POSTAL DEPOSITS

Now, let us continue to be completely factua. strictly dealing
with figures that are taken from published documents. We have
just discussed discussed savings deposits. 7 am going to give you
now figures on demand deposits in the Virgin Islands, locally
known as checking accounts, used by business widely for payment
Of their obligations. Well on December 81, 1850, checking accounts
in the Virgin Islands National Bank were $22722223O. BY Decenn-
Der 81, 1852 checking accounts had risento $~2,7726487O, an increase
of exactly half a million dollars in two years. And on june 80, 1858
checking accounts increased to s., 378s7I489. an increase of 100000
in six months and an increase of $110OOO0 in the last two and a half
years To cap these figures, hefeis q quick summary. On December
81 1850, total deposits in the Virgin Islands National Bank were
$4279y666s25. On June 80, 1858, two and one half years later, total
deposits were ~6,47566949, an increase of~A$220O00O, or over 500.
Now let US take postal savings accounts in the Islands. I have
my figures from published annual reports of the Post Office De-
partment in Washington which are available to anybody. What do
we find? On June 80, 1850, postal savings in the Virgin Islands
amounted to $34O951. On June 80, 1852, two years later, postal
savings had jumoed1to $389,35I, and increase Of $4,000. But.better
than this, the published documents show that in 1852 there were
49, depositors per thousand population which is higher statisicaly
than in all the states of the Union and in all. other territories and
possessions Of the United States. We also find that Virgin Islands
deposits per thousand population in the postal savings system were
$146O1.58-Which is equal to or higher than n states in the United
States Only n states had a higher deposit ratio per thousand popu-
laton. am referring, of course, to figures for all the VmginSIslands.
But in case some one should say that the improvement probably
affected St Thomas only, here you are. Savings deposit in the st.
Thomas post office jumped $4,000, in Christiansted $4,000 and in
FTederiksted $700ofin the nast two years. And in Charlotte ApaIe
alone, postal savings jumped another $4,000 between June 1852 and
sune 1883.

At long last, candy for distars Il here. For years, detsrs have been
asking Tor candy. Lack o. candy has probably caused more pbreaks
0yerse on diets than any other one thing. Now, the Caorte Saving
Kitchen has produced two recipes for low calorie candy that contains
many important nutrients1 enough, We think, 70 satisfy the nutrition
experts everywhere. IS
The two recipes which follow. Coconut Creams for DieteSs and Fudges
Creams for DieMrs, are based on cream cheese and Sucaryl, the nons
cal0ac sWeetener whiehscan be- cooked without losing is sweetness.
There g no sugar ct all IN either Of these recipes and the caodes
In each piece are less than half the calories in ordinary fudge or
creams. 4
Each recipe has options which you can adapt to your own likes.
Coconut creams can b prepared without coc0nut, (which case they
are plain creams, and can be decorated with chopped nuts or bits -
chopped dried. fruit gweetened with Sucaryl. The Fudge Creams mag
be prepared with orMtthout nuts.

A colorful and historic past rose
up to confront members of the
Rockville Presbyterian Church re-
Gently with the discovery of a
small piece of paper pasted to the
underside of bible stand.
1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Green, who attend the
church, and who are engaged in
the antique and upholstery bust
ness in Rockville, noticed the old
velvet covering on the stand was
badly worn. Mrs. Green told the
Rev. Howard Cobbs, minister of
the church, she would replace the
covering.
A few days later, she returned
the stand and showed the Rev.
Cobbs the paper pasted beneath
the old velvet. On it was short,
handwritten legend which said the
zand is deep-dyed in the calls to
wood of the first printing press
used in Rockville. 1t was dated
June &c, 1858 and signed by the
builders and carpenters.
So far as can be learned, Rock
ville's first newspaper appeared in
1906 and was edited by Matthias
E. Burgess. In 1927 the "True
American and Montgomery Ad-
vocate" was started by Jesse
Lynch.
1t is presumed the walnut wood
used in the stand came from some
part of one of these early presses
and is deep ?dyed in the calls to
liberty which dominated the press
during the war of 1912.
Rockville's history in the halls
of journalistic fame also contain
another high spot. This reporter,
who owns an 1913 copy of little
known report made by committee
of the General Assembly which in
vestigated the bloody newspaper
riots in Baltimore-riots which

folk will be tolerate but the prim-
airy purpose is to bring together
those of more mature years. No
matter how polite and attentive
a younger matron appears, there
is not the thrill that comes when
an older person can talk with
those who lived in the same era
and talked the same language.
Mrs. Barnsley is project chair
man for the picnic and she plans
on having even more of a crowd
than last year, when more than
200 appeared. The older folk will
put on the program and there will
be a corsage for the oldest pre-
sent and another corsage for the
one who comes the longest dis
ance. A prize will be awarded to
the person who stages the best
stunt.
Those who attend will bring
their own box suppers but coffee
will be served by the committee.
And from the four corners of
the universe, the first thing our
far-fung correspondents want to
know is:
"How is Miss Lucy?
And we tell them:
"She's just as active as ever
and her club is growing by leaps
and bounds"
So long as you can keep your
heart as young as Miss Lucy, you
will never grow old, if you sur
pass Methusaleh in years.
In case you are interested in
the club. her address is: "2 Lynch
Street, Rockville, Maryland"
