MORE ABOUT Banks (CmUbiMI from Pag* 1) years The First National Bank has been conserving its earnings in or der to build up the capital of the bank so the institution could ade quately serve this area. The bank is now in a position to share the earnings with its customers, and we are most happy to announce the progressive step just taken by the board of directors." The First National Bank is the oldest unit in continuous service in Western Ndfth Carolina. In discussing the action of the directors of the two institutions. President Woody said that the new rate of interest being paid by the banks is a half per cent, more than the Postal Savings System is per mitted to pay. He went on to explain that sav ings deposits can be i withdrawn without any notice, ana are always immediately available for the cus tomer, in the event he needs money for any purpose. Getting back to Postal Savings, President Woody said that the maximum an individual can have in that unit of savings is $2,500. There is no limit to the amount a person can have in savings in a bank, he went on to explain. President Woody said the of ficials of the two banks took this action because with more money available for loans, the institutions can grant loans in this community which will increase taxable valu ation, and aid a large number of people in building, or expanding their businesses. "Under banking regulations, we can only loan 60 per cent of our total savings accounts on real estate," President Woody pointed out. "The more rhoney that is made available here for loaning to other folks to use in building on expand ing businesses just means that much towards a growing,-and pro gressive community," Woody con tinued. "It was this viewpoint that the directors of the two banks took the progressive step of increasing interest rates to be paid on sav ings," he explained.
