BETTY BANKS An Appreciation It is a very beautiful gesture for one’s home town to be proud of what a person living in its midst can ac complish. Marion Talley from her home in Ohio, Mary Lewis from the little mountain spot in Tennessee, a man like Lindbergh, and to many an other hero or heroine, friends turn out to do honor. This was perhaps the feeling that prompted the home-com ing of Betty Banks, back from tri umphs that meant go much to a high school girl who has passed those older than she, and who themselves pos sessed so much talent. It was an in spiring sight to view the hundreds of school children, thf teachers, the su perintendent, come down to meet Miss Banks as she stepped off the train with her honors worn smilingly about her. On April 6th Miss Banks entered the Junior Contest in piano at the South Carolina Federation of Music Clubs’ Convention in Greenville. At the end of the contest it was found that she had tied for first Helen Wall, of Chester. To play the tie off, the national organization required the playing of a Bach Fugue and Prelude, compositions Miss Wall could not give as she had not seen the ruling. Upon playing the same numbers again, Miss Wall won with an average of one polnlt 6Ver Mrsg Banks. However, Mrs. Cora Cox Lucas, District Presi dent and one of the judges, asked per- H.

Come in and Be Convinced. PROSPERITY Many communities are waiting for big things that would increase their local prosperity, invite new people and new industries and promote a sound development of natural resources. We must not lose sight of the inevitable fact that industries and people locate in certain communities solely because conditions there seem to promise greater success, not because they can outdaim their neighbor. No town can hope to be moie prosperous than the territory for which it is the trading center. In our country business in the town depends upon conditions on the farm! Factories come only to sections capable of support ing them. We must make the most of our soil, climate and natural advantages if we are to have the population and the wealth which make factories follow the plow. South Carolina Power Company M. B.

Phone 25 Allendale and Barnwell miMion to rhangv her ing that parliamentary laws must go down before rational nilings.^nd *aki that the tie must be played off in Co lumbia with the Bach number re quired. Upon this decision, Mias Wall withdrew and Miss Banks was an nounced winner, going to Decatur, Ga. ( to enter the South Atlantic Dis trict Contest. ^ At Decatur, Betty Banks won first place. Her three opponents were a pupil of Dorsey Whittington, consid ered one ol the great teachers of the South; a pupil who is a sophomore at Shorter Co’lege in Rome, Ga., an in stitution that is an accredited A-l college; and a young man who is a freshman at a North Carolina Col lege. It can thus be readily seen that it must have been a hard fought bat tle and too much credit cannot be given to Betty Banks and her teach er, Mrs. Ira Fales, of Barnwell. At Hartsville, against 19 other con testants, Miss Banks again took first place in the Coker College contests, winning thereby a scholarship to that college for one year. Barnwell indeed should be proud of this young girl who has come out so far ahead of what the usual student of the piano can do. Our well wishes will always follow her. v Mrs. Solomon Blatt. MRS.
