OFFER CASH PRIZES
 TO MAIL CARRIERS
Local and State Committees lnaugu-
 rate Contests in Interest of Thrift Stamp Movement.


 There has been a noticeable in crease in demand of war saving cer- tificates and thrift stamps at the To- cal post office the past week. It has come to the notice of Postmaster John F. Murphy that many people con- sidered this movement WIS exclusive iy for children in order to educate them to the habit of saving. While 1t may accomplish that purpose, in these trying times the government cannot devote time to the promotion of hab- It's for the individual alone.
 The project is that the government desires to borrow two billions of dol lars. The government Is pleased to accept loans in the sum of twenty i've cents or upwards and will pay interest on these loans and will also pay the loans back with interest o1 demand by the lender.
 During the coming week Postuast- CT Murphy will have delivered to each house in the city a printed circular carrying full information in regard to the loan plan. After reading these circulars all will thoroughly un- derstand their obligations to the gov ernment.
 The state committee having the campaign in charge has offered 8 prize of one hundred dollars to the city | mail carrier who sells the largest amount of stamps during the year. A | similar prize will be given to tine ru- | raT carrier who disposes of the great | est number. This contest is open to all carriers in the state.
 l D. o. Rodier, chairman of the local committee, has offered a prize 10 the city carrier of the Norwich post office 1 who sells the largest amount from February 1st to July 1st. The car l riers have supply of stamps at al l times and are ready to take orders 1 If anyone should desire to buy { | number of stamps on any particula, l day each week, an order may be giveH to carrier on the route and the car rier will deliver the stamps at that address each week whether or not he
 has mail for the house or office. 1 Although it is too early to report complete figures regarding the inten. ] sive drive conducted in the schools o1 Connecticut during the past few week. | for the sale of thrift stamps and wal savings certificates, it is anticipated at the state directors office that wher the complete returns are in they vii
 show the children of this state hav'
 done their full share in the war say ings campaign.
 Weather conditions in many parts 0 the state have made the task of tn workers in the schools much mod
 difficult, especially in the rural dis
 tricts. Everywhere the war saving stamp is proving popular with the ol. and young alike. Many boys and girl
 who heretofore have rN.e no at
 tempts> to save are now inspired wit
 the spirit of thrift, and altogethe more than 100000 school children ii
 Connecticut. are buying the stamp
 regularly. At the present time An sonia is leading in the campaign, wit
 S9 per cent. of it's school children pur
 chasing the stamps every week.,
