EkllB @lbSIIbOUL, uO aKSAVSb tVbaA Of 10o local World war veterans will be richer by S72,450, 1t was re- vealed today by Postmaster Frank n. Green. MT. Green expected the cheeks this morning but they did not arrive on the first delivery and he anticipates they will come this afternoon. They are sent directly to the veterans.
 The most surprising thing of the bonus bonds thus far is that less than half of the veterans here who received bonds have made any at. tempt to cash in all or part Of their bonds. Only 160 had taken steps last night to cash their bonds and only few more had appeared at the local postoftice Up to l0:SO this morning to take similar action
 There were about 400 from whom bonds were received here Monday night, and this leaves 23i who have not cashed the bonds at all. Some of the 160 who cashed bonds did not redeem all of them, holding some back for Q future time.
 There were l44o bonds of $50 de. nomination each sent into Hart ford to be cashed from here by last night. Postmaster Green said today. This makes Q total of $72,- zBO. The fact that 50 many have not cashed their bonds is an indication they have not an immediate need for the money.
 There are about 200 local veterans Who have not yet received their bonus bonds, because of a delay at Washington. These are expected to get their bonds soon.
 Postmaster Green said that from now on bonds will be certified for cashing at the postofflce during regular business hours there. There is no time limit set for cashing and veterans can hold the bonds as long as they wish.
 1k is expected the $72,460 which lhas been cashed will have its effect on local business.
