Last® week a fourth form High School boy who had employed the {‘l1mmer months gainfully by working at the Dome and saving his money, was patriotically moved to invest this money in a $50 Victory Bond. He went to the Bank â€" received his bond in an envelope marked with his name â€" and went to school. On the way, in some manner the envelope and bond were 1ost. We hate to think that anyone after knowing the facts would keep this bond. and the finder is honest he has only to phone the school or the police to find the owner.
