the individuals savings regularly
and rapidly increase to supplement
any other future retirement funds.
Mr.. Lewis was followed on the
radio by an interview with Clar-
ence e. Keyes, State Director of
Savings Bonds Division of the
United States Treasury. In his in
terview Mr.. Keyes outlined the inn
portance of setting aside savings
to give a person a real sense of Sc
curity in any emergency need or to
increase those savings for any
worthwhile future investments for
home, family, or business. Mr..
Keyes particularly stressed the i'm
portance to more and more people
for savings for old age. He point
ed out that even though individ-
uals may have social security or
pension protection that usually
there is not enough income in
prospect to warrant comfortable
retirement. He called attention to
the fact that in the new Bond-A-
Month Plan there is no cost to the
depositor for the service and that
in the purchase of United States
Savings Bonds the individual was
buying the best paying, safest. Sc
curity in the world. He further
pointed out that the bonds are
readily cashable when an emerg-
ency arises but that the longer the
bonds are allowed to stand, the
faster they grow to maturity. Mr..
Keyes said that regular investment
in United States Savings Bonds
will bring to the individual a gain
in money, security, peace of mind
and achieve that independence that
all Americans desire.

PRETTY, TOO - So here's a tale
of one Sarah Wilson, a visitor to
the Port City and not a resident
we're happy to relate.
It was in the winter of 1772 that
Wilmington was treated to a sight
it had never seen before.
Tongues were wagging. hearts
beating a little faster, and the
local gallants were going out OF
their way just to impress a dis
tjnguished visitor of the female
species.
Josiah Martin was the new royal
governor having recently replaced
William Tyron, who left North
Carolina in the summer of It'll to
take the governorship of New
York.
So it was during the administra-

BENSON INDICATES
SUPPORT OF BILL
Saws Identification Bureau
Would Function Better
Under Single Control

Support of Representative Robert
M. Kermon's proposal that the City
County Bureau of Identification be
placed under the control of either
the city or county vas indicated
late yesterday by City Manager j.
R. Benson following a discussion OF
the mlz tier with the New Hanover
county legislator.
Although not saying directly that
he favored such a move. Benson
pointed out that he was not op-
posed to Kermon's proposal and in
dictated his belief that the bureau
operating under either the chief OF
police or the sheriff could function
more efficiently than it does under
the present system of spllt-control
between the two departments.
Benson asserted that a bill now
under consideration by Kermon
and designed to unity regulation OF
the bureau should be drawn with
the utmost care. so that the maxi
mum use of the department can
be obtained.
He estimated that around Is per
cent of the work now being done
by t h e bureau is in conjunction
with the police department and sug-
gested that this fact indicated it
would work more efficiently Under
police control.
Benson summed up his opinion
of the matter by saying that he
had no special desire for the Ker-
mon proposal b u t neither did he
have any opposition to it.
