past, especially when those things
have q definite relation to finances!
This feeling always comes with the
sheaf Of bills that arrives on the FIRST
Of January to cover the month of
December. 1t is the time Of year
that most business houses take their
inventories and see what is on hand
and what is needed, etc. We think it
is q good idea to carry out the same
planning with your shopping in the
new year.
Perhaps you are fed up with shop
ping and weary of the sight of the
stores. but, OF course, the household
always is in need Of something and
the women have to supply it, so we
might as well be resigned to begin
ming over again in q less hectic way
after the holidays and use the shops
to give US what We need at the best
price. That is to say, map out your
larger needs and try to plan for
them when the seasons offer the best
opportunities at the lowest price. In
other words. watch for the sales.

a GOOD housekeeper keeps her
linen closet well stocked ct all
times. She doesn't wait until the
supply Of sheets and pillow cases is
so low that a week end guest causes
a furry OF anxiety as to whether the
laundry will come hack in time to
have sufficient supply OF every
thing needed for the following week
after the guest has left! She will
want 10 check over her supply Of
kitchen linen that may have worn
out more quickly than she realizes.
For keeping up this department of
the household the January white
sales were especially invented. Here
is your opportunity to take advan-
tage Of special prices on all good
quality and nationally known classes
OF household linens - sheets, pillow
cases, towels, etc. You can do most
OF this shopping in your own home,
by making list of what is needed
when you have leisure and then being
ready when the sales begin.
The same is true with furniture
and rugs, which are usually featured
during the month of February. In
stead Of dashing right out with some
Of your Christmas money and spend
ing it quickly, hold on to it while
and you can no doubt make it 60
much further by planning carefully
for its expenditure. Even if you do
need another chair or would like an
other rug for the hall, if you wait
until the special sales you will prob

are hubbard and acorn squash.

1t is the "in-between season" OF West

The new crop, however, will be in

there are any number Of other items

ably be more than repaid. In the
meantime you can shop around a
little and get q lineup on the ap-
proximate price OF what you want.
Suppose you have been needing an
other Winter coat. Immediately after
the holidays the prices are slashed and
you can often get a marvellous value
that will not only see you smartly
through the rest of the Winter, but
through the following Winter as well.
1t is the same way with furs. Even II
part of the season has already passed,
in Washington we know that plenty of
cold Is yet ahead Of us. and your fur
coat minus the extra mark-up for the
holiday season, will give you q world
OF satisfaction in the feeling that you
can afford 1t more easily at this time
and actually get the same value for
less money.
STOCKING up the larder with a
good supply of those food staples
that you know you will be needing is
always part of the good shoppers
tactics. Watching the food sales will
keep you posted, and it is just as easy
to buy in somewhat larger quantities
when it means price reduction. All
these nickels and dimes saved on
necessities for the home during the
year, will mount up surprisingly, and
you will be quite proud of the sum
total Of your small savings.
That word savings" reminds us Of
the great advantages Of a Christmas
savings fund for next year. At the
lowest rate offered by the banks it
will net you nice little sum Just be-
fore the holidays next year, and you
will fortify yourself against any posi-
bility OF not receiving a bonus, for you
never can tell what will happen by
that time.
And last but not least, beware of
the bargain that is an excellent buy
in itself, but in reality something that
you do not need and cannot use at
the moment. Such a bargain Is pure
waste Of money. Often just the ex-
citement of a crowd of women around
the counter, all marveling at the low
price, will tempt you beyond your
better judgment. There seems to be
something ingrained in most women
that makes it very difficult for them
to resist a bargain. But here is where
your New Year shopping resolutions
will hold you to the mark, and let you
pass them by without regret, feeling
quite proud Of yourself in the new role
of bargain resister!
Here's to happy shopping in the
new year!

 Other appointments of interest in and about the city concern the Tor rington branch, which comes under the supervision of the, Waterbury office. Interviewers at that location include Hector Langevin, of New Haven, formerly of the State High way Department, and Benjamin B Traskoski, of Terryville, who until recently was director of Camp Rob- erts of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Thomaston. Another ap- pointment of considerable local in- terest is that of Joseph Daly, for mer reporter for the Democrat, who becomes 8 junior interviewer at the Meriden office.

have Monday through Saturday, until midnight Saturday, exactly, to get them in to The Democrat office.
 It's difficult so write much about this contest beyond the rules and the list of prizes. If we should suggest some names, they might be the same as those sent in some of the letters already here and then the origina- tors of those names would think we peeked and told. Which is the ffurtherest" thing we'd like to be accused of doing, you see.
 Tough To Suggest
 Ordinarily, there'd be fun for us trying to think of names for the babies and suggesting some of them to those who can't decide quite what they want to offer. But our type writer keys are tied down by the censor of suspicion, in manner of speaking, and we'll just have to let the contest roll along the way it's going, which, after all, is well enough.
 Hurry and get in your names and the leters telling why you like, "Of the Record" We want Waterbury to be well represented when the prize list is armour ced December IS, just ten days before Christmas. And we want some of those who enter in Waterbury to be glad then that they have solved something of the Christmas shopping problem, just by taking part in Ed Reeds contest and getting some of the prize money.
 It might as well be you, don't you think?

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-30

As the week ends, entries in the national 'Of the Record" cartoon contest-name the babies for $lOC first prize-are arriving in volume at The Democrat. One week more remains to get n your set of names for the three babes in the famous Ed Reed cartoon, to be accompan- jed by a letter of not more than 25 words telling why you like, "of the Record".
 Taking a peek at some of the let ters which will be sent along to Ed Reed to join the entries he'll receive from all sections of the country, we find, some Waterbury folk are very clever baby-namers, indeed. They have excellent reasons, too, for lik- ing the cartoon, "Of the Record, which has appeared on the editorial page of The Democrat daily for more than two years.
 Here, Here, Henry!
 But-and this is great big BUT some of the persons seeking to share in the $400 in prizes are not doing quite as well. Take, for il1- stance, the sender of a post card who writes that the "Of the Record cartoon is "very funny" and adds T also like Henry very much"
 Now, The Democrat is very proud of "OR the Record"- because 1t is considered one of the funniest car- toons currently tickling the news paper-reading public. And, Int Democrat is very proud of Henry, as well, because he's the most .un' practicable young feller in the comic sections today-a very funny feller indeed.
 Just "OR the Record"
 However, it seems bit doubtful that MT. Reed cares to hear how any of The Democrat readers feel about Henry. Mind, we don't accuse MT Reed of being blind to the other good cartoons beside his own. It's just that this contest is all about "Off the Record" and Henry" for once, just can't poke his prying nose into this contests affairs.
 Seriously, you'd better get busy and send along your entries. You

HOME LOAN BANK.
 OPENS CAMPAIGN
Savings Institutions in 28 Countries to Participate
 in Observance
Special to The Democrat,

NSESSAsSA
 Washington, D. O., October 3O- A new campaign to encourage indi- vidual self-reliance through saving will be inauguratee Sunday, October 31, by the 3,929 member institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank system in observance of Annual World Thrift day, Preston Delano, governor of the system, announced today.
 World Thrift day, which is spon- sored by the International Thrift Institute with headquarters in Milan Italy, was established in 1924. Sav- ings institutions in twenty-eight countries will participate in the yearly observance.
 The acquisition of homes through systematic saving is, we believe, the best method of thrift" MT. Delano declared. Such ownership of homes has great social and economic signi- hcance to the nation.
 "It is estimated that nearly 7,O0O,- 900 Americans are now saving through investments in building and loan associations and otter millions are buying homes through econom- ,ical long-term monthly repayment loans offered by these associations. lin this connection, 1t is well to point out that without the pooled savings of our citizens, this country could never have extended its frontiers and developed its resources so rap idly.
 "The Federal Home Loan Bank system, made up of savings, build- ing and loan associations, coopera- tive banks, homestead associations, mutual savings hanks and insurance companies, is ideally equipped as the great home mortgage credit pool to assist the American people in the achievement of individual self-reli- ance, financial independence and home ownership. In their hundred years history, such institutions as belong to the system have under lined the value of thrift habits"
 MT. Delano, in his statement, ad- vised member institutions of the oyoCCA UO UGH LIlclE story CO the puD- lie. by paid advertising.
 "Tell the people that thrift is nothing more than foresight in &C., tion-sensible conservation of all in- dividual resources for the use of fu- ture needs and desires. It is not a tedious task and has nothing to do with hoarding wealth. It may even involve spending and going into debt for future advantages, especially if home ownership is being considered. Properly planned thrift programs involve little real sacrifice, if one saves and invests with definite pur- poses in mind.
 "The American people will do well to participate in this Thrift day ob- servance by taking renewed interest in the affairs of their community savings, building and loan associa- tions which are members of the Federal Home Loan bank system. Such associations are important fac- tors in community life, and through them communities may be made far more pleasant and may more rapidly expand"

SEAL SALE IS ANTICIP PATED
Indications Point to Suc- Cessful Year for Anti-
 Tuberculosis League

Although no Christmas seals will be sold by the Waterbury Anti-Tu- berculosis League until December, there are advance indications that point to a most successful financial drive. In spite of the fact that the league has approached no one as yet, guarantees of financial support are already coming in.
 The women,s auxiliary of the IriSh-American Social Club, Inc. set the wheels of the drive in mos tion in advance of the official open ing date by subscribing to a $5 Christmas Seal Bond. Other argan- izations followed suit, and these bonds are being subscribed to singly and in blocks.
 The goal in the annual drive is $500, an advance of $500 over the goal of last year. Several factors influenced the decision of the league directors to raise the goal, the most important being an increase in the incidence of tuberculosis hero An increase in the number of cases means an increase in the work the league must do, through its nurses Miss Anna c. Murphy and Mrs George T. Jackson, and through other facilities.
 The league directs its attention particularly toward families whose financial circumstances prevent them from obtaining medical at tendance and counsel out of their own resources. During the year hun dreds of persons are interviewed and hundreds more are given free clinical examinations in the leagues headquarters.
