Credit Union
 Comments

Just a little handful Of quarters, niclOels and dirnesl They run through your fingers, and before you know 1t, they are gone. But they might be a turning point in your life.
 You can't buy much with this chicken feed'' at the store. But you can use 1t to buy yourself the beginning of an excellent new habit-the habit of saving part of your money each pay day and building up a fund to fall back on when the cash runs thin.
 Wouldn't 1t be comforting to have $25 or $50, perhaps even $1O0 or $20O, tucked away where you could get 1t whenever you needed 1t? If for nothing else, wouldn't 1t be pleasant to get away from the annoyance of always having to borrow "a few dollars till pay day2"
 That isn't so hard to manage. That same handful of silver jing- ling around in your pocket Is the answer.
 What you save at the outset may not be much. But here's the point put 1t aside instead of spending it and you have already got the SENSE OF SAVING in your mind. And that is the main thing. You really start your financial life all over again when you know that you have turned around and are headed in the direction of thrift instead of spending down to your last cent.
 And the dollars, themselves, do pile up surprisingly fast with steady saving. More and more things come within your reach which you never thought you could afford-new furniture, va cation trips, better clothes, pres ents for the family and other pleas ant objects.
 Your credit union was started to give you a place to save these dimes and quarters. Don't wait till you have big amount to start off with. We will welcome your application even If you have only handful of change
 At the last Board of Directors Meeting, the following bylaw was passed: starting Monday, March 20, 1914, each shareholder will be allowed twelve (12) withdrawal checks each year.
 After that there will be charge of 10 cents per check.
 The purpose of the Credit Union is to promote saving and is not to be used as a checking account.

Wars End Depends On All Out Effort
 Says Admiral Stark

Admiral H. R. Stark, Command CT, U. s. Naval Forces in Europe, has issued the following statement from his headquarters in London:
 The first question almost every one who comes over here asks is: When will the war end?"
 l have said that what we ought to do Is think far less about when the war will end, and more how to end 1t.
 The question is a very natural one, and while everyone IS entitled to his or her guess, feel that ev- ryone will recognize the fact that 1t Is bound to end sooner rather than later If we continue full speed ahead on every front, wheth- CT 1t be men fighting the enemy in the trenches, or men-o-war fighting on the high seas, or men in the offices, on the farms, in the mines. and In the factories, fight ing their producing opposites in the enemy country on the eSsen- t1als to wage war.
 Regardless of the eremy's con- dition, the more unrelenting, the greater the pressure the sooner shall he be defeated.
 Tn greater the production at home, the greater can that unre- lenting pressure be kept on the enemy on land, in the air, and on the sea.

Keep Goggles Clean

Baseball players wisely say, You can't hit 'em when you can't see 'eml" You can't do an efficient job, either-if dirty goggles ob- struct your vision.
 Dirty lenses can cause eyestrain, clogged sideshields help cause fog ging.
 Keep lenses clear and side shields clean by washing with soap and water, ri1lsing, and wiping with a soft, clean cloth at least once daily. Scrub eyecups, lens rings, and side shields with stiff brush and warm, soapy water. When not being worn, safety goggles should be kept in case.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 HELP THIS WEEK
MattatuCk Musical Art Is Sponsoring Collection of
 Musical Equipment

Waterbury school children are asked to brighten the lonesome hours of American troops in for- eign lands. Cartons are being pro- vided in every local school for musi- cal instruments, records, and fun" nies.
 The War Service Commission of the Mattatuck Musical Art Society will sponsor the drive through this week to and including Friday, March "A.
 A Waterbury youth who is leaving shortly for overseas duty with a medical unit writes home: "Al- though my principal duty here is as detachment commander I am aSSo special service officer. Here at camp I've had to arrange choruses, organ ize an orchestra. It's been great to know that I've done ali l cHn to make the mems extra curricular ac. tivities enjoyable. However, within the continental limits of the United States this job is fairly easy be- cause the facilities are here.
 
 "What we are allowed to bring with us at the point of embargation is limited but there is no Army regulation forbidding me to receive voluntary gifts of less than five pounds in weight for the benefit of my two hundred men.
 'Ts there anything you can do to sell this idea to Waterbury? We'll need a small victrola, and records, and magazines. Knowing the peo- pie of Waterbury as I do. I'm sure they'll help me-"
 A good answer to this letter is that school children bring contribu- tions to school this week to help the Mattatuck Musical Art-Service com. nittee in their work of musical equipment collection.
