BRING OUT ALL
 THE sLAckER PENNIES Two Million Are Tied Up In chiI- dren's Banks Throughout the State.

Firing out the stacker pennies: in- vest them in thrift stamps and war savings certificates" is the slogan adopted for the Connecticut War Saw lngs Committee for a movement which, it is hoped, will result in adding many thousands of dollars to Connecti- cut's allotment of s26, 6,0O0,00O in the na, tional war savings campaign. .
 Bankers have estimated that there are at least 100000 pennies tied up in children's banks throughout the state. These lie idle from one years end to another; and bear no intaerst. Bankers admit that much money is Withdrawn from circulation in the shape of pennies every year which ii diverted. into. other ehannels.s would have . decidedly beneficial effect or the finances of Connecticut.
 At the present time there is in evi- dence shortage of pennies that threatens tc result seriously urless idle eoppers are again put into circula- tion. Bankers hold that the .. 6-ceni

In Norwich fifty years ago the cit izens were having their troubles with. the ice and snow and Main street with it's ice came in for some pretty severe criticism. An explosion occur red at the Shetucket Foundry but luckily no one was seriously injured The water had frozen in the hollows of the braces of the Laurel Hill bridge and had cracked them but not enough to weaken the structure:
 Extracts from The Bulletins files of '6S follow:
 January 6, 1S6s-The following arr ticle relating to the condition of the sidewalks of fifty years ago in Nor wich was published on this date:
 Pedestrians on Main street need but one thing to complete their happi- ness. That js some arrangement whereby the sidewalks can be made more unifromly icy. A mild appliea- tion of the watering cart just at night fall might do the business; at any rate, would help out the water spouts which only half do the work now Ex- isting arrangements, whereby there are at intervals of twenty feet along Main street, beautiful reviulets by day and glassy ice belts at night, are SC admirable that everyone longs fol them. Moreover if the sidewalk was glare ice in it's whole extent there would be a cheerful certainty about il that there isn't now. We shoul6 know what to expect.
