Christmas club savings checks. ace cording to q survey conducted an- nually by the Connecticut Cham Der Of Commerce in cooperation with all the savings banks. trust companies and national banks of the state.
 Compared with the revised total of disbursements for 1880, this shows an average decline of but 6.8 per cent in value and of 3.76 per cent in the number of club mem- bers. New London was tho only county to show an increase in 1881, It's total being 3.D per cent more this year than in 1930. On Q per family basics this years total rep- resents an average of sl7.S4 or the equivalent to s4.05 for every man, woman and child in the state. sum slightly under the 1880 average of $1s.72 per family and s4.25, per capita.
 Approximately 89 per cent of all the banking institutions this year conducted Christmas savings clubs, m increase of about 4 per cent over the number in 1880.
 Although third in population. Fairfield county with a total of e2,042,693, had the largest amount of Christmas club funds; New Hn- vane was next with q total of $1,- e76,393; and Hartford, with funds totaling $1,385,884. was third; foi- lowed in ranking order by New London with $553.075; Litchfieid with s345,100; Windham with S33O,713: Middlesex with $147,3B4; and Holland with $65,500.
 Coming as 1t does nt this par ticular time of the year and under existing conditions, 1t would ape pear that the major portoin of this vast sum will be placed into cir culation directly, either through the purchase of merchandise or in payment for that already bought.
