Connecti cut, may quite possibly result in a close scrutiny by Congress, and perhaps even the Treasury Department itself. • • * And as a matter of fact, it may well be that this financial Insti tution purpose- ly took this step to pro mote such an investigation. * • • .Recently, this banking house adver tised it will ac cept a com pleted book of trading stamps c. W. Hardar as half of an opening savings account of $6. • ♦ • In other words, anyone with a book full of trading stamps, plus three dollars in cash, will be credited with an account of $6. * * • This, then, is tacit admission by a financial institution trading stamps, have equal value with legal tender. * * * That is where fur may fly. * * • Under the U. S, Constitution, t;., re is a stnet prohibition against promiscuous printing of money. In fact, as is well known, the Secret Service for years has been most active in combatting issuance of counterfeit money. * * * Often in the past, there has been the question raised as to whether or not trading stamps did infringe on the laws relating to the pr.intirtg of currency. But it atwTays has seemed to be held as tong as the stamps could only he exchanged for rertain pre- si riliod items of merchandise, they did not fall into a « ategory of unlimited acceptance as is the i asc with legal tor : r.. \. . c«l t><lir '. i. ■ f ' 1 • »• By C. WILSON HARDFR Now, however, this action by this banking operation raises an entirely new concept • , * * * In fact, some observers of this latest facet in the trading stamp phenomena feel that the gov ernment will not be able to Ig nore this situation. * * • Actually, if this stunt spreads widely enough over the country, inflation could b£ given a healthy boost to the further devaluation of the dollar. All over the na tion, people could with three dollars and a book of stamps, ppen a savings account for six dollars, and after a few days, draw out six dollars for the three dollars put in a few days earlier. f * * In fact, going even a step fur ther, it could open a whole new field for counterfeiters as pre sumably any reasonably talented printer could turn out bogus trading stamps by the carload. • * * While the Secret Service does an excellent job in holding down counterfeiting of U. S. legal ten der. it is hardly to be imagined that this fine force would ever be set to work tracking down trad ing stamp counterfeiters. * * * Thus, if the action of this Con necticut banking institution spreads around the country which in essence will result in trading stamps having the valid ity of legal currency, a whole, new enterprise may well be launched . . . that of printing and peddling bogus trading stamps. And while such enter prise would be illegal, who is go ing to track down and prosecute such counterfeiters. It Is highly improbable that the federal gov- errment or state governments will appropriate huge sums for added police forces to hunt down the origin of “queer” trading stamps. This thing really has im mense possibilities . . . could even w rcftfr the mowitby.

Solves Leftover Problem By Nancy Cortar ij; Pamilim of two always have a problem of how to have the king of meats, roast ribs of beef, without being faced with leftovers for a weak after. Here’s a wonderful solution. Just broil the roast! We have done many tests on this method of cooking and all taste-testers agree the meat is superb. Broiling roast has two advantages. First, you can save cooking time. Where oven roasting would take about two hours, broiling takes only about one hour. Second, there is no great problem of leftovers. Just enough meat for a second excellent meal of cold roast beef or roast baaf favorites with everyone. NOW TO Bton A BOAST Buy a top quality 1-rib beef roast cut 2 to 2 H inches thick. This ; 3 poui Kinds. Quality beef is most important. This beef will weigh about 3 poi _ will be clear red in color with a liberal amount of white fat or "marbling’'. In your supermarket, look for beef with the government grade, U. 3. Choice. Also look for the supermarket’s own brand for that is yowr assurance of quality and money back guarantee of satisfaction. Slash the fat edges at 1-inch intervals and broil exactly as yon would a steak. Place meat on broiler rack so surface of meat is S inches from the source of heat. Allow 50 to 60 minutes for rare to medium ram, turning meat once during the broiling period. Carve the meat just as a wt. Have one meal hot and serve cold roast beef a few nights lataw Smith Discharged From Naval Service Clyde H Smith, Jr., son of Mr and Mrs. Clyde H. Smith, of Rt. 2. Clinton, recently received an honor- able discharge after service in the navy. He was processed through the Naval Receiving Station at Nor folk. Va. for young people of senior high and college age cooperatives by seven Christian denominations; Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church; Cumberland Presbyterian Church; Moravian Church in America; Pres byterian Church, U. S.; Presbyte- Jamqs L. Brownlee, told local Ro- tarians that a 20-mill increase might be necessary by 1960 unless other sources of revenue are provided to meet the rising costs of municipal administration. The city clerk said the state should help relieve municipalities by a more equitable distribution of state liquor, beer and wine reve nues. Relief of the situation on a local basis could be provided by expanding business and industrial economy and an increased shop- at-home program. He added that another source of revenue could result from a more equal and ac curate assessment of city property and taxation of those livnig outside the city who receive city services and utilities. Mr. Brownlee said the demand for more service from the city to gether with rising costs of admin istration, supplies and equipment have brought about the situation He said the reduction of the bond ed indebtedness from over $300,000 in 1950 to $80,000 has eased the city financial situation up until now.
