NEW CANADA SAVINGS BONDS ON SALE SOON It has been announced by the Hon. Douglas .AJbbott, Minister of Finance that a second series of Canada Sav- ings Bonds will be placed on sale on October 14th. Mr. -Abbott pointed out that this will enable tlie continuance of the Payroll Savings Plan now in operation in thousands of organizat- ions throughout the country, and will also permit its installation by other companies who recognize its value. The new Canada Savings Bonds will also be available for purchase by the not i-ecommend that it be taken over general public, who have found them under the Hospitals Act. Mr. Kelly i to be a convenient and profitable in stated' that while that may be the case, consideration would be given by the Department, as the Hospital was a going concern and he would not wish to deprive the people of hospital care near their own homes. To take the hospital over would necessitate certain changes and tlese would re- quire considerable thought. Following d'ue consideration of the problem, Mr. Kelly stated that he would be pleased to go to Markdale and present the decision of the De- partment to a public body so that prompt action may be taken to as- sure the continuation of the hospital. There is a great need for a hos- pital in this area and the Markdak- hospital has been giving real servic = to the district people. It is hop- ed that some way may be found to enable the Department of Heath to assist in the purchase of the build- ing and equipment. 51 Potatoes In One Hill Apparently the potato crop will be real good this year and there will be plenty of "spuds" for next win- ter. Last week Mrs. Wm. Semple of the 12th Line, Osprey, dug a hill of potatoes and couned 51 tubers in the one hill. They had been planted three pieces to the hill. This appears to us to be an exceptionally high yield. The potatoes are of a red variety, but the name is not known. Mr. anvl Mrs. Geo.

They will be avaiidible for cash or on in- stalments. The minister of Finance describe<i the feaures of the second serie osf Canada Savings Bonds, which will be dated November Ist, 11)47, and will bear interest at 2%% each year for ten years. They may be radeemed at any time at any bank in Canada fo, full face value plus interest and will be registered in the owner's n.n: affording protiection against loss. No more than $1,000 ,of this series may be registered in any one name. Mr. Abbott said that the offering of this second' series has been promp- ted by the reception given to Canada Savings Bonds since their introduct- ion last October. I^urchases haiVe been made by more than 1.200,000 Canad- ians. This total includes 623,840 ermployees who used Payroll Savings Plan facilities provided by their employers. Although the decision to offer a second series is based primarily on demonstrated public demand for these facilities, it was e.x:plained by Mr. .Abbott that the Government also has in mind the value of widespread hold- ings of Canada Savings Bond's in the national economy. Present holdings have already rendered more than a million Canadians better able to meet personal emergencies or to carry out personal plans. Sush personal re- sources are regarded as an element of >ti ength and stability in the nation. .Arrangements for the sale of tlie second series will be made by the Bank of Canada, and will be similar to those followed for the first series. It is expected' that authorized sales agents will include investment dealers and banks and other savings institu- tions. Enqiuiiy indicates that em- ployers and the executives of labor organizations, who have consistently provided leadership in the develop- ment of the Payroll Savings Plan, will join again in ensuring that its benefits ct>ntinue. Mr. .\bbott stated that it is confidently expected that Canadians will aigain recognize this fine investment opportunity and will make plans to take full advantage of it.
