_ Thousands of members of various
fraternal organizations throughout
Connecticut are organizing_w'ar-sa\'-
ingsI societies for the purchase of
thrift stamps and war savings certif-
icates. This campaign has been start-
ed with the approval of Howell (‘hen-
q: director for Connecticut of the na-
tional war-savings committee and it is
expected that many thousands of dol-
lars worth of stamps willbe disposed
of among the members of the differ-
ent lodges. The suggestion has been
made that the different organiza
tions inaugurate contests, and that
prizes be awarded the society mem-
bers of which purchase the greatest
number of stamps. Members have tak
on hold of this proposition with great
enthusiasm, and many have already,
pledged themselves to the purchase of
one or more thrift stamps every week.
