In bringing over the herds from

paper that Maine is the only State
in the United States that does not
give reciprocal rights 10 all motor
vehicles from other states, Captain
Harold a. Miller, chief of the Maine
division for the enforcement of mo-
tor vehicle laws. declared Saturday
that Massachusetts has no cause to
complain because that state itself
does not grant reciprocity on motor
trucks.
On entering Massachusetts, Maine
drivers of motor trucks must at once
secure their registrations, and must
secure them in person contrary to
the method In Name under which
the number plates are secured
through the assistance of the high
way police. Furthermore. Maine
truck drivers going into MassaChu-
sets must take out full years
registration, while in Maine five or
ten days registration are permitted.
Captain Biller called attention TO
the fact that the Maine law on
truck registration has been in effect
three years, so that the Massachu-
sets authorities and truck drivers
should become accustomed to it.
Reference was also made by Capt.
Miller to the charge made by one
Massachusetts truck owner to Mr.
Goodwin's department that he wait
cd in line with numerous other cars
from IL A. NJ. until 8 +. NJ. Satur-
day, May =, when they were told
that they could not get their license

that he was in 1<ittery on that oc-
casion, that the truck drivers max

ceived their plates that afternoon.
that the applications received in the
afternoon were filled that evening,

National Convention In Maine
Regarding methods OF advertising,
Mr.. Sylvester made very important
suggestion, urging that the Maine Saw
tngs Banks Association consider the
proposition Of inviting the National As
sociation Of Savings Banks TO hold its
annual convention in June, 1925, either
at Portland or Poland Spring, and that
the Maine association send a large dele
cation to the next meeting of the ma
tional association, to be held in New
York City in June Of this year. when
the invitation could be extended.
Mr.. Sylvester described the system
OF organization employed In Massachu-
sets, where in addition to the state
association Of mutual savings banks
there are two other important associa-
lions, a club for the officials OF the
sevings banks and a club for the wom-
en- employed in these banks. These
clubs are formed with the idea OF
working up the savings bank spirit
throughout the state. The speaker
suggested that a similar plan be adopt
ed by the Maine association, that the
association be divided into groups OF
small numbers who can meet frequent
~ and increase the savings banks In
fuence by taking part in the communi-
~ life.
Suggestion was made by the speak
CT that the savings banks bring their
service to the notice of the public by
a publicity campaign and he spoke of
the comparative value Of the various
forms Of publicity. And in conclusion
he told the assembled bankers of the
cost which the carrying out Of this
plan would involve.
The Massachusetts, Association Of
Savings Banks has had a wonderful
growth during the past three years
since the executive manager scheme
was adopted, and now has a member
ship OF 1876 banks with total deposits
OF $l43o. 900, 900 and three million de-
