 Another new feature is savings bank insurance which is now issued by eight of the banks and fifteen others act as agencies. Connecticut is the third state to put such a plan into operation; Massachusetts and New York being the other two states to precede Connecticut.
 The Savings banks of Connecticut have long and remarkable history and have become as much an inte- gral part of their respective com- munities as the poStoffice, the village green on Main street itself. With over a million depositors and billion dollars of deposits. they can look forward to times of still greater service to the people of Connecticut.

Waterburys savings banks are among the Conn. banks of this type Instrumental in a one billion dollar total of deposits in mutual Savings banks of the state according to a report just released by Ralph w. Chapin, president of the Savings Bank Association of Connecticut.
 According to a recent survey by the Savings Banks Association Of Connecticut, the combined deposits of all the mutual savings banks in Connecticut now exceed one billion dollars. In the year 1944 they grain cd 9l04, 900 900, and with total de- posits on December 3l, 1914 of $982,- 633, ,784, 1t was self-evident that if the same rate of increase continued deposits would pass the billion dol lar mark by the end of February In order to check the rate of gain, Q survey was made on February 28. and this survey shows that the bil- lion dollar mark was not only reached by that date but it wassact- ually passed by over $5 million. The total of deposits in the seventy-two mutual savings banks in Connecti- cut on February 28 was $l,005, ,320, : g67.64.
 But probably more notable than the growth of deposits has been the consistent gain in the number of people served by this group of banks, for they now serve 1,091 ,617 regular savings depositors, nearly BOO, ,000 Christmas Club and school savings depositors and thousands of home owners who have borrowed money from these banks to finance their homes. The survey shows that the gain in number of accounts in the two months since December 31 has been 8,741 accounts, and the gain in the previous three months was 0,750 accounts. By dividing the total deposits of $1 ,005 ,230, ,267.64 by the number of regular depositors u,091,61D we find that the aver age account in these banks through out the state is $920.00.
 When the first savings bank was organized in Connecticut in 1919 there were no banks which well comed savings accounts. There were only 8 few banks and they served only business men. There was 8 real need for savings banks for more and more men were go- ing to work for wages in the fac- tories, shipyards and farms and they could find no safe place for their savings. In history this pe- rtod was known as the period of the industrial revolution which marked the beginning of manu- featuring on a large scale both in this country and in England. It soon became evident to thoughtful people that many of the workers would lose their savings or fail to save anything for the future unless Q safe and convenience place were provided for their small savings The first mutual savings bank was founded in order to provide just such 8 safe place for the savings ot the Workingmen and women.
 In the years following 1846 many other savings banks were formed during good times and bad, in days of war and peace and in days of depression and prosperity because there was such an insistent de- 1nand for more of these banks which so adequately filled the needs of the people. The latest one to be organized was opened on July l, 1908, nearly forty years ago. There are now seventy-two mutual savings banks in Connecticut with about 300 active officers and em- ployes and there are one hundred

Purpose of the trial is to deter mine in practical operation the rel ative efficiency and economy of radio relay for transmission of long distance telephone messages and of sound and television programs, compared with transmission over the familiar wires and cables and the recently developed coaxial ca ble.
 Spaced about 30 miles apart, the locations for the new radio booster" stations are all on hilltops-a ne- cessary condition for proper recep- tion of the ultra-high frequency radio waves which do not travel much farther than the horizon.
 The Connecticut points selected are on Spindle Hill, in the town of Wolcott about four miles from Bris- tol; John Tom Hill, seven miles east of Glastonbury; and Bald Hill in Stafford, three miles east of Staffordville. The other stations will be on Jackie Jones Mountain near the Hudson River; Birch Hill, in Patterson, New York, just across the state line from New Fairfield, Conn; Asnebumskit Mountain, near Worcester; and Bear Hill, near Wal tham, Mass.
 Buildings will be erected at the seven relay points, to house trans hitting and receiving apparatus. At each station, highly directive antenna systems will pick up and amplify the radio waves and beam them on direct line-of sight path to the next station. Field work on the project this year is expected to include building roadways up the hillsides to the relay stations, and preparing for connections with pow CT and telephone lines.
 When in operation, the relay transmitter will send out signals with a strength of about one watt, compared with up to 50,0OO watts for standard broadcast stations.
 If the experimental facilities prove as satisfactorily as the telephone en- gineers expect, and if this method of transmission is found to be econ- omically feasible, spur connections to nearby cities and towns may spread out radio relay channels in all directions from backbone net work. It is entirely possible that radio relay systems eventually will be connected with the Bell Systems coaxial cable network for nation wide telephone service and for sound and television program transmits sion.
 The New York Boston route was selected for the experimental trial Of radio relay because of its nearness to the Bell Telephone Laboratories
