DROPS JUNCTION FROM NAMF OF SAYBROOK STATION According to a notice received at the New Haven station, the railroad station on the Shore Line route heretofore known as Saybrook Junction will hereafter be designated as Saybrook. The station, as a matter of fact, is located in the town of Old Saybrook. Some time ago the line running from che station to Sayhrook Point was abandoned and while the sta- tion marks the junction of the Shore and Valley lines, the dronping of the word junction wiil cause no confusion. The new name of the railway station at that point wiil conform to the name of the postoffice. The change becomes effective on June 11, when the new summer time- tables go into effect.

Murphy and the employes of the Norwich post office are for the in- creased sale of United States Treasury certificates. These mature in five years from date of purchase and bear interest at the rate of 4% per cent. They are sold in denominations of $20, $80, and *$800 with maturldy values of $25, $100 and $1.000 respectively. _In order that the patrons may real-' ize the necessity of co-operating in the movement, literature is being distributed that gives full particulars as to the in- vestment value of the treasury certifi- cates and why the government requires | the funds from such sales. The Norwich post office sold during the year 1918 War Saving Stamps to the amount of $259.940. There were also sold 46,778 Thrift Stamps, amounting to $11,697. A number of these stamps have been cashed at the post office since then, the holders receiving the purchase price with interest added to the time of pay- ment. There are registration cards in the office for nearly $200,000 and all will be presented for payment next Jan- uary. The postmaster's plan is that if the office could dispose of $100.000 of the treasury certificates during the re- mainder of this year, he has no doubt but what an equal amount will be ex- changed from the proceeds of the War- Savings Stamps in January for Treasury Certificates as those who have ha,l them will fully realize the many advantages of investing in government securities, Our government is most desirdus for its people to acquire the habit of thrift and saving and for their protection offer the safest and best security in the world and the public should realize that with security and interest equal the gov- ernment should have the preference. Clubs and organizations will find these are an excellent Investment for their surplus funds. The vostmaster, clerks, and city and rural carriers are most in- terested and will be pleased to take or- ders for these certificates and give any desired information. The 1918 issue of War Savings Stamps is due January 1, 1923. This maturity amounts to approximately $600,000,000. The largest part of this payment can be PHONE e AR G b Mt S Ml SR SRR SIS Bt Get Them From Your Grocer.
