Ford Dealer To Terminate United States Postal Savings certificates totaling $167.00, which are on deposit at the Col lege Station Post Office, will cease earning interest for thirty- one local depositors on April 27, 1967, Postmaster Ernest Gregg said today. Nationwide, the Post Office De partment is holding more than $90 million in the now obsolete program which was discontinued by the Congress on March 28, 1966. As of April 27, a year ago, Postal Savings were discontinued, and no deposits were accepted by the Post Office Department. Certificates whose anniversary dates have been reached since last April 26 have earned their final interest payment. Postmaster Gregg said. On June 30, he said, all remain ing funds in the program will be turned over to the Treasury De partment to be held in a trust fund until liquidated. There they will remain available for payment without time limitation whenever proper claims are received. Postmaster Gregg urged that all Postal Savings depositors close out their accounts and invest their funds into United States Savings Bonds or the new Freedom Shares, which on May 1, will pay 4.74% interest.
