At the last meeting of the Cleve land county teachers in the graded school auditorium there was reorgan ized the Cleveland county group of the North Carolina Educational asso ciation. The following officers were elected: President, Mr! Lawton Blan tons vice-president, Miss Meldona Livingstone; secretary-treasurer, Mrs Phyrnia White. Th's organization has not been functioning for two or three years, but a now interest has been manifested in the reorganiza tion of this local group, and it is the purpose of the county superintendent and its officers to make it a hundred per cent organization by enrolling ev ery teacher in the county. The purpose of this organization is not only to promote the best educa tional interests of the county, but to foster and support any movement which tends toward the bettering of the educational facilities of the state as well. If the teachers of this county desire to know what arc the educa tional policies of the state,, and if thev are ambitious to be progressive and in harmony with the state’s edu cational leadership for better schools through the system of consolidation, the ere-tion of modern buildings, modernly equipped, and the better training of teacher, then it becomes imperative that every teaher become a part and parcel of this organiza tion.

C. »i mi ■ IWJMn————————— * . . /I '?'§ 1 One of Use largest banks in New York City, The Equitable Trust Co., sent us this advertise- '■{ .3 iS m 1": ment and gave us pei mission to copy it as our advertisement. HI I j ’ M<* -i > - , Every man owes three things to *^5 -.1 *f \ his bank t* THE DEPOSITOR who wrote the following letter has given permission to publish it. Has the thought he expresses ever occurred to you? Do you agree with him? ■ ■64 y r .‘•fi J i £ i I £3 \4 M i t-'il : flir: The Equitable Trust Company 37 Wall Street, New York Gentlemen: You have published many advertise ments about your obligations to me as a de positor. 1 think it is time for one of your customers to write an advertisement about his obligations to you, his bank. As I see it, I owe you three things—and money (at the moment, thank the Lord) is not cne of them. 1 I owe it to you, as well as to myself, to maintain a good business reputation. To x you because I expect you to demand this of your other depositors. If I have business dealings with a customer of the Equitable 1 assume that because he is an Equitable customer, he pays his bills, has regard to the sanctity of a contract, and is otherwise dependable. I cannot expett you to up hold this standard on the part of others, unless 1 do my personal share in upholding it. 2 I owe it to you to maintain a balance on which you can make a profit. I expect you to maintain convenient offices, which means high rents, high taxes and other ex penses. I call on you for a variety of ser vices, many of which were never thought of as a part of banking ten years ago. You cannot meet these expenses and render these services unless you are making mon ey. If you make no money on me, then I am riding on the back of your other deposi tors. I don’t want others riding on my back. I expect, therefore, not to ride, but. to walk and to carry my share of your load. • 3 I owe you an obligation to accept your decision cheerfully, if you sometime say “No.” If you haven’t the courage to say “No” many times a day, and stick to it, I don’t want my money in your bank. I ex pect you to say “No” when you are invited to make speculative investments—because part of the money you invest is my money. I expect you to say “No” when you are ask ed to make questionable loans, or to pay too high a rate of interest, or to lend at too low a rate. I want all the interest I can get; and all the accommodation I can get. But first of all I want to be dead sure that what money I have with you is absolutely safe. It can’t be safe unless you are conservative. And any man or institution that is conservative must necessarily say “No” every day. If ever you say it to me,' therefore, I owe it to you to believe that you are saying it be cause it is in the best interests of all your* depositors of whom I am one. This 15 a straight from the shoulder letter. We believe the spirit of fair-dealing which it represents is eminently characteristic of the customers of this bank. We are proud of this spirit and grateful fcr it. It has been a very big factor in The First National’s success. FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Shelby CAPITAL AND SURPLUS HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
