TUESDAY WILL
 BE RUSH DAY AT LOCAL BANKS

Tuesday, Jan, 2, will be the busiest 1 day of the year in the banks of Bridgeport Especially will this be true of the Savings Banks Trust companies, and the banks that have any considerable amount of savings accounts and loans> In midsummer hthere is q similar rush, but even that does not approach the onslaught of
 customers that is expected at (the banks, Tuesday.
 The fact that the banks close at
 noon, Saturdays, and will be closed Ao&h Sunday and Monday, is expected n add to the long lines before the saany windows, Tuesday, We could tenjey our vacation better after the
 rush if such thing were possible stated one F'old timer this morning. ! II am going to enjoy myself tonfght i and tomorrow and go into training Monday, for Tuesday,
 There are several distinct reasons !. for the fact that most savings bank clerks win leave home in a rush, Tuesday morning. not to return until well into the evening, They will not teven go out for lunch at some of the larger institutions, However, they will dine i,,st the same, for caterers will bring In banouets to be eaten on the ilstsiinent plan
 This has for years been the custom, and each clerk, never but one or two first sign of 8 Iull after II o'clock and disappear into the rest room for lunch, while the others will keep the : lines moving, hoping that the first served win have a heart and not eat all of tho devi'ed eggs and chocolate cake,
 Though most of the banks now make D. custom of entering and pay inS interest savings deposits SeV- eral days ahead Cf the first, there are thousands of dGpositOrs who do nor know il. TheTs are many who al ways drew tht interest the first bank r,F hN a = CTS wi2c do IYat draw but seem deter rai.ed :o have their book wri Ien up to date OF the first day There are still others WhC have immediate use for their savings deposits and wal until the first, i. order not to lose the int tere>t
 A. the rece.ylnE windows there are c.t1t.r-s yho have just as good reasons fu- Ee5a-: 0n hand on this particular 17r5tabl% those who have lnde- I, .frG..T- !lnC sI-e;S and have checks to deposit, coupons to clip, and monthly ssaiary yo.- ;>.,alt-:! bonus money 10 de-
 The clerks in charge of inzerest on loany6 also have a busy time. Though srvxraI days of grace is allowed. the b,.iIl of those who have loans will try tn5 pay tHe interest, and possibly sSSrae of the prinipa,l, at the first op- for.unjty- This will be on Tuesday.
 Therefore, just about the buSlest $places in Bridgeport Tuesday will he 4he Savings Banks. The attendants will have their hands full keeping the folks in line. There will be an nual salutationS, worried CusgOEr4Ers kyho are in a hurry, and the average
 rop of those who don't understand
 lis or that and who think someone is always trying to cheaa them The talkatdve person who thinks the first day of the year is a reunion will be
 on hand. So will the type, who in hundreds of customers believe all the clerks remember their names because they were in a year ago. Oh yes. The children will be in line. Some of them will have about S1b in bulk. mostly ipeunies. The clerks just love to have their turn in the line come when one. of these young -%OpefuIs reaches the counter.
 Next Tuesday is the one time iu the year when it is dangerous to tell a bank clerk what @ soft job he has. Happy New Yetr.
