mood, That tie people of Bogalusa are
lams, believers in saving money is best evi
e. denced by the fact that approxi
mately $23,000 is deposited with
the Postal saving banks through
the local postoffice. This is said to
be the second largest deposit of any
OVE postoffice in the state and Post
master Wilcox believes that he will
be able to increase this amount to
1e- $30,000 in a very short time as the
result of a new ruling which will go
into effect- on July 1 where anyone
can deppsit with the Postal savings.
Heretofore the postoffice could only
ag a open accounts with patrons of the
s i, office. This will permit people from
keen small nearby towns, where no regu
ring lary designated pcstal saving bank
ag is located, to take advantage of the
