pany is.. stepping up its fight to

tough" policy,' telephone com
panh officials said this week that
149 coin telephones had l>een

months of 19G3.
This compares with 220 pay
Telephones damaged and robbed
during the entire 12. months of
last year. In nearly every case,
damage to telephone equipment
far exceeds the value of coins
stolen.
The company sustains a loss
of about $200 In property
damage each time a coin tele
phone is looted. Thus, In 1962
Carolina Telephone lost about
$?44,000 in property damage to
robbers; and at the present
pace, tins amount will be ex
ceeded this yea&r
Five-point Program
A five-point program has been
adopted by Carolina Telephone
to reduce these losses.
1. A $100 reward will be paid

Savings
On Rise In
County .
New York, May 13 - Savings
are building up at a rapid rate
in Franklin County.
According to a new survey,
teleased by the Federal Re
serve system, savings bank ac
counts' in the local area are
larger than they have l>een in
some time.
Increases have been noted,
also, in other forms of sav
ings -- Government bonds, sav
ings and loan shares and the
like.
The savings trend appears to
l#? national in scope, m vary
ing degrees, It is In progress
In most parts of the country,
the reports from the Federal
Reserve and from other sources
show.
The effect Is that the American
people have l>een salting away
some $26 billion a year for the
last two years and are now
sitting pretty with a record
$314 billion In liquid assets
in iheir4hands.
In Franklin County, as In other
communities, the amount that
people are able to save depends
on their income. .Those with
very small earnings can put
aside little or nothing.
On the average, it found,
families with after-tax Incomes
5f $5,500 save 5.4 percent .of
it, those with $7,000 nearly
i.O percent, those with $10,500
i bout 16 percent and so on.
How much have Franklin
bounty families' been saving?
On the basis of their average
llsposable income of $3,674 per
lojjsehold, as reported In the
ast buying power survey; at
he rate of 3.2 percent.
It amounted to savings of ap
proximately '$1 18 per family
n the year. Assumed is that
he local pattern of saving, for
ach incora^ group, conforms
/1th the national.
For the community as a whole,
he grand total for the year is
st i mated at $824,00(0.
For banks throughout Frank- .
in County, the Federal Reserve
eports that time deposits,
fia'de up mostly of personal
avings, rose' from $3,781,000
D $4,459,990 in the two years
nding, June 1962.
Various explanations are ad
anced to account for all this
irift? One is the fact that in
omes, In most Instances, have
one up and, therefore, more
loney can be put aside.
Anpther is that thrift institu
lons are paying higher interest
ates. As a result, they have
een siphoning off funds that
