GREAT GROWTH OE POSTAL SAVINGS
Norwich Office Has $63 24o on Hand to Credit of Deposit ors-374 Accounts Now Open-1O5 New Accounts Since July 1st-Crculars Giving Rules and Regulations Printed in Eight Languages.

In union with the remarkable growth I which the postal savings system en- joys in this country the present day 1t will interest our readers to know how the Norwich post-office stands in this respect. The system was first ordered here on instructions from the department on Thursday, Sept. 2S, 1911. At the close of business on Wednesday evening" Oct. 18th, Post master William Caruthers found that the accounts now opened numbered 374, with savings to the amount Of 63. 240- Since July 1. 1914, 105 new ac- counts have been opened, rating at the average of 35 per month, which would seem to indicate that the public are becoming more enlightened as to this branch of saving money over which Uncle Sam has made such a huge Suc- cess. That the people of foreign birth may understand and enjoy the system the government has seen fit to print rules and regulations governing the same in eight different languages, viz; Italian, French, Polish. German, Dan ish, Norwegian, Greek, Swedish and Hungarian (Magyar). Deposits can be made or withdrawn by mail. less the money- order fee for withdEawals.
 The postal savings department ap- peals specially to the school children, many of whom are now listed as de- positors. Children having attained their 10th year many open an account in their name free from any incum- l brance on the part of parents and for those under ten years of age savings stamps and cards are sold which can
 be redeemed after they have passed the age limit. Once depositor opens an account his representative can bank or withdraw for them by placing an order on file to this effect.
 The Norwich office serves as a, de- l pository office for the funds accumu-
 lated at the Jewett City, Taftyille, Bal
 tic and Willimantic offices. The strict l est confidence is placed on all clerks having charge of this department and
 no one is permitted to divulge any in formation, except to the depositors themselves, as applying to their owI accounts. The rate of interest is per cent per annum and $500 is the limitation for a yearly deposit, wh1cf
 can be turned in for a government bono
 which pays 1-2 per cent per annun
 and another start made for new l yearly limit. The hours at the loca
 office for banking deposits and with
 drawals, are from a. m. to ' p. m
 The evening hour is found to be yer!
