Bingles of aluminum and brass in
the denominations of standard money
are now being issued to colonists
in amounts equal to their budgetary
allowances. They will greatly sim
plify the matter of keening accounts,
especially as regards the dealings
etween colonists. Heretofore it
as been necessary for the aceount
ng department to imfro charges a
gainst one colonist :nd credit an
ther for such things as direct milk
purchases and the like. Now the
bingle will be- the medium, of ex
change directly between the p.rties
concerned.
In suite of the fact that only a
colonist can use tne Dingles lor
purchases at the trading cost it is
very nrocable that they will becone
"Hatanuska Valley Honey'* before
long. Already one taxi nan has of
fered to accent them for his ser
vice .
