The fact that the Canada Savings Bond is backed by the resources of the.Dominion of Canada makes it the safest of all inâ€" vestments, and comparison can only properly be made with other Dominion of Canada issues. A useful comparison in respect to yield is found in the 3% Dominion of Canada bonds maturing in . 1959 and callable in 1956. The theoretical yvield on these securities â€" ‘currently stands at approximately 243%. Thus the yield on Canada Savings Bonds of 2.:75%, plus the feature of redemption on demand at any bank at 100%, makes the new security more attractive than any similar investment available today. i The abovre request is being made this week by the Kiwanis fi Pa C in the Porcupine Health Unit, in Novemâ€" order ‘that all crippled ‘children may benefit, the Kiwanis is asking the public to submit the names, address and nature Ouf disability of any children with limb or bone disabilities, club fest, bowai legs, hare lips, cleft palates or other similar crippling that is required from you is information concerning any children who may need help.

The Kiwanis Club, in other words, is sharing the work with the Health Clinic â€"â€". all Mr. Stepehenson points out, further, "that on many occasions such el@ctions have been avoided by ‘conferences‘ among the nominees." Surely, if a town council is worth having at all,.it is worth the cost "and trouble of an election. It is only by such elecâ€" tions that candidates are forced to outline their programs ‘to the voters, It is only after such cl:ctions that candidates can fes! that they have the approval of the people. Without an election, the vote, as an instrumeht of democracy, becomcs impotent. ‘"Kapuskasing has had two municipal elections in the past 17 years," a news story in The Northern Tribune of that town stated lakt wiek. The story also announces that "The proprietorâ€"editor of The Northern Tribune expects to be a candidate for a seat on the Kapukasing town council this November." We congratulate Editor Ed. Stephenson on his decision, and agree viith him that "any talk of ‘forcing‘ an el:ction, by reason of one or more new candidacies. for the six council seats, is a line of bunk not worth expressing or listening to in any democracy." _ Following are the terms of the Canada Savings Bond as announced by the Minister of Finance. â€"Backed by the resources of the Dominion of Canada. â€"Interest 2%% by annual coupon. â€"Price 100%. a â€"Holdings by any one person limited to $2,000. â€"Redeemable at 100% plus interest at any time at any branch in Canada of any chartered bank upon identification of the registered holdeér;â€" Interest calculated monthly. â€"Datedâ€"November, 1, 1946, maturing November j;, 1956 â€"Nofi;pauable by the gmzemmex;t ".if is ;,‘,,;,_- uk z. _.;}_ t '@@@assxgvnabl Rang. :. -â€"mfigisfei'ed as bo principal ; us *’ in dqnomlpatloqstof $50, ,$100 $500‘-’.. $10008 " .. is a i A" â€"Available ‘commencing ‘October 15th fihnk‘s, Ruthoriaed â€" 43 investment dealers, stock brokers or trust =or loan companies, or through employers on the Payroll Savings Plan.

Can. didates who expect to be nominated would be w:ll advised to be at the nomination meeting. For if they are nominated for more then one office and do not resign from all but one of them at the nomination meeting, they will able to qualify only for the office for which th‘y were first nominated. It would be possible, under the pew regulatiuns, to "quecer‘ a nominee for mayor by nominating him for council at the very beginning of the nominaâ€" tion meeting and keeping him hogâ€"tied in th> basement so that he could not withdrawâ€" theâ€" nomination.. â€"By doing this the nominator would not. only prevent a nominee from qualifying for mayor, but would provide a very good story for The Advance. Readers are therefore <request:id to keep this in mind. Oh, yes â€"â€" and another thing: before the nomination meeting, the prospecâ€" tive candidates should obtain a certifiâ€" cate as to payment of tax?s on proâ€" perty on which they qualify. In some cages, a small outstanding balance might prevent the issue of a tax payâ€" ment certificate andâ€"prevent qualificaâ€" tion. Under the new regulations, the treasurer aind tax collector are required to attend the nomination meeting one hour before it begins for the purpose of furnishing csrtificates that there are no unpaid taxes at the time of nomina~â€" tion for any preceding years against the land in respect of which the canâ€" didates qualify. ‘ Net proceeds from the sale of apples on the Boy Scouts‘ "apple day‘"‘ on Saturday were $417.32, it is announced by the executive of theâ€" local Boy Scouts Association..

The executive has ekpressed its thanks to the public who responded so generously to the campaign and to the radio and press for publicity given, as well as to the owners of the Empire theatre who donated the use of the building for the day, to several good friends who helped at headquarters and elsewhere, and finally to the Cubs, Scouts and Leaders who worked faithâ€" fully all day. â€" C VUiIL _ VA .
