CLASSIFIED nice weekend...
At National Central Bank,
we still make house calls.
One of the biggest advantages
National Central can offer you is
personal service—local contact
through local offices.
We have 54 offices throughout
Southcentral Pennsylvania farm
areas. So there’s one close to you.
You probably know your local
National Central manager. He's a
neighbor, a friend. And when you
need his help, he’s willing to come
to you. If it’s more convenient,

he’ll come out to your house, sit
down, and work right along with
you to take care of any problems
or questions you may have.
He knows his business, he under
stands farming, and he’s backed
up by a seasoned agri-finance
department. So when you have a
question about banking, just call
your friend at National Central
Bank. He still makes house calls.

I've discovered a new game--pothoie dodging,
It seems that every time the “trusty musty" and
I take to the roads there appears before us an
endless trail of those sinister inverted bumps just
waiting to get us. All those back country roads
have them, they have grown faster over the
Winter season than weeds sprout in the Summer.
I am fast becoming an expert at zigzagging back
and forth across the macadem looking for spots
longer than three feet without the dreaded pits
that wait patiently for my tires.
Part of the problem is that I am usually driving
five miles too fast for I’m about five minutes late
for whereever I want to be. This makes quick
reflexes and good eyesight an absolute must to win
the game of “miss the potholes.” Unfortunately for

me, I sometimes get blinded by the sun, and any of
my friends will happily inform you that my reflexes
are not known for their speedy response.
Score is kept on the game. For every pothole you
miss, you get one point For every one you crash
through, the road scores a point. Any pothole that
you have to go off the road and onto the shoulder
for doesn’t count. That’s cheating.
An alert player has to watch for suspicious
looking puddles Some of these “wet spots” may
be 18 feet deep Also he should be prepared for
booby traps around blind corners These are spots
where the road can score many points
If a pothole swallows your car and you come to a
jarring halt, you automatically forfeit the game
(and your car!) Don’t be a poor loser. Get out and
start hiking.

On the whole, he is pleased
with his new buildings and
system, and offers a word of
advice to other farmers.

have some idea what you
wanted.” he reflects. He
does note, however, that it
is difficult to plan ahead
because if -the farmer
doesn’t keep up with current
trends, he won’t have the
latest, up-to-date system.
“But, that feeling sure was
shaky. We think we made the
right decisions now. We’re in
debt a little more, but we
think it turned out all right,”
he concludes optimistically.
