A hitherto undercover strug-
gle for savings deposits among
area banks has erupted in a
snowballing move to raise in
terest rates paid to such de-
poSitors.
Area bankers are anything
but happy over the situation
which traces directly to in
roads in the savings field by
fast-growing building and loan
associations.
In a sense, the banks are
not competing with building
and loan associations. They
can't because the associations
pay a higher interest rates
per cent or better-and the
depositors' accounts now have
the same Federal guarantee
accorded depositors in banks.
What seems to be happening
is that the area building and
loan associations are in hot
competition among themselves
for depositors while the banks
are competing with each other
to retain the depositors they
have.
Chain Reaction
This, in general, was behind
the apparent chain reaction of
the past few days in which one
bank after another raised it's
rates to 2 per cent and one
even went to 212 per cent

by law to pay. Still others

II as he saw 1t from No. 10
Downing street. The British

bank in nearby Maryland al
ready has advertised give
away prizes-Scout knives,
footballs, globe maps-to any
one opening a SIS savings
account or renting a safe
deposit box.
Even the competition among
building and loan groups here
is tight enough to prompt
one or two to offer steak
knives or other cutlery to de-
positors of certain specified
amounts.
No Rote War Wanted
To the sound, solid bankers
and building and loan officials
this is completely deplorable.
The last thing they want is
rate advertising war with each
other or within each group.
Nor is there any intention to
let the situation degenerate
into a competition of who
gives away the best presents.
For the most part the banks
which raised their rates during
the past few days contented
themselves with signs in their
lobbies announcing the fact to
their visitors, customers and
depositors. That was all. An
exception has been the Union

downtown banks to pay 2 per

decades, the way ! have, you begin
to be able to interpret her little
gestures and motions with some
ease.
My wife, a sylph of a lass l
found one day at the altar when l
walked out of a side room under
heavy escort, has developed a sign
language for swift, silent commu-
nication with me which ! daresay
would furrow a lot of foreheads in
counterespionage.
At a recent party l was jollying
a stable blonde in one corner of
the room when I got one of my
wife's more overt signals. At first l
thought it was a dirk plunged into
me by a professional assassin. Pal
ing but relieved, found upon
turning that it was merely my
wife's index finger bunting itself
on my spine.

This little episode l would clas-
sify under the heading of The

of the blonde. My chats with
women of lesser allure have been
broken up in the past with simple,
harmless waggles of the digit in
question.
Another little signal my wife has
perfected is narrowing her eyes.

To the Editor of the Guardian:
Recent publicity concerning
the Centennial OF the Boston
Public Library and the plans
for its development and expan-
sion have brought forth many
interesting comments. Among
the most heartening are those
from men and women who have
a particular feeling of warmth
and friendship toward the Lii
brary because of the part it
has played in the development
of their own lives and their
business or professional careers.
Many of these people are
well known to us, and we are
proud that this Library has
contributed to their intellec-
tual well-being and to their
success. However, throughout
this city, the Commonwealth,
and the Nation there must be
many others who have found
the Boston Public Library a
source Of inspiration and help.
It occurs to us that as part
of the observance of the 1O0th
Anniversary of this country's
first great circulating library
an alumni association might
be formed. For this purpose we
have particularly in mind the
men and women who, during
student years or later, gained
from the Library the knowledge
and abilities which have en-
abled them to live more salts
flying and rewarding lives.
We shall consider 1t a great
favor il such people, wherever
they may be, will write to the
Library in order that we may
endeayor to arrange a get-to-
/ gether of some sort that WiA
offer additional and significant
evidence that the Library is
indeed fulfilling its mission.

"A Wonderful Singing Service"
Act 1928, based on the story
OF the apostle Paul and Silas
who, while held as prisoners by
the Philippians, had a wonder
full singing service dealing with
their deliverance from all. The
pastor told the congregation
when we are burdened and pick
the midnight hour to pray to
sing our song to God for it is
a wonderful thing to sing
praises to God. The various
clubs are actively planning fine
programs for the enjoyment of
members and friends. There is

that Miss Beulah Nell Perry,

for which will be released by

great plans for the young folks
and young adults who are ad-
to show interest in
their church as they are always
welcome. The pastor thanks
parishioners and friends for
the great contributions they
make each week.
