congressman elected to repre-
sent the district no matter

these people." Poage said he ex-'
pects to live out his years nt
liis home in Waco and keep in
touch with his friends in the
surrounding communities of
Temple Cameron Glen Rose
and Brownwood among others.
Poage w.ent on to say his fa-
mily was always an inspiration
to hin). "My father was an old-
time cowman. My mother was
a frontier homemaker" ho
said. Poage said he and his wife
regret they have no children of
their own "but we have tried to
do for our district what we
might have done for our own
family."
Poage said he delayed in
making his announcement to
retire to avoid becoming a
"Lame Duck" representative
too early in his term. Such an
announcement vijry directly
reduces a representative's In-
fluence in Washington" he
said.
Poage 77 said he felt the
11th district could best be ser-
ved with a new face. "I havo no
desire to try tc( select my suc-
cessor" Tie said. He said he
would vote for the best quali-
fied candidate and work with
whoever the people select to
Test represent them.
Poage said during his re-
maining 15 months in Congress
Tie has a. few projects he would
like to finiBh.
One is building a .parkway
through Central Texas from
Gr.anbury to Bjankoj A road
that wouldn't go through any

reached another milestone in
its continued growth and de-
velopment. On that date total
bank deposits were more than
seven and ono quarter million
dollars and total 'assists' wore
more than eight million dol-
lars.' Exact figures on the above
date were total deposits $7230-
500.95 and total. assets 8001
4U4. 57. These figures repre
sent an Increase of Approxima-
tely one million dollars over
the figures of one year ago.
This increase represents a
strong steady growth and not a
growth caused by -speculative
financing or risky investments.
It also points to the continued
confidence that our customers
have placed in us reports the
officers of the bank. The offi-
cers directors and staff of'
First Bank & Trust Co. aro very
appreciative of this confidence
renlizing that it takes both good
customers and a good staff to
bring about the growth that
First Bank & Trust Co. has en-
joyed over this past year.
The officers directors and
employees celebrated the occa-
sion of this record growth with
a dinner at the Stagecoach Inn
