prove to be a serious one for the schools. not only in Berlin, but in other towns and cities. Local school officials stated today that the Berlin schools have not full supply of coal. The fuel has been put in the bins at the Kensington Grammar school and at the Worthington school but the bins of other schools are prac- tically empty.
 It Is not thought that an ample supply of coal will be available If the strike does not end previous to the opening of schools and in that case the local officials believe that they can burn wood in the stoves and furnaces until the real cold weather sets in and in this way keep the schools open.

 Congratulatory Letter
 Postmaster w. w. Pagan has fe- ceived the following letter from the director of the savings division of the U. S. Postal department, congratulat- ing him on the sales record he has made with treasury saving certificates,
 The letter follows:
 Dear Mir. Pagan:
 Your report of sales of treasury savings certificates for July has just reached me and it is putting it mildly to say that I am delighted with the showing you have made. Our sales for June were nearly double those of any previous month this year, but if your report is criterion of what we may expect from the entire district, our total sales in July are going to make those for June look small
 You certainly have my heartiest congratulations on your success and you also have my sincerest thanks for the personal energy which you have put into this work, for I know that this success could not have been ac- complshed without effort on your part.
 The demand for these securities is increasing very rapidly. It is evident that the patrons of your office appre- ciate the investment advantages which are being offered by the U. S. treas ury department, and that you are get ting your share of the business.
 I hope that your success will con tinue for the assistance which you are rendering is something very real and worth while.
 With best wishes, I am,
 Yours very truly.
 F. c. AIRES, ."-.
 Director, Savings Dept.
