Three Quarters of q
Million Distributed
In Club Savings

A full decade of Christmas clrb adj
ministration with the resultant dis
tribution of practically three-quarters
of a million dollars is the rather en-
yiable record of the State Trust Co.
Enrollments for 18th year Of the
Christmas Savings club are now be-
ing made and, Just as each year since
the start has shown a gain over the
preceding year, so 1923 will without
doubt show a marked increase in
the amount of savings as compared
with 1922.
The Christmas Club idea is an in
teresting one. ut has implanted the
thrift idea in the minds of many
people who might otherwise have
never laid anything aside in savings"
remarked George c. Libby, treasurer
of the company, in discussing this
subject Thursday.
"The idea that a certain sum of
money has to be laid aside each week
for fifty weeks has left its impress
sion. People have no sooner finish
ed with one year than they have been
ready to start on another Christmas
their checks just before Christmas,
they have deposited good part of
the amount called for in the savings
department of the bank. The fact
that no money can be drawn out until
the end of the fifty weeks has been
another powerful incentive toward
saving"
Ten years ago when the State
Trust Co., started the Christmas club
in Augusta the number who respond
ed was, naturally. small. Since then
both the number Of people taking
membership and the amount of money
paid each year has grown. The money
just distributed for 1922 totalled
$114,000, the largest for any one year.
Checks were sent to approximately
2400 people in all parts OF Kennebec
county. None of the subscribers re-
ceived more than $3.50 with interest,
for IS a week is the maximum that
any one person may deposit. From
this the amounts range away. down,
80 that there is always a convenient
figure for every purse.

QUARRY WORKERS REPORT.
That Stone Shipped from Bsrre Hill
Was Taken from Random Piles.

4
To the Editor Of the Barre Times;
We believe that the facts should be
given concerning the present situa
tion as Il now stands on the hill.
A statement has been made through
your paper that the production of
Barre granite is gradually getting oack
to normal Now, the fact is. there
hasn't been ono stone sent from these
quarries running under the so-called
American plan but what had been
quarried by the former workmen. Ev-
cry stone that has been shipped from
the Wetmore 4 Morse Co. and the
Boutwell,. Milne & Narnum Co. mas
been taken from random piles around
the different yards, and sall this stone
was qusrried by union men before
Jan. 1, 1922.
Some people have been informed by
paper other than The Times that
these new men were all skilled work
men and many of them better than
their predecessors. Now, We would
like to state these new men are not
skilled quarrymen and many Of them
never saw quarry before coming here.
II can be seen from these facts tnat
production Of Barre granite is far from
being normal
Things are very quiet here at pres
ent. A few new men came in and
started work but there have been sew
cral that left soon after coming, aft
er finding out the conditions just as
they stand.
