who complain about Virginia’s hand

The hard-hitting “general”, whose
voice m a t c h e s his commanding
manner of speaking, told Farmville
Lions in a guest address that “motor
transport which includes the high
way network1 has added more
wealth than anything else that's
ever happened.”
The Old Dorn moil's No 1 ngh

highway records show that "within
a month or two the sum sport on
Prince Edward county high ways
since state control was inaugurated
will reach $10,000,000 "

In support of funds going into the

In a filial remark to those “in a

urge you to investigate the broad
highway program that is unfolding
before you the Interstate and re

art out on the fringes of the big time, with support from an admini
stration that isn't sure which way it wants to go athletically.
We suspect the W&M coach will be a high school man on the
way up not a good college man, who with very good reason would
look at it from present Williamsburg actions, as a step down.
Athletics and Missed Classes:
H .ward R. Richardson, executive secretary of the Virginia High
School League twhich is the controlling organization behind all high
school athletic activities in Virginia*, says sports do not cause too
many absences from the classroom.
H-- based his answer on a year-long survey of attendance records
at high schools in District J. which embraces Buckingham County,
along \y;ih five more counties and the City of Charlottesville.
Tie VHSL secretary . surv* •. shows that only 6.6 per cent of all
da s abs aces in the sen;.; yar resulted from students being ex
cused to compete in athletics. That- percentage, incidentally, corre
sponds exactly to that caused by excuses to permit students to work.
Thai s a small percent a ..e of the 28.554 recorded absences, but
even that much serves to underscore the necessity of the usually
"revered" c ich to make the time profitable by good methods, disci
pline and encouragement of the best qualities in his players. Other
wise th*’ Ikst place is the classroom'

Shocking, isn't it? Yet it’s the tragic truth. Last year alone
there was a total of 177,000 forest fires throughout the ITS., t
an average of nearly 500 per day!
These fires were not small ones, either. They burned a total
area of nearly 10 million acres—larger than the states of Massa
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island combined!
Just the cost of fighting them came to more than 70 million
dollars. And that doesn’t count the loss of watershed, timber,
recreational values and even lives.
And the most tragic part of all is that 9 out of 10 of these fires
were preventable because they were caused by just plain old
human carelessness —carelessness with campfires, cigar
ettes, brush and clearing fires, burning rubbish, etc.
So please —won’t you do your part in helping to put an end to
this needless waste? Be extra careful with fire, wherever you are.
Observe local regulations when burning rubbish. Use your ash
tray when motoring. Make sure your campfires are out — dead
out! Help keep America green!

which was imported from Scotland,
all the materials that went into he
building of the mill were native
products.
The rock of which the ground
floor walls were built was quarried
[from the surrounding hills, the
brick was fired on a kiln on the
farm. The huge rafters, thirty feet
long and eight inches thick, were
hewn with a broad-axe. and it took
one tree to make each rafter.
The twelve inch th'ck floor joists
for the third floor extend the width
of the mill; thus each joist meas
ures over forty feet. The floor joists
ifor the first two floors are made of
heavier timber, composed of two
sections, jointed at the center line.
All the timber used was heart pine,
which is not obtainable now.
In the original construction, wood
en pegs and hand-made nails were
used. All the original timber is still
in the mill.
Dnuhl Dormers
There are dormer windows at
both third and fourth floor levels.
It has been said that tins is the
only mill in the South which has
two tiers of dormer windows.

ot Frederick J James, who owned
it until 1813. when it was purchased
by William Bondurant. It remained
in the Bondurant family until 1847.
when John Bondurant sold it to
Francis B. Dean. He, in turn, sold
it to W H Rhodes and Benjamin
H. Powell Later the Abrams fanvly
acquired it. and still later the
Hughes family came into possession
of it. Andrew Floyd Moon purchased
the mill in 1888 and sold it to his
son-in-law. Marion E. Blanton, in
1930. Mr. Blanton is the present
owner.
The original dam—a wooden struc
ture, a portion of which still re
mains—was some 300 yards up the
creek from the present dam. which
was built by A. F. Moon shortly
after he acquired the mill.
Early History
In the early days of the mill's
history, sacks of wheat were “toted'’
up the long flights of stairs by
slave boys, ft was ground on stone
burrs then, just as corn is ground
into meal now. These old burrs are
still in the mill.
In those days, flour was packed
into barrels by hand with a large
wooden plunger, mounted on a
lever. This antique apparatus can
also be seen by visitors to the mill.
Even the barrels were made in a
. cooper shop on the place
! Packet boats were towed up the
Kanawha canal from Richmond, and
flat boats or barges made their way
up Muddy Creek and loaded ffour
at the mill. The sill of the door
where the barges tied up to receive
their cargo is almost worn through
from barrels being dragged across
-
t. ■ The barges then went back down
Muddy Creek and transferred their !
largo to the packet boats at Pem
berton Front there it was taken to ;
Richmond and points east, or to
Lynchburg and points west.
Customers taking wheat' to the.
mill in earlier years usually took
their flour home the same day.
However, when H was necessary to
leave their wheat, many of those
who could not read or write, kept
notched sticks in what was then
known as the "counting room", and
the notches indicated the number of
bushels of grain left In the mill.
Ghosts?
Besides its claim to antiquity,
Muddy Creek Mill also boasts a
ghost. When Mr. Moon owned the
mill, a bachelor uncle. Kitt Harlan,
lived with him and his family and,
for a time, slept in the "Counting
room" at the mill. Ever since his
death, a light can be seen at an
upper window of the mill on certain
nights. Always though, when the
front door opens, the light goes out.
The present owners have dubbed
the ghost "Uncle Kit".
Black snakes are excellent in the
control of rodents, and one miller
used to catch them and put them
in the mill. For a long time, the
mill's "pet" was a seven-foot black
snake, but someone, ignorant of its
value, killed it.
Sycamore, willow and Pirch trees
form a lovely background for this
old mill, and behind it a craggy old
blue trees, where tall oaks stand
and laurel blooms in spring.
Whether the trees wear leaves that
are fresh and verdant as in Spring,
or whether they are many-colored
by the f.rst touches of frost, the
j scene is truly beautiful. Even when
the bare branches of the trees are
laden with snow and ice. they
seem to stand guard witli solemn
splendor over the old mill that now
! seems almost as timeless as the
hills and trees themselve.

districts now less than 30 years
after a nationwide program got
underway. Elolding rain watei

Another Step Forward
If A I\ street took another step forward
'' . the First National Bank opens form
al!) its new building at the corner of Main
and Third streets, adding greatly to the
appearance of this important thorough
fare. The modern functional type of build
ing provides excellent quarters for the con
venience of staff as well as customers. The
new building adds to the many changes
which have been made in the business sec
tion during the past f50 years, much of it
within the last ten year period.
Kstaldished in 1!)00, the First National
Bank has contributed to the progress of
this area. N. 1>. Davidson, its first presi
din’. served "‘.G years. He was a community
leader and several of the important indus
trial and business enterprises begun by
him contribute largely to the economy of
the section today. J. E. Garland, his succes
sor, carried forward with progressive poli
cies during his 20 year term, prior to re
tirement this year to become president
emeritus. He is succeeded by his son, R. E.
Garland, who with a devoted staff of offic
ers and employees will carry foward the
good work of the preceding administra
tions.
From its beginning Farmville has been
blessed with sound, progressive financial
institutions. Their progress augers well for
the future of this area.
Democracy On Trial
rrilK lali t United Nation statistical vear
bool,, published recently, showed that
the min'-t’ommunist world produced an all
time record quantity of goods in 1955, but
that the Communist world produced a
larger proportion of the . world total than
it did in the preceding year.
In other words, the Communist bloc eco
nomy is growing at a faster pace than is
the f'Vi world’s and it is estimated that
the < v noii id countries have increased
tin m- '.v id world production from six
teen per reel in 1 to twenty-two and a
half per cent a - ot' 1955.
The. e fig;in are interesting, inasmuch
a the\ indicate that the communist econo
mic threat i not baloney, and they should
si. rve as a stimulus to the free world, es
pecially to 1 he leaders of the United
Stal i 1 lild a
strong and expanding U. S, economy.
The great danger to the United States
is higher and higher costs, and unreasona
ble profit in some cases — could cause
such a spiral in living costs that the econo
my would suffer setback. In such a case,
either a severe recession or depression, the
Communist world would register signifi
cant gains, comparatively, and a situation
might result which could alter the world’s
economic balance fundamentally.
And while the Government has a respon
sibility to do all it can to maintain a strong
economy, so do leaders of the giant corpor
ations and big businesses in this country.
They are morally obligated to voluntarily
utilize certain restraints, accept reasonable
profits and create good working condi
tions. Unions, too, are obligated to do their
share in attempting to maintain a strong,
free economy.
In the final phase, the willingness of all
Americans — including capital, labor and
governmental leaders — to think of the
best interest of their country may deter
mine the long-term winner of the battle be
tween Communism and Democracy.
The South Lost a War
April 2(> th is celehrnt. <1 as Confederate
1 * Memorial Pay in Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida; and Georgia, In North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee, the observ
ance is held on May 10. In various other
Southern States, different days are used
for the observance.
Confederate Memorial Pay is. of course,
an exclusively Southern observance. Decor
ation Pay. which for many years was ob
served in memory of the triumph of the
Grand Arn m tin Republic, is celebrated
on Max .”>0 out ■;.ie tie South.
Today. Memorial Pay falls on May ‘>0
and is observed fairly generally through
out the nation. It is a day to honor the
memory of all thosi who participated in
the war.- of our ... Nevertheless,
Confederate Memorial !•; ;■ continues to he
observed in the South.
It should be rcira-mbum! that the South
is till* only section of the United States
which ever experienced, losing a war. Nat
urally. the hardship- and trials of a re
construction period are vivid memories in
the South and it is nht to he forgotten that
mail) assets and many businesses* were lost
in the turbulence of reconstruction in the
South'. This part of the country had to
struggle back to life and to prosperity the
hard way, without *ny aid program or
without much aid from within, since its
currency had become worthless upon the
defeat of the Confederate armies.
Human understanding dictates sympa
thy for an honorable people, who fought
an honorable struggle on points of princi
ple. The recent notion, helped along by
misleading movies and television, that the
South fought a war for slavery, is an inac
curate description.Abraham Lincoln, U. S.
Grant, Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee,
among the foremost leaders of the period,
all agreed that the war was fought on the
question of state sovereignty, of local in
dependence and local self-government and
state government.
It is well that all Americans remember
that this war, between the North and the
South, was not a black and white affair,
that there were as many good men on one
side as the other, and as many conscien
tious and sincere men on one side as the
other. The question whether state sover
eignty allowed a state the constitutional
right to secede from the Union was settled
by the war, and today Americans subscribe
to the sentiment — “one flag, one country,
one nation.”
Keducing Tobacco Use
A nia,i"r u'i nmt r."' i aura mi reported re
cent !> that t igaivtte companies had
made grcalcr pnu:!s in than in sev
eral previous years and that one of the ma
jor reasons tor this was the high profit
margin being realized from filter ciga
rettes.
It i.- interesting to nott that the filter
cigaret e often costs less to make than the
non-filter cigarette, but apparently be
cause the publi, i often not aware of this,
filter cigarette have often sold at pre
mium priei Filter cigarettes require less

11 " ii1 ’ ' Cr-grade tobacco, and some
t!!”' ere with part.' of the tobacco
[dant which iormerly was thrown awav.
i hei el in e, we cannot see why the public
should be paying a nickle more, or anv
tliitig more, for filter-tip cigarettes. And,
as far am nicotine content of filter-tip cig
arette- is concerne ] then is very little dif
ferrnce in the nicotine realized from filter
tips and non-filter-tips. There is an appre
ciable difference in the amount of tars.
Ifowever, filter-tips are preferred by
many smokers, and they have increased
their share of the total cigarette market
about fifteen-fold since 1952. The public
evidently likes the harder tip and the ab
sence of tobacco on the lips, which often
occurs with a non-filter cigarette.
lu.-t tor today I will adjust myself to
what is. and try not to adjust everything
to mv own desires. I will take, mv “luck” as

God Made Us Last
Lesson for \pril 78. 1957
• HE readers of this column will
* not all read Genesis in the
same day. Some will take it pretty
literally, others will read the early
chapters in it as picture-storii s.
parables in half poetic form. All
readers, it is hoped, can agree on
one point: that whether we take
these stories literally or as para
bies. the meaning
is the same in
any case We do
not have to go
grubbing in ob
scure corners tor
the meanings and
messages of Gen
esis. Tiie book
was not written
for people with
compl i c a t e d
l)r. Foreman
minds. The meanings it conveys
are on the surface, 01 so near it
that the simplest readers can see
them.
The Earth Is Man's Home
From the second story of crea
tion which we' find in Genesis, in
chapter 2, the story which concen
trates on man himself, we can
select some outstanding impres
sions which the story makes, and
no doubt was intended to make.
First of all, this earth is the home
of man That is its principal use
Man came late to the planet; God
made us last We did not make our
appearance here till all was ready
fur us. Some thinkers have thought
of man as a sort of homeless crea
ture, dropped into this earth al
most by accident, fitting in no
where. Quite the ei nt
might be lonely and restless on
some far galaxy, but not on this
green earth Man. furthermore,
being at the top of the ladder of
creation, is master of this planet.
This does not n can he is master
of the universe It may be dis
covered some day, as the scieufre
fiction boys have already sug
gested, that men may some day
find themselves on another planet,
hut as intruders, only to be thrown
out or destroyed But on this earth
man has a right to live, and to
achieve mastery. In Genesis I
iwhere the horizon is wider than
in Gen. 2> man is told- Replenish
the earth and a.ibduc it Man, in
short, is to work together with
God in bringing order and com
pleteness to the planet which is
his rightful home.
Top of Creation
Let us pursue that thought about
the top of creation a little furthe:
This story in Genesis presents man
as made from dust and all other
living things, both plants and
beasts and birds, are likewise
sprung from the dust by the power
of God Man has a kind of kinship
with all of life, and therefore, as
Albert Schweitzer has said must
have a reverence for life Man
cannot give life to himself nor to
any other creature; and should be
very slow about taking life of any
sort. Nevertheless it is much
nearer the truth to say that the
creation is made for man, than
that man is made for the rest, of
creation. Not that God intends
everything in the world to be used.
It is an interesting point that the
trees of Eden are not all good for
food; some of them are simply
beautiful to see. "Tie beauty of
the world, sometimes its useless
beauty (like a sunset) is for man
alone, just as its usefulness- -some
times its unbeautiful usefulness —
is appreciated best by man alone.
Only man can heat the arctic
and cool the tropics, only man
can bring his foods from the ends
of. the earth.
On* Man Is No Man"
The Greeks had a slog; ri One
man Is no man, meaning 'hat we
each need the help ami companion
ship of others to live at all, as
human beings. The story of the
first man as told in Genesis illus
trates this in a moving way. God
sees that this man is incomplete,
though he is set in the midst of
great beauty and has work to oc
cupy mind and hands. So God pro
duces all the other animals: but
man can only talk about them, not
with them. So at last another hu
man being is made. Before, there
was only a man alone: now there
is a human race. This is not sci
ence, not intended to be: but it is
a profound truth. Man is made for
community. Without it, sinks to
the brutes' level. In community a
man becomes human. And yet if
the only companionship man finds
is human, he has still missed his
destiny. For man was made for
fellowship, above all. with God.
Only as friend of God can man
become what God intended him

THE RESURRECTION
The jonquils and the tulips spring
To greet the holy day;
Spring violets and crocus bloom
To deck the Conqueror's way.
From hidden depths, the seas of earth
Fling drops of crystal dew
That fall on coral reefs to sound
His praise in accents new.
In fiery dance the planets whirl
In realms of cosmic light,
While sparkling stars in skies above
Spread radiance infinite.
Their rapturous praise the angels sing
In vast harmonious choir,
While Seraphs from the throne of God
Strike the melodious lyre.
Let earth rejoice in ecstasy
While loud hosannas ring.
And man, redeemed, with songs of praise
Greet Christ the risen King.

How To Save
More Lives
Once more, the American Can-,
cer Society has launched the an
nual April Crusade to raise $30.
000,000 for its national programs
of research, education and service.
Certainly in the light of the re
markable progress being made
against cancer, there is no ques
tion that these programs deserve
our utmost support.
Today one-third of all cancer
patients are being saved. This
contrasts with a decade ago when
roughly one cancer patient in
every four could be saved. This
gain is remarkable for two rea
sons: first is that cancer was
formerly a disease regarded as
hopeless" by leading medical
opinion: and second the saving of
what amounts to additional 30,
000 lives annually has come with
out benefit of any radically new
methods of treatment. And still
another 75,000 lives can be saved
each year.
Advances in cancer control to
date are ihe fruits of public sup
port for voluntary health agencies
like the American Cancer Society.
I': programs have been vital to
this progress.
The record .shows tha: the re
search attack on cancer has be
come the greatest, the costliest
undertaking in medical history.
The record shows that public
knowledge of cancer is at an all
time high, although it has a long
way to go.
The record shows increasing
concern and recognition of can
cer as a major health problem
among America's physicians.
Now is the tune to secure the
future victory over cancer.
Your whole-hearted support
and cooperation with the 1957
Cancer Crusade of the American
Cancer Society will help to assure
that victory.
Give now and give generously.

early stage for such showing to
take place tn any man's adminis

this is no time to beat the admin

Exposition Year Celebration
Charlotte County Tour May 1, 2, Will
Highlight Historic Homes, Churches
Charlotte County, “the home of
Patrick Henry,” will feature old
homes, churches and public build
ings in its historic tour planned for
May 1 and 2, in cooperation with
the Jamestown Festival,
It was at Charlotte Court House,
on a court day in 179ft, that John
Randolph and Patrick Henry had
their famous debate on States
Rights. The present Court House
was built in 1823, from sketches by
Thomas Jefferson.
The public library, at Charlotte
Court House, will serve as infor
mation center for the tour and
tickets may be obtained there or at
any of the homes. The library build
ing was once the residence of Judge
Hunter Marshall and William Wirt
Henry. Patrick Henry’s grandson
often read law there. It's now con
verted into a library through the
munificence of Col. David K. E.
Bruce, of “Staunton Hill". The old
vegetable garden in the rear is now
a formal garden, with two tea
houses and later white marble busts
of six Roman emporers were added
to the site.
Several old churches will be in
cluded in the tour. Also, the site of
Cub Creek built in 1730 and known
to be the mother of Presbyterian
churches in this area. A monument,
has been erected there to the Cub
Creek Settlement Among the older
churchs are Rough Creek built in
1769. and Ash Camp Church, origi
nally an Episcopal Church built be
fore the Revolution. The other
churches are the Village Presby
terian and Mt. Tirzah.
Tankersley Tavern is probably the
oldest house in Charlotte County It
was here that George Washington
and his party had breakfast in
June. 1791. It was from the portico
of the Tavern in 1799 that John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, made his first
public speech and Patrick Henry
his last.
Roanoke Plantation with Ran
dolph's office will be open to visi
tors. This was the old home of John
Randolph, of Roanoke
Mulberry Hill, old home of Judge
Paul Carrington, and built in the
1700's, is still owned and occupied
by his descendants. Judge Carring
ton was the first Virginia Slate
Supreme Court judge.
Gravel Hill was built in 1849 and
is now owned by Mrs. Rufus Colfax
Phillips. Jr.
Ridgeway was built in IRS.") and is
part of the John Coles grant of
1740.
Arcadia will also be open for tho
tour. It was built in 1847 as a wed
ding gift for Captain John G.
Smith and his bride, Ada G. Henry
Smith, granddaughter of Patrick
Henry.
Moldavia was once a girls' board
ing school, built in 1852 by Rev
David Comfort His school offered
courses irr Hebrew and Latin as well
as modern Greek, French and Ger
man.
It was at Woodfork. the large
brick home three miles north of
Charlotte Court House, that early
in March, 1799, Patrick Henry spent
the night before making his last
public address, at Charlotte Court
House.
Ville View was built by CoL
James Marshall in 1812. John Ran
dolph, a close friend of the colonel,
often spent the night there, with his
pack of English hounds.
Completing the list of homes and
gardens open for the two day tour
are: Kentwood with large setting
and grounds, home of Mr and Mrs.
J. Kent Early; Maple Roads, a
large brick house with unusual
architectural features, and the Old
Brick Tavern recently restored by
Mr. and Mrs. S D. Laughlin.
This is the first tour conducted
in Charlotte County in many years
and affords all the citizens of the
county and visitors a wonderful op
portunity to see some of the old
homes of the county that are private
residences.
A large map of the county and
picutres of all the places will be in
the library so anyone desiring any
information or directions may ob
tain them there.
Queen Elizabeth has bestowed the
title of Prince upon her husband,

Scenes like this are as commonplace as
the moonbeams that play on the nursery
wall. Little Gail doesn't know it . . . but
Daddy and Mummy “look in” on her
every night.
But what of the hours when parents
sleep? What of the busy playtime when
Daddy’s at work, and Mummy's in the
kitchen, and Gail is out walking her
doll? Who will “look in” then?
Centuries ago the Hebrew pilgrims
went up to Jerusalem for the great feasts,
lifting their eyes to the hills, singing the
song of “The Divine Vigil.”
He that keepeth thee will not slumber
rang the voice of the leader. He that
keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor
sleep answered the chorus.
Even the loving care of parents is no
substitute for the faithfulness of God.
When you worship in church next Sun

FARM PRICE
OUTLOOK
1 his is the wav prospects for Virginia farm prices looked
to the Virginia Department of Agriculture on Friday. The De
partment offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can
predict prices and be right all the time.
Hogs
There probably won't be much
change in ling prices in the next
couple of weeks.
Receipts art in the general down
ward trend. Last week they were
six per cent less than the week bo
fop 17 per cent below the same
week a year ago.
In both 1955 and 1956, prices held
fairly steady for around six weeks
after Easter.
Virginia auctions averaged five
cents higher last week at $18.05 top
weight; Richmond yards, 25 cents
higher at $lf!-SI8.5(i. Mid-West mar
kets were 25 cents higher at $18.25
to $18.75.
Cattle
It should pay to aim at moving
any finished slaughter animals as
soon as they're ready, with mid
June as a sort of deadline.
The slight slack in local supply
will probably be felt through this
period, the in-between time of fed
cattle sales and off-grass sales.
Results of the final state-graded
Stocker sales last week compared
to 1956. were:
Richmond, good choice, and fancy
teers, $23-$25.25; top $26: good,
choice and fancy heifers, $18-$20;
top, $21.50.

Last week's sale prices on regu
j lar livestock auction markets were
t Lynchburg, good, $20-$22.80, and
Petersburg, good. $16-$19.50.
White Potatoes
Chances of hitting the streak of
: luck Virginia's white potato growers
: had last year are pretty slim.
Plant growth is already a week
j or more late, and acreage on the
Shore is around nine per cent above
last year; the rest of the state
: about the same as last year.
Harvesting will probably be
| stretched out over more time, and
chances of meeting volume compe
tition from other producing areas
are increased.
Strawberries
Strawberries on the Shore were
hurt by frost last week, almost
surely enough to delay volume pick
ing as much as two weeks. Favor
able weather between now and then
is the only hope for overcoming the
damage Acreage is eleven per cent
above last year.
Tomatoes
Some tomato fields were badly
hurt by the frost; some hurt none
at all. Replanting is under way in
some places.

FARMYILLE, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1957
First National Holds Formal Opening
M W FIRST NATIONAL BANK BlILDING. formally delieated Thursday evening, April 25. It replaces two buildings which formerly
stood on this corner. Of cream brick, trimmed in blue pearl Granox marble with overhanding marquee.
New Quarters Last
Word In Blending
Colors, C omfort
As the two glass doors swing
open at the entrance corner of
Main and Third streets the large
public area of the new quarters of
the First National Bank gives one
the feeling of spacious warmth
and pleasure. The spaciousness is
achieved by the absence of col
umns in the 50 x 52 foot area.
The warmth is the resuL of
blending colors — the walnut fur
niture and fixtures, blending with
tlie touches of brown in the rub
ber tile floor, the cream sidewalls,
and the gray acoustical tile ceil
ing. The focal point is the beau
tiful mural, an agricultural scene
developed from three separate
photographs made on local farms.
i ue piate glass loaning uie
tides of the building, on Main
street and on Third street, give
natural light, and an expansive
ness not generally found in a bus
iness building. The lighting ef
fect is controlled by wall-to-eeil
ing drapes of blending chocolate,
woodrose, sand and champagne.
Entering, to the left are six
teller’s windows, assuring custom
ers of speedy service. The note
teller’s window is directly in front
of the public area entrance, and
to the right are the desks of the
officers, with a private office in
the rear for the executive vice
president.
At the rear of the public area
is the bookkeeping department
entirely .separated from the pub
lic. jet conveniently located to be
of service to the customers. Mod
ern. accurate and speedy calculat
ing and record making machines
are in use throughout the book
keeping department, which are
operated by three bookkeepers,
and a proof clerk.
The floor of the public area, of
brown and cream rubber tilt-, adds
to the illusion of expans iveness
Indirect lighting is used
throughout the new quarters ac
centuating ti.e masterful blend -

The First National Bank offers
a complete bank service to the
people of this area. The servict
offered by its financial institu
tions is often a controlling factor
in the progress of a community.
Individuals and business houses
place their money with the bank
to be used by the bank directors
in making loans to other bus
inesses, individuals, or for invest
ment in securities. In providing
this service, the bank must assure
that the funds of its depositors
are invested safely and the bank
must always be in a position to
repay its depositors according to
its agreement.
Among the services, are such
programs as Christmas S a v -
ines Accounts, and Vacation and
Tax Savings Accounts Also, the
bank offers its customers the con
venience and protection of safe
deposit boxes and travelers
checks. In addition. The First Na
tional Bank makes many differ
ent kinds of loans such as bus
iness loans, real estate loans, au
tomobile loans, appliance loans,
and personal cash loans.

Mural Features Local
Herds, Leaf, Timber
By HI I L WALL
The large mural on the north in
side wall of The First National Bank
is not merely a decoration It is a
i y m b o i of ? way of life--the
agrarian way of life that has built
Farmville and ' surrounding area.
The mural ties in three local
sC'-ii-'s. to giw !‘ e effect of a large
picture window. The local scenes
were chosen deliberately to repre
sent li\ * to< • . ; 'hacco and fores
try three of the fundamentals that
have alwavs !«•«••; the main source
of economy in this area.
The process by which the three
photographs art welded together is
and interesting and intricate one.
Th< work was dune by Elliott Ly
man Fisher, of Ash< v He. N. C.
Although cemplieat* d. a brief out
line of hi; method is understand
able.
The fir.- t proe« ss was the taking
of the local scenes Earl T Agee,
a Farmville photographer, took
these pictures in the usual manner.
Of course the n-natives had to be
pin-point sharp.
These negatives were sent to
Fisher in North Carolina. He se
lected the three scenes that blended
best. Enlargements were made of
the three scene and these were
pasted together, forming a minia
ture or original of the mural.
This scene wa - then copied by a
copying camera with an unusually
large negative. This negative was
then used to make the enlarged
print that forms the mural.

ago. He served as treasurer of
Cumberland county for 36 years be

Burton for six years on the Hudson
farm just west of Farmville before
he moved to the farm he now owns. '
He rented that farm for several
years, and then bought it with the!
money he had saved. Since that.
time he has brought his farm to its :
present prosperous state, and it is:
generally referred to as one of the I
‘best farms in this area.”
Mr. Smith does not actively farm |
now He has turned the reins over
to his son C. M Smith. Jr. and;
grandson. John Marshall Smith.
The farm contains 567 acres and j
about 300 acres are cleared. Mr. j
Smith explained that the farm was j
mostly woods when he bought it and j
he has cleared the land that now j
supports the tobacco, corn, and;
other crops that flourish on his |
farm.
Mercy Farm
The livestock scene is symbolic
not only of beef, but of dairying
and all livestock in general
The picture was taken on the beef

town of Farmville. He bought, the
farm in 1948 from C J. Cox. Farm- '

was momentary consternation and
extra precautions, but the scare
: o n ird quickly when the famous
thug failed to show up.
Perhaps the greatest change in
banking from the days of her start
has been in bank resources Once,
demand deposits constituted the
bulk of business. Now. traditional
American husbandry has made sav
ings deposits the No. 1 account.
And the confidence reflected ini
the growth of savings by so many
who put complete reliance in then

of the integrity, the efficiency, of

Trust Department
The Trust Department of the First
Nat ional Bank is a department en
tirely separate and distinct from
the regular Commercial Depart
ment It must make its reports to
and be examined periodically by
..: ■ wml supervising authorities. The
• ■ i : dm
t'-ator. executor, trustee, or com
mittee.
In many instances individuals or
groups of individuals may not find,
time to handle extensive real estate;
rentals, maintain proper insurance.;
end pay the numerous taxes and;
monthly bills. In such cases th>*.
Trust Department may be called on :
to render these services and dis
tribute the income. This type of an
account is called an agency account ;
Often, the bank, through its Trust j
Department acts as administrator i
of a deceased person's estate. It is:
the duty of the administrator to see j
that the personal estate is di.s |
tributed according to law.
As executor, the bank’s duty is to j
s-*e that the wishes of the deceased i
person are carried out in accor j
dance with the will There are
many reasons why it is desirable
to have a bank named as executor j
of one’s w'i.11 rather than an indi
vidual. An individual may die leav
ing complicated problems or a wife
named executrix may be subjected
to undue hardships. The past ex
perience of the bank in such matters
is most valuable.
Whenever a person is declared in
competent. relatives may desire the
bank to handle the affairs. In such
cases the bank acts as committee
or trustee and must give annual
accountings to the commissioner of
accounts who must approve them
in the same manner as with an ad
ministrator’s or executor's account.
The Trust Department of tne
First National Bank is under the
supervision of S. Bruce Spencer.
After graduating from Hampden
Sydney College with a B A Degree
in 1937. Mr. Spencer v; employed
by the First National Hr where
he served until Apiul, 1942 when
he entered the United States Naval
Reserve. He served oversea* with
the amphibian fores in the Euro
pean Theatre of Operation until
October 1945 when he was re
leased from active duty as lieuten
ant. Returning to the bank in No
vember. 1945, Mr. Spencer was
made ass’stant cashier in 1946 He
became assistant cashier and assis
tant trust officer in June, 1955. In
January. I95f>. Mr Spencer asumed
his present position of cashier and
trust officer.
Permanent Record
Of Checks Made
By Microfilming
There is more to banking than
meets the eye.
On first thought one' considers
that all it is to banking is writing
checks, cashing checks and put
ting money on deposit. This as
just scratching the surface
Handling checks is one of the
big jobs of the bank By making
their checking services inexpen
sive and convenient banks have
speeded up the wheels of business
and made possible a host of cred
it plans, mail order houses, and
have reduced the amount of cash
carried in public.
To protect the bank and the
check writer and everyone involv
ed in the “checking” process, the
bank “takes a picture” of every
check that it takes in.
The picture process is called
microfilming” A specially de
signed machine takes a miniature
picture of each check in the bank
and this microfilm picture is filed
in case it is needed.
If a question arises about a
OFFICES—S. Bruce Spencer, cashier and trust officer, left, and John II. Varner, assistant cashier
and manager of the Farm Service Department, right, shown in the spacious offices at the ri?ht of
the entrance to the bank.
check, the bank can refer to its
microfilm and prove that the
check was written, and any in
formation about the check.* The
machine films both sides of the
check, so that not only the
amount date and original signa
ture can be seen, but a record ts
also made of the endorsement;
that appear on the reverse side of
the check. Most of the operations
on the machine are completely
automatic.
This mach ne is located in the
proof and transit department of
The First National Bank
Also located in this department
is a National accounting machine
on which the general ledger is
posted and the trust department
bookkeeping is done on this ma
chine The machine is also used
for typing note notices, and post
ing notes to the liability ledger
These two ops-rat.an.s are done si
multaneously

Interest in reforestation has been
on the increase m the past several
yeats The tree farm movement be
gan in 1940, and the Governor of
Virginia is at present backing a tree
planting program that, is designed
to get 25 million seedlings planted
in Virginia over a five year period.
Last year 24 landowners in P mce
Edward county planted 304.000 seed
lings.
There are several reasons for the
upsurge in tree planting. Piivate
landowners have learned that tree
growing is profitable Machines
have reduced the cost of p!a .ting r
and make it much easier than the
old back-breaking hand methods.
And the availability of low-cost or
free seedlings from industry and '
government nurseries makes tree
planting attractive from a financial
standpoint.
Congratulations to FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
We are pleased to have had the privilege of installing the
executive and general office furniture for their new and
redecoroted surroundings.
