HARTFORD. Dec. 27.-—Because of
a misunderstanding on the part of
some people to the effect that Thrift
Stamps and. War Savings Stamps are

redeemable when detached from the

official thrift card or war savings cer-

itificate. issued to contain these securi-i

ties, the Connecticut W'ar Savings
committee is sending out information

"Ancal‘ing attention to the. Government. 2,

ruling which states that neither Thrift;
Stamps nor War Savings Stamps are;

.cashablc unless they are affixed to the!
‘official cards issued by the Govern-

ment for this purpose.

1 Information which has reached the

headquarters of the Savings Division
shows that some. people have at‘
tempted to cash either their Thrift
Stamps or War Savings Stamps when
mot. attached to cards. When refused
payment they have been rather at sea
:as to why they should be refused. It
*is pointed out that if the people will
lbe sure that these securities are at-
ifixed to the cards issued by the U. S.

today. and an inquest will in all prob-
ability be held next week. Superin-
tendent C. Floyd Haviland. of the hos;
pital. is also making an investigation?

way the local authorities. ‘
