Dear Mr.. Banks,

Dear Mr.. Banks,
wish to express my appre-
citation and thanks to you for the
scholarship of ($25) twenty five
dollars which you presented to
one of our graduates. | speak
also for the staff and for the re-
cipient of the scholarship award.
This money should enable this
young man to pay most of his ex-
penses during the next school
year at a high school of
his choice.
We must not forget that the fu-
ture of our nation and race rests
in the hands of our youth. 1t is
C ommendable when public

help deserving boys and girls.
Yours truly,

Building Off To
Good Start, But
March Is Slow

The first quarter of 1862 got the
year off to a roaring start des-
pite a poor showing from the
month of March. The first quart
er exceeds almost every first
quarter for the past ten years,
with the notable exception Of 1859,
which ended up as the record
building year in the county's his
tory.
The first quarter shows starts
of $182, al in construction. March
contributed only three permits
to this for a total value Of $4,000.
March is not a big month ac-
cording to past records. but the
three small permits this year are
below par for even a slow month.
Two Of the permits were issued
in the town, going to W. A. Price
Company for a frame dwelling
on Longwood Avenue, and to Mil
ton Booth for a brick garage at
4l4 Putney Street. The single
county permit was issued to
Mrs. Kathryn Scott. of Rt. 1,
Meherrin. Hampden district, for
a barn and packhouse.
An excellent January and
February record more than com
pensates for March. In January
II permits were issued for a
booming $lO1,041, while Febru-
airy added nine permits for
$72, 500. OF the q permits issued
