$4,000, 900 Cash

the operation of these clubs. They
are prepared in advance and all
mailed at the same time so that the
club members will have equal oppor-
tunities in their selection of Christ
mas goods.
About $6,000,OO0 will be distributed
by % banks in and around Wash
ington which have maintained
Christmas clubs during the past
year. AS most banks in this vicinity
are planning to drop Christmas Saw
ings Clubs next year, the checks are
being drawn for the last time.
When the checks are mailed, a
letter will be included signed by
bank officials urging club members
to divert large portion of their
savings in 1943 into War Savings
Bonds. Bankers have already per-
sonally urged many of the Christmas
club members to adopt such a plan.

SCHOOLS FORM
 VIOLIN GLASS
VIadO KOIitsCh, Renowned
 Musician, to Assist Leon R. COrIiss

Naugatuc,,::, Oct. 27-A new prof. ect for developing violin players in Naugatuck public schools will be- gin this week. vlado Kolitsch. world renowned violinist who is now living in Naugatuck, will as- sist Leon R. Corliss, supervisor of music, in forming beginners violin class lessons. These classes will be held under school supervision in the Futile Music Shed in the rear of the Futile school on Church street
 MT. Kolitsch studied under the greatest violin teachers of modern days, namely, Otakar Secvik and Leopold Auer. These teachers taught the great violinists of today, such as Kreisler, Heifetz, Zimbalist and others. MT. Kolitsch, recently of New York, plans to open his studio here and to have his New York pupils come to Naugatuck for their lessons.
 The opportunity of having such a noted violinist in the borough | bids well for those who wish to study violin with him, either ad- vanced or as beginners. These be- ginners' classes will be limited to five pupils and the fee for tuition is most reasonable.
 MT. Kolitsch and MT. Corliss will be at the Futile Music Shed next Saturday afternoon, Oct. 31st, from 3 to 5 p. m. and Sunday afternoon, Nov. 1st, from to 5 p. m., to meet parents and children or any stu dents who may wish to have an in- terview for beginning study. Let ters will be issued to all pupils of the local schools, explaining the course of study and all details nec- essary to be known by parents. It it hoped that many new players may be developed, as violin study has not been as popular in recent years as it should be. MT. Kolitsch will provide violin outfits for a nominal sum, if the pupil does not now own an instrument. This is the golden opportunity for the young people of Naugatuck to study violin with a master teacher.
