We are asked to conserve
energy. Somehow it is dif
ficult to do, as we gradually
add more labor-saving
motors in our homes and
bams. Why scrub clothes
when a washing machine
will do the job and why
sweep carpets when an
electric sweeper does a
better job? Even the farmer

elevator to lift those heavy
bales of hay.
If perchance all the motors
humming and buzzing should

Fulton Bank now has the best kind of
checking—free! And when we say free,
that's exactly what we mean. Regardless
of the balance in your personal account,
there's no service charge. You write as
many checks as you want.
You don’t have to keep a specified
amount in your savings account either to
get Fulton’s free checking.
Nor do you have to join one of those
bank plans (which charge up to $36.00
a year) to get Fulton's free checking.
At Fulton Bank all personal checking
accounts are free . . . period. That goes
for present customers as well as new
ones.
If you’re banking somewhere else, visit
a nearby Fulton office and open your
free checking account. Think of the
money you’ll save.
If you bank-by-mail, Fulton pays the
postage both ways.

This spring our third child
will graduate from college.
It is difficult to realize that
he is a senior at Penn State.
As Jobs arc not easy to find in
a particular field, he will
probably do graduate work
in agronomy and bio
chemistry.
Our oldest daughter is
taking courses at the
University of Washington in
Seattle even though she has
several degrees already. She
tells me she has the “.lear
ning bug” and it is due to all
the books we have in our
home and the fact that we
always took tune to read to
her when she was little.
