Treasury warns against Savings Bond chain letter schemes
The Department of the Treasury and Postal Service warn that chain-letter schemes using U.S. Savings Bonds violate postal lottery and fraud laws. Such schemes are illegal whether or not mail is used, risk state or local law violations, and undermine the Bond Program. Banks may refuse to sell Bonds if used for chains. The Savings Bond Division issues periodic warnings about these illegitimate schemes.

Screwworms found in New Mexico raise 1976 count to 29
USDA APHIS Screwworm Eradication Program reports July samples from seven animals across four counties in New Mexico confirm screwworms. Dr. David Mitchell notes the seven month tally nearly matches 1966 figures as the program, using sterile male flies, continues control efforts. Maggots emerged from sheep and a bird skin sample, with lab identification confirming screwworms.
