ai^J found that the
parents would pay for board and
I meals of the orchestra members
! for the 7-day trip
The budget of the music depart
ment cannot afford $1,000 to cov
er transportation costs, he said.
"Our only hope of accepting (tie
invitation is for interested per
sons to contribute that sum. We
| will not make a personal canvass,
nor will we be in a position to
contact a single person for a do
nation. Those Interested will please
I contact us." Isley explained.
lie explained that no solicitation
of funds would be made, and for
that reason, he nor any one con
nected with the department would
he in a position to make personal
calls.
The orchestra is now in its
third year, and is the only high
school orchestra west of Charlotte.
Plans were to use a 41-passeng
er bus. two cars and a truck to
make the trip. Conservative esti
mates are that the $1,000 would
cover the cost of all four vehicles
for the 700-mile journey.

Main Street
Site Being
Prepared
Within about sixty days, the
First National Bank will ofTVr ser
vice from three sides?the left, the
right, and inside.
Workmen aic now demolishing
the former Dixie Home Super
Murket. adjoining the Bank, mak
ing way for drive-in deposit facili
ties of the bank, and an expanded
installment loan department, plus
additional parking space for custo
mers while banking.
The First National has taken a
long-term lease on the 58-foot
Main Street lot, and on it will
build a 20-foot building the full
length of the bank building. This
will be used for the new drive-in
.service. The remainder of the lot.
besides the drive lane, will be
converted into a customer's park
ing. All of this is being done in
order to furnish every known bank
ing service to its many customers.
Depositors in cars will enter the
drive-in lane from Depot Street,
drive to a window, make their de
posit without getting out of tin-h
ears and then leave the bank park
ing lot by Main Street.
Jonathan Woody, president, said
that plans arc to push the work to
completion, and hopes to have it
ready within sixty days.
Several months ago the bank
. opened an outside service window.
: which remains open until four
o'clock five days a week. Regular
banking service is given at the
window, and is proving popular.
Special equipment, including
bullet-proof glass for the drive-ir.
department was purchased some
time ago, and will be ready for
installation by the time the addi
tional building is completed
Woody said the First National
Bank would be the first in this area
to offer four types of banking ser
vice: regular inside window ser
vice. the outside window service
after regular (ranking hours, night
"depository, and the new drive-in
service.
Two years ago next month the
bank observed its 50th anniversarx.
