First National Now Has Two Branch Offices
Drive-In Window
Is First For
Farmyille Area

Rejecting the progressive ma
ture Of the First National Bank
Of Farmville and their genuine
desire to serve this area of Vr-
ginia. is the establishment Of
two branch offices of the First
National in 1868.
First National opened its first
branch bank in the Farmville
Shopping Center Tuesday, jan
uary p, 1868. Less than eight
months later First National
opened its branch bank at Pamp-
Lin City. This was August 6,
1868.
First National provided the
Farmville area with its only
drive-in banking window, with
the opening of the branch in the
Farmville Shopping Center. E.
Waller Sanford. executive vice
president Of First National. re-
ports business has been brisk at
the drivein window and patrons
appreciate this added service on
the part of the bank.
The branch bank at Pamplin
City eliminated a three year old
project of the Pamplin Ruritan
Club. which was fostered by the
Pamplin mayor, town council
and other civic groups to have
a banking house in that COM
munity. The Pamplin City
branch offers complete banking
facilities. including night deposi-
tory and other features that
make it full service bank.
Both branch Offices are styled
In tasteful decor, similar to the
man office, and all are ali con
dtioned.
The First National Bank has
over half a century record Of
service to the Farmville area.
Il opened for business January
10. 1901, with N. B. Davidson

cashier. and w. P. Gillia m,

Capital Growth
Beginning with capital stock
OF $4,000. increases have been
made through the years. The
capital stock today is Sl5O.0OO
with surplus undivided profits
and reserves totaling over S697,-
600. The resources Of the bank
stood at S., 754 DAT at the end Of
1856 and as of June %, 1868 had
grown to over ten million dol
lars, for the first time in the
history Of this progressive bank.
The present bank building was
completely remodeled in 1856,
the third remodeling OF First Ma
tional Bank at its busy location
on the corner of Third and Man
streets in downtown Farmvllle.
The exterior Of building, 54xS3
feet is of cream brick, trimmed
in blue pearl Granox Marble,
with an overhanging marquee at
the entrance. The building dom
mates the northeast corner Of
Third and Main as it fairs back
along both streets, with trem-
endous glass windows and doors.
The spaciousnesS of the inside
is achieved and accentuated by
the absence of columns in the
50x52 banking area.

To He'll Is Out
OF New PsaIter

LONDON, April 6 (AP). "A
Church Of England commission
has just issued a revision of
the Psalter, the part Of the
church's Book of Common
Prayer containing the $50
psalms, and missing in the new
version are the mentions of
hell.
Instead of the wicked being
turned into hell, the new ver-
sion says: THE wicked shall
be given over unto the grave"
Elsewhere hell becomes of "the
pit" "the sepulchre" or "the
power of DEATH"
DR.. Frederick Coggan, Arch
bishop of York and chairman
Of the commission, said the
revision was not aimed at a
new translation but at an "in-
visible mending" Of the old one.
During five years Of work, the
archbishop said, the commits
sion was also prompted toward
fresh interpretations by ad-
vances in comparative Semitic
philology.
The changes brought a COM
plant from the Daily Tele-
graph. The conservative news
paper conceded that the
Jacobean translators may have
been obscure in places, but
they Illuminated many shad-
owy passages Of the original
with their poetic faith"
The new translation, the
newspaper contended, repre-
sents a theological as we'll as q
stylistic revision on the $50
year-old translation "for 1t is
clear that the psalmist believed
in hell"
The psalmist was David, king
Of the Jews. The Jewish reli-
gion does not teach the exist
ence Of hell, and Jewish theo-
logians are divided even on
the issue Of a life after death.
Nowhere in the Old Testament
can there be found a concep-
tion Of hell as a place Of suf-
fering for sin, a Christian con-
ception.
The new Psalter must be ap-
proved by the Episcopal convo-
cations Of Canterbury and
York, and then by the British
parliament.
1t may face opposition of the
same type that greeted the
modern translation of the New
Testament last year. Generally
hailed as more accurate than
the King James version, it was
criticized as lacking the sonori-
ties of Jacobean language.
The new Psalter breaks with
tradition in well-known
phrases. "The valley of the
shadow Of death" would be re-
placed by "the darkest valley"
Let my right hand forget her
cunning" would be changed to
"let my right hand be withered
away"

THIS VIGOROUS FRENCH

THIS VIGOROUS FRENCH

He explained that he was

read that the French used
them in duck hunting. I
asked him if I could witness
this. Caledonia was perfectly
willing to turn back to the
ocean.
The tide was flowing to
the morning high. The surf
was gentle. The breakers
were about two feet high.
Mr.. Marren let his dog bite
and worry a small piece Of
driftwood. Then he threw 1t
out into the ocean.
The well-groomed CHINA
mon poodle dashed after it
with admirable spirit, then
a breaker slapped his hirSute
muzzle.
Bewildered, he turned back,
defeated.
Mr.. Marren had another
stick and tried again. Again
the poodle was turned back
by the waves.

He had courage, but he had
not been conditioned.

Those lunches, to be sold for

The
Rambler
Fails to
Overcome Lethurgy
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

REHoBoTH BEACH, Del.
Here I am, happy as a bee
in clover, fighting off vaca-
ton lazinesS.
This is not a vacation. 1t
is a week end.
True I arrived on Friday
and now it's Wednesday.
My stay will have to be
brief.
Others are vacationing.
I must make the most of
every day.
There was a time, and that
not many years ago, when
I would plunge into the surf
before breakfast.
The sun would be just
appearing above the watery
horizon. often the ocean was
calm and a mist was rising.
Always the surf fisherman.
Those devoted fans of the
fun Of casting would arrive
in the pre-dawn darkness.
I have never seen a surf
fisherman catch anything
and / have never seen one
go for a swim.
OF late I have waived the
pre-prandial dip. No life
guard to haul me out.
But I do walk to the East
ern marge of our continent
in time to see the sun
come up.
A long-haired gray and
white terrier named Caledo-
mia, a nice little dog, accom-
panied me this morning.
He appreciates someone
getting up early and letting
him out.
We all know dogs have poor
eyesight-depend on their
sense of smell.
But this morning on our
way back, Caledonia spotted
a dog coming to the beach.
The dog was 500 feet away
and the breeze was off the
ocean.
Caledonia bristled and
pointed but did not bark.
The other dog was a stand
ard French poodle, cinnamon
in color and recently bar
bered.
