101 Winchester. Bank of Clarke County approved giving each 1956 Clarke County High and Johnson-Williams High School graduate a savings account with an opening deposit of $5. Jean Fletcher and Kitty Smallwood joined the bank in 1956. In February of 1957, Bank of Clarke County purchased the Morris building that adjoined the Bank on the east for $25,000 from the heirs of the late F. H. Morris for future bank expansion, primarily to give the bank a drive-through option. It was originally built in 1884 by a black man named Siz Dangerfield who operated a saloon for whites across the street. It was known as Winston Hall (named after Jennie Winston who gave a performance there the night the hall was opened in 1885) where ladies and gentlemen danced Cotillion, American Legion held bazaars and the county National Guard unit was housed. At one time, it was the center of the county’s social life. Winston Hall was built as a theater, complete with stage and dressing rooms. It was there that the first radio set was heard, with people gathering to hear the radio reception. But that night, the receiving set was strangely quiet and all the manipulations by Captain Rice Levi could not make it produce sound, except for the squawking of interference. There are tales of drinking outside of the building and a fire breaking out when a movie reel caught fire. Winston Hall would be demolished in 1962 and made into a parking lot. Miss Mary Webb was appointed the bank’s first internal auditor on January 16, 1958 with full authority to set up a system of internal controls. Bank of Clarke County qualified as an authorized agent of the Federal Housing Commission on July 10, 1958. At the January 8, 1959 stockholders’ meeting, Mr. Julian Glascock was elected Cashier. He joined the staff in 1929 and was assistant cashier when he left the bank in 1944, returning 10 years later. He became a director in 1944. During 1959, Director J. G. Burch helped Mrs. Edith Rodgers at the Boyce branch for $1.50 per hour. 1959 also saw the lifting of the 30-day withdrawal notice on savings accounts. Charges on returned items and overdrafts increased to 50¢ per item and a maintenance fee of $1 per year was added to dormant checking and savings accounts. Mr. McWilliams spoke to a gathering of 100 people on February 8, 1960 at a dinner given by the Berryville and Clarke County Chamber of Commerce in honor of officials of Safeway Stores, Inc. Attendees were guests of the store. Following dinner a tour of the new store was held. McWilliams spoke of the financing of the store, which was built by Dr. D. Blanton Allen. All the capital came from Clarke County. Mr. McWilliams then encouraged people to deal with Clarke County business establishments. “Shopping away from home doesn’t help any community but the one you are shopping in. Let us resolve to do our banking and business here.” Mr. Julian Glascock spoke to the Chamber of Commerce annual dinner on March 10, 1960 and stated that “if this community is to increase its income and draw people here, it must offer people advantages. Many of these things require credit. Local banks are here to offer, give advice and discuss with you business problems, especially where credit is needed.” Glascock spoke of the
