POSTAL SAVINGS BY MAIL
Extension of Service Permits All Per
sons Now to Be Depositors

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an ac-
count in postal savings bank after
July l, according to an instructive
leahet on the Postal Savings System
Just issued by Postmaster General Burl-
eson. This important extension of the
service will be made possible by per-
hitting persons living in communities
so sparsely settled as not to justify the
designation of their local postoffices as
regular postal savings banks to open
accounts by mail.
Governor Dockery, Third Assistant
Postmaster General, who has direct
supervision of postal savings, was so
impressed by appeals from all over the
country to open postal savings accounts
by mail that he took up the task some
weeks, ago of working out feasible
and safe method for meeting the de-
mand.
Under the plan adopted by the Post
master General for opening accounts by
mail an intending depositor, residing
where there is no regularly designated
postal savings bank, will apply to his
local postmaster who will see that nee
essary identification data is prepared
and forwarded to a nearby postof1ice
authorized to accept deposits. The in
tending depositor will then be given
permission to forward his first and
subsequent deposits by money order or
registered mail direct to the postmaster
at the banking point for which re-
ceipts or certificates will be' issued. He
may withdraw all or any part of his
postal savings by mail and on demand
together with any interest that may
be due him.
The new leafet points out that any
person ten years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name; ;
that an account may be opened by a
married women free from any control
or interference by her husband; that
postoffice officials are forbidden to dis
close to any person, except the deposi-
tor, the amount of any deposits; that
Withdrawals may be made without pre-
vious notice; and that the Govern
ment guarantees to repay all deposits
on demand with accrued interest.
