The first of the checks wenit out this week, and ail will have reached the hands, of their thrifty owners by December 1, it is announced. This date will also mark the organization of the 1935 Christmas Savings club. The checks now being issued are for various amounts, depending en- tirely upon the ýweekly saving-of the recipient. Christmas' Savings club members may deposit as small a sum as 25 cents, weekly, or may make it any amount over that desired.. The average amount received by each of the 946 depositors this. year is a littie over $56. This amount, as well as the number of depositors is a material increase over last year, it is announced. Christmas savings funds help to make Christmas dreams corne true. The money thus saved throughout. the year is received at a time when it can be used most advantageously to assure that Vuletide happiness so rnuch desired by everyone. It is a safe means of meeting that insurance premium and other obliga- tions,. and weekly saving cultivates thrift. While rnuch of the Christmas Sav- iiigs money is quickly put into cir- culation through its expenditure for the various oljects for which it was saved, no smail amount of it is re- deposited into. permanent savings funds and investments of various kinds.
