THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF STRASBURG
Automatic Transfer
Another Friendly First Service
• Your savings earn interest till you need it.
• Helps keep your checking from being overdrawn.
With the First National Bank of Strasburg’s new Automatic Transfer
Plan, you avoid the hassles . . . and embarrassment ... of overdrawing
your checking account while at the same time earning interest on
money available for checking.
It’s simple: you keep as much money as you wish in your Friendly
First Checking and Statement Savings accounts. Then, if you write
out more money than you have in Checking, we transfer the amount
of the overdraft from Statement Savings automatically. You don’t even
need to phone us.
Naturally, monthly statements are part of the package. And remember:
until it’s transferred to Checking, your money in Statement Savings earns
5% interest compounded daily.
The Automatic Transfer Plan puts money at your fingertips when
you need to spend it, earns you interest when you don’t. The Friendly
First has it now, with only nominal charge AND WE STILL HAVE
NO-SERVICE-CHARGE CHECKING ACCOUNTS!
Lancaster County's Oldest National Bank
Sheep meeting
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Sheep production appears to
he on the upswing in
Maryland after a steady
decline smce 1970. But the
national sheep count is still
in the throes of a steady 35-
year decline.
Two reasons for the op
timism in Maryland and
other Mid-Atlantic states are
greatly improved prices for
market animals and a big
step forward in the endless
battle against marauding
dogs, which has plagued
small-flock owners m the
East since Colonial times.
The defensive war agamst
dogs is being won with in
creased sophistication m
electric-fencing techniques,
reports Dr. Emory C. Leffel,
professor of animal science
and Extension sheep
production specialist at the
University of Maryland in
College Park.
Because of the more op
timistic outlook, Cooperative
Extension Service
specialists in Maryland and
Delaware have decided to
sponsor an all-day
educational meeting on
November 18 for sheep
NWf
producers and prospective
sheep producers
throughout the Delmarva
area.
The Saturday event will be
held at the Caroline county 4-
H and Youth Park near
Williston, at the midpoint of
Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
