POsTOFFICE WORKING TO
SELL TREASURY CERTIFICATES

Postmaster John P Murphy and the
employees of the Norwich post office are
lnaugurating a campaign for the in
creased sale of United States Treasury
certificates. These mature in five years
from date of purchase and bear interest
at the rate of AZ per cent. They are
sold in denominations of $40. $50, and
$500 with maturity values of $25, 500
and $1,000 respectively.
In order that the patrons may real-'
lze the necessity of cooperating in the
movement, literature is being distributed
that gives full particulars as to the in
Vestment value of the treasury certif-
Gates and why the government REQUIRES
the funds from such sales.
The Norwich post office sold during
the year 1918 War Saving Stamps to
the amount of $2S9.940. There were also
sold 46,77S Thrift Stamps, amounting to
$ll,697. number of these stamps have
been cashed at the post office since then
the holders receiving the purchase price
with interest added to the time of pay
ment. There are registration cards in
the office for nearly 100000 and all
will be presented for payment next jan
uary. The postmaster's plan is that if
the office could dispose of 500. 900 of
the treasury certificates during the re-
manner OF this year, he has no doubt
but what an equal amount will be ex-
changed from the proceeds of the War
Savings Stamps in January for Treasury
Certificates as those who have ht\,l them
will fully realize the many advantages
! of investing in government securities.
Our government is most DESTROYS for
its people to acquire the habit of thrift

of commentator for the sale Of treasury

force in May;
Mr.. John P. Murphy, Postmaster.

z Dear Mr.. Murphy: Your report of sales
of Treasury Savings Certificates for the
month of May, showing total of $4,52o.
is received. and I am more than glad
to be able TO congratulate you on the
success of your efforts. With very few
exceptions your reports have indicated
more and more strongly each month the
fact that the patrons Of your office are
becoming aware of the investment ad-
vantages offered by the United States
government and are approaching the
safety and income which may be de-
rived from these securities.
The sales of your office are beginning
to show a very impressive amount of fin
ancial assistance for the government, and
If the fifty odd thousand post offices OF
the country would make as good a show
ing as you do each month, the entire
maturity obligation of the 1918 War
Savings Stamps would ca silly be financed
with large amount left over TO apply
against the redemption of the Victory
bonds which are due next May.
I hope that each month may show ad
ditional evidence OF the cooperation Of
your patrons.
If there is anything I can do to be Of
| assistance please let me know.
Yours very truly.

Of the best possible investments city
can make, for, in its essence, the work
of a recreational center is primarily
an educational undertaking. The school
building should be at a safe distance
from noisy factories and off the main
Better a good walk to
school than that building should be on
car line or a main automobile street.
The building, too, should be oriented,
SO that as many of the class rooms as
possible shall command the east and

in eye strain.

section on Silent Reading" which
seems to be superseding the Project in

for naturalization and assist them in
