TO REPORT ROADS.
Members of Automobile Assn"iation Asked to Keep Track of Their
 S sa Condition

The Connecticut Automobile club in a communication sent to each mem Der, asks that reports of the condi- tion of roads in all the towns they pass through on their tours, be given to the club secretary. In this way the club hopes to keep in touch not only with the actual condition of roads for information purposes, but. will also be in a position to call the attention of the town and state authorities to roads which are in poor condition
 Another matter which the motor ists are asked to report is the mark. ing of roads with signs. Although there is a. state law which requires the towns to mark the cross roads the automobile association have been doing the work. It is now proposed that the work be done thoroughly through the cooperation of the town authorities and the automobilists.

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why
Because it wishes to encourage
the children to be frugal and to have
a little bank account of their own,
even though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an
account on penny, nickel or a
dime, often grow into capitalists
later on.
The way to become capitalist is
to commence now to save the
pennies.
