at is encouraging to learn that
owners of Christmas Clubs in mu-

large part of their holiday funds
for the purchase of War Savings
Bonds" said George J. Bassett,
president of the association and
president of the Connecticut Saw
ings Bank, New Haven. Much of
this money has been patiently
acquired for gifts to others, and I
can think of no gift more appro-
pirate than War Savings Bond,
nor any one more certain to be
appreciated now and in the years

New York easily ranked first in
the size of its mutual savings bank
Christmas Clubs, having deposits of
$26,436,812 and 445,691 depositors.
Massachusetts took second place

third, having $10,257,153 deposits
and 1854 depositors.
Mutual savings bank officials com
mented that the total for deposits
and depositors was impressive in
view of war conditions, when such
a large number of Christmas Club
savers have entered the service and
did not maintain their accounts this
year. Mutual savings banks also

cific rent ceiling previously on the
dwellings"
Most of the unfair practices here
have been directed against colored
people, who have constantly expert
enced difficulty in finding housing
accommodations, and against large
families. In all of the cases the
tenants have considered themselves
fortunate to get the tenements and
have refrained from complaining, 1t
was reported.
A volunteer social worker for the
Pearl Street Neighborhood house
told the Democrat the colored resi-
dents of the city are crowded into
rooms for which they are paying ex-
orbitant prices but in no case are
they willing to complain to author
tiles. She stated numerous cases OF
violation of the OPA Ceiling prices
for furnished rooms have been in
dicated but that the occupiers con-
tinue to pay, silent on the unfair
ness they are undergoing.
Numerous instances were related
of the difficulty faced by coloreo
people in securing tenements. In
migration Of hundreds of families
from the south into the industrial
area and the increasing shortage
of housing accommodations have
heightened the problem faced by
the race here it was reported.
Because of the great demand fol
rents the colored families and those
with a large number of children
have been unable to secure rents
unless they either make or accept
offers exceeding the amounts charg-
ed to other tenants, one source
stated.
Search for newly-rented premis-
es, which are not registered at the
OPA rent headquarters, is con-
stantly being conducted by the To-
cal staff, but because of the mas
siveness of the task it is believed
some may escape notice. Unwilling
ness of some tenants to complain
is likewise accredited as a hind
rance in securing more equitable
rental schedules.

Guatemala has already sent

TURKEYS REPORT
SCARCE in STATE
OPA Places Ceiling on
Prices; II Birds Are
Available

Less than one third the normal
local demand for turkeys are eX-
pected to be on hand this year, a
survey of Waterbury wholesalers re-
veals. This means that approx
mately twelve thousand Waterbury
homes may lack turkey dinners this
Thanksgiving.
Wholesalers predict that some of
these homes will not even be able
to substitute geese and poultry, as
even these are expected to be
scarce on the market.
The main reason for the lack of
fowl is the huge supply bought by
the government for men in the arm
ed forces, estimated to have amount
ed to SO million pounds.
The ceiling price for drawn"
birds is 81 cents pound and for
dressed birds, 81 cents a pound
the state OPA says in pointing out
that butchers must clean dressed
birds free of charge under the
price regulations.

Father Bogusas said the land.
reform laws Of 1922, which re-
moved land from large holders and
redistributed it among all inhabit-
ants, in effect raised the country
productivity. The Russian action in
1910, whereby all land was declared
property of the state and owners
became managers, decreased the ma
tons economic status by 40 per
cent, he stated.
Relating the history Of the 1922
reform laws, the speaker stated:
"AIl land estates which exceeded 200
acres we're taken by the government.
Large tracts Of land were held by
foreigners who had no genuine In
terest in the welfare Of the nation
and its individuals, and the usual
evils of absentee ownership were
rampant. The law also enabled the
state to take over the private prop
erty of those who had served in
the postwar German armed bands,
and Of those who worked or were
still worokinug against the indepen-
uGIlC6 Ol L1IludIllds
1.-THE law further provided that the
biggest and least active estates
should first be ar. ropriated for land
reform purposes. Under this law the
land was to be distributed to ex-sol-
diers who had fought in defense of
their country and heads Of families
of landless peasants, farm laborers
and small landowner owning less
than 20 acres. Those farmers and
their descendants from whom the
land was seized by the government
in 1851 and 1863 were to receive
property over all Others"
He stated that the land was not
absolutely seized as compensation
payments were provided, with ap-
proximately four million dollars
paid by the government up to 1885.
In regard to the 1910 reform.
Father Bogusas stated:
"All land was proclaimed state
property and consequently the farm
er-owners suddenly became only
managers of government property
and could not sell, exchange, or give
away their land. Besides they were
not given any financial support to
start the cultivation" Most Of tho
new owners ultimately left the lane,
he added, with government exploit
tation of the working-class result
ing subsequently.

Costa Rica and other Middle Amer
lean countries is not new venture.
It is the revival of a native agricul-
ture. During the latter part of the
nineteenth century, American Gin
chona seed was planted in the Far
Eastern tropics and the industry
was assiduously developed there
while in the Western Hemisphere
it was allowed to languish. AS a re-
suit, by 1920 the East was produce
ing 81 percent of the worlds quinine
supply while American-grown quin-
inc had all but disappeared from
the world market.
Fortunately, the United States
had built up a fair stockpile of
quinine before Japan seized the
eastern sources. The present pro-
gram Of cinchona production in the
Western Hemisphere, while not suf-
ficient to meet all our needs, is
helping the armed forces to stretch
the present supply. In the asst two
years, our cinchona bark imports
from Latin America have risen from
mere trickle to hundreds of thou
sands of pounds yearly.
