S42 Million SAVINGS
In D. {. in Six Months
Is Highest Since 'R
By Nelson M. Shepard


: New net savings of $42 million
were deposited in Washington
savings accounts during the first
six months of 1852 to set the
highest postwar record since the
peak net of $92 million in 1916.
the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond disclosed today.
The mounting rate of savings
was reflected throughout the
whole Fifth Reserve District,
which reported gain of $2.494
million in net savings during the
Six-and-a-halt year period. In
the District of Columbia, it was
estimated the increase in savings
reached a total of 1919 million
during this postwar period.
81 The Reserve Banks analysis,
contained in its monthly report,
showed the net gain in Wash
ington's savings since the record
1916 figure, as follows: For 1947.
a rise of $62 million; 1948, drop
to SIT million: 1949, plus $50
million; 1850, plus $40 million;
1851. a net of $27 million, and
$42 million in the first six months
of this year. At the present rate
of gain, the Washington net by
the end of the year should ap-
proximate $84 million. still So mil
lion behind the peak year of 1916.
Based on Capital Changes.
The analysis was based on
changes in share capital of all
operating savings and loan asso-
Citations. time deposits at all banks
and reserves of major legal re-
serve life insurance companies
and investments in United States
Savings Bonds.
Reporting on the fifth district
as a whole, the Richmond Reserve
Bank said Maryland, with new
net savings totaling $598 million
since 1916, led all other States
in the area. North Carolina was
second with $574 million, Virginia
third with $513 million, the Dis
trict of Columbias $319 million
placed fourth. West Virginia fifth
with 1888 million and South Caro-
lima trailed with $207 million.

Directors of Security Storage
Co. today declared an extra divi-
dend of $1.25 a share on capital
stock, as well as the regular quar-
terly $1.25 dividend. Both divi-
dends are payable December % to

Al Clubs Buy
Montana Bulls

MEMBERS of Sublette county,
Wyoming, All and FLA groups, with
the assistance of the Lions club of
Big Piney, purchased 43 purebred
Hereford calves from Montana
breeders Oscar Sales, B elgrade;
Enoch Sales, Belgrade; Henry M.
Shank, Bozeman; George Cook,
Bozeman, andJ. R. Cook, Bozeman.

filling projects Of the club members,
finally being sold at the Lions club
sponsored Sublette county All and
FLA Hereford bull sale to be held

Bozeman as auctioneer.
This year 86 bulls have been con
signed to the show and sale. Club
members are allowed to purchase
their project bull at any place or
they can place an order in bull
purchasing pool conducted by the
Lions club. The Montana bulls are
the bulls for the pool and are chosen
by lot for the individual participant.
A local bank of Big Piney provides
financial assistance for the boys and
girls carrying the projects.
Last year 48 bulls were sold at the
sale at an average price of $1,O66.
The Lions club sponsors this project
to help the boys and girls to learn
to raise and care for good stock and
secondarily to help get good bulls
into this well-known Hereford d
ranching area.

Milk Shortage
Predicted

AUTHORITIES who have made
study of the dairy industry are pre-
dieting a milk shortage in some
areas within the comparatively near
future Milk cows on U. S. farms in
1851 were the lowest since 1885 De
spite improvement in milk produc-
ton per COW the amount of milk pro-
duced per person in the U. S. is not
holding its own.
With a marked increase in people
and the decrease in dairy COW num-
bers, it appears that it is only a
matter of time before there will be
a greater demand for dairy products.

Modern Coffee Table Is Easy to Build
BY DouaIos Tuomey

If you like modern furniture or
would like to present somebody
with q princely gift. YOU can make
the coffee table. illustrated with
astonishing ease. It looks COM
lplicated, but in reality it is quite
simple.
The table shown is made en-
tirely of three-quarter-inch ply
wood. All cutting is in straight
lines. Two-inch small-head wire
nails are used to assemble it.
The measurements are 3 to 5
feet long tas you wish, 20 inches
deep and Is to 18 inches high.
lIf you note the small thumbpail
sketch above the table, you have
the key to the whole scheme.
The job starts with making the
top section, which is a fiat top
with two side pieces beneath It.
The second section is made OF a
Longer piece, with two side pieces
looking up. The bottom section is
simply two pieces which act as
the legs OF the table. Put them to-
|gether and you have the complete
assembly.
Most Of the value Of this piece
of furniture will depend on how
nicely the piywood is cut, sanded
down and finished. II. ordinary
care Is applied to this. the piece
viii be extremely smart. Joints
should be tight and glued as well
as nailed.
If you like blond furniture. the
plywood can be vanished or shell
lacked or painted with a honey
colored paint. II you want heavy
color, the assembly can be painted
an antique green with contrasting
panels in Chinese red. II you
have an established color scheme
in your room. it is simple to
match it when finishing the table.

Expect Lower Costs
OF Construction This Year

and its alloys and substitutes
available this year to build 800.-
900 houses In 1852 If builders use
an average of about so per cent
less of these scarce materials in
each house than was used In
houses built last year. The silver
lining to the dark copper cloud,
however, is that most other build
ing materials are expected to be
in such good supply that it may
be possible for builders to buy
them a bit cheaper than they can
today.
This situation, together with
the prospect Of a. bit better out
put from building labor, may add
up to lower costs.
Whether such lower costs would
be reflected in the price of houses
would depend on whether q buy
|ers' market should. likewise, de-
Ivelop in the relationship between
builder, and home buyers owing
to lowered effective demand.
It might also depend, too, upon
what share Of any savings in
building costs the builder might
be obliged to pay out to lenders
in order to arrange for financing
If a buyers market developed be-
tween builder and lender, and
the same kind of a market de-
veloped between builder and home
buyer then. at long last home
prices might tend to drop down
a bit, s ].
The builders don't know the
full story, of what the year will
bring, nor do the flnanciers. Nor
do home buyers. Nor, indeed do
Federal officials.
Which just about makes It
unanimous. Armed with what they
know now, they'll just have to
wait and see what will happen.
