Rev. Walter McClesky & Rev. Bill Adams
In order to provide better service
and greater convenience to the
people of the Fort Valley area,
Perry Federal Savings and Loan
Association is planning to open an
office in Fort Valley. It was an
nounced this week by S. A. Nunn,
President of the thrift and home
financing institution that the asso
ciation directors are planning this
office, pending approval^ by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
in Washington.
Perry Federal has enjoyed much
growth during its 25 year history
and it was felt that the location
of an office in Fort Valley was
another step in providing service
and convenience that the people of
Fort Valley are entitled to. The
continued growth and development
of Fort Valley and the surrounding
area indicates a need for the office
and a useful place for such an
office to fill in the future develop
ment of the Fort Valley area.
To aid in the initial planning
and programming of the office in
Fort Valley, several men of the The governor dipped agar ninto

membership on a Board of Advi-| dates to select Howell. They were
