Local S&L Has
Best Growth
Year Says Kerr

The best growth year in the
57-year history Of the company
was reported by East Cleve-
land Savings & Loan Co. This
IN spite of vigorous competi-
tion for personal savings plus
a tight" mortgage money
market in 1857.
In the company's year END
statement, Robert c. Knox,
executive vice president, an
nounced an increase in assets
of 20.8ee with assets at the
all time high Of s16,238.O72.s5.
Savings showed a like increase
with the figure reaching a peak
of s14,294,2 ,265.54 at year end.
Knox also reported dividend
payments to Gust TONER
amounted to s38s, ,287.33 during
the year which represented a
1850 increase over 1856. Fl
nanclal reserves, a measure OF
the strength of a savings insti-
tuition, total s1.167.131.42.
An interesting side-light 10
East Cleveland Savings year
end statement, was Knox's an
nouncement that savings at
the company's new Hillcrest
Office exceeded s1.4 million
The office was opened in July
and operated only the last six
months Of 1857.
Looking ahead to 1858. Knox
pointed out that although mort
gage money would remain rels
lively tight. a decline in the
demand for home loans would
undoubtedly tend to reduce the
prime interest rate charged for
home mortgage money. Like
wise, general business and
economic conditions appear
favorable for savings and Knox
forsees an even greater IL
crease in the company's share
Of ever growing personal saw
ings.

fic arrests over last weekend,
when Old Man Winter really

display of Old Glory. His sug-

~sime to show the world that

full to God for the privilege OF
living on these UNITED States

one way to exemplify this be-
lief.

MANY OBSTACLES
STILL CONFRO NTlNG
KILL DEVIL HILLS
Supporters OF Charter Win by II
Votes; Ants Still in Control

While the town charter of Kill
Devil Hills was retained Saturday
by majority of IL votes, there is
a long road to go before smooth
sailing is in sight. There were 119
votes cast, IS of them for the
town. Of the qualified voters, 97.6
per cent went to the polls.
With sentiment so nearly evenly
divided, Kill Devil Hills future is
going to depend a lot on the pa
tience, tact and good nature of
those on both sides. There will be
little for the winners to crow
about. 1t was. a close election. 1t
will be up to both sides to try to
remedy such evils as may have
given rise to the bitter dissatisfac-
ton which arose.
Mayor Robert Young did a great
deal of work in the campaign to
retain the town charter. He went
into the job more or less uniform
ed about the town, yet the material
he prepared in support of the town
showed that he had given a lot of
time to the necessary research, and
this experience should make him a
more able occupant of the Mayors
office. His work is more signifi-
cant when it is recalled that three
of the town hoard ware
against his position. They strove
to abolish the municipality, and
they are still the towns officers.
If Kill Devil Hills succeeds as a
town, it is now going to take a
lot of patience and cooperation
need brag about anything.
The election however indicates that
a few more people have come to
realize that the town charter can

FIRE TAKES AWAY
RODANTHE'S BIG
HOME THURSDAY
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Lose j. A,
Midget Home and All
Belongings

Most every community has a
bigger house than the others to
dominate its skyline. For As years
the biggest house at Rodanthe,
seen from across the water or up
and down the beaches has been the
home of the late Capt. John Allen
Midget. 1t is no more. It was
swept away quickly late Thursday
afternoon in a wind-driven blaze of
unknown origin which also destroy
ed the adjacent former postoffice
building.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Herbert, who
owned the house had been called
to the old Chicamacomico, Coast
Guard station to answer a phone
call from a relative in Norfolk. 1t
was at this station where Mrs.
Herbert's father, Capt. Johnny
spent a large part of his distin-
guished career, and where he serv-
ed at the time of his untimely
death. This station is occupied as
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Verde Watson.
Mrs. Watson looked out and saw
a huge blaze in the Herbert home
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert rushed
across to it. Frantically Mrs. Her.
bert tried to go upstairs to save
some treasured items. Mr.. Herbert
with great effort and personal risk
got her out of the house in time
to save her. The house, all their
belongings were a total loss. They
saved only what clothes they were
