The U.S. Biological Survey reports that conservationists, sportsmen, Key West civic organizations, fishermen and spongers are helping to protect the herons and other birds, as well as key deer.

It is the kind of constructive serv- ice that will yet make this community and. area one of the outstanding vacation cen- ters of the United States. BANKS PREFER NEWSPAPERS Five hundred members of the Amer- | ican Savings and Loan Institute, recently attending a eonvention in Pittsburgh, heard Francis E. Ingalls, Massachusetts banker, declare that newspapers provide advertising medium and that they should “make newspaper advertising ' a live and vital force in their savings and loen programs.” Moreover, the Financial Association, of Chicago, after a survey of banks ranging from the world’s largest to those with resources around a million dol- | | lars, reports that 30 per cent are increas- ing their advertising, 65 per cent main- taining their schedules and only five per cent reducing advertising budgets. Banks in the 25 to 50 million dollar class will use 64 per cent of their approp- riation in newspapers; those in the 50 to 100 million dollar class will use 54 per cent; those under 25 million 56 per cent and those of cent. 15, to funds will be divided between other ties, car cards, outdoor advertising, dis- plays, national magazines and radio.
