Ranged on one side were those who believed that maximum sales called for vigorcus action--the enthusiastic uses df press, radio, 'parades, contes®s, public addresses and intensive personal contact by hard-driving salesmen. In opposing ranks were those who believed that Canadians did | not need this so-called "ballyhoo" to rouse them into action --that citizens of this country were intelligent and would buy bonds just as freely without benefit of these stimulants. That controversy was" never settled in wartime. But the sale of Canada Savings Bonds in October may reveal in a small way the merits of the belief that Canadians know how to help themselves. The forthcoming bond offering will not enjoy the urgent sales atmosphere of Victory Loan issues, nor the use of the vast sales force which used to knock at practically every door in Canada. Except for the organization of payroll sales by employers and a partial coverage of the general public by the staffs of investment dealers, citizens will act strictly on their own initiative, They will make up. their own minds about buying and how much they shall buy. Of course it will not be just to compare the results of past Victory Loans with the results of Canada Savings Bond sales. Behind the purchase of Victory Bonds was the desire to perform a patriotic duty, to take an active part in win- ning the war, as well as the desire to build up a reserve of savings. In wartime, the government of the people urged Canadians to buy all the bonds they could afford. Now, citizens have but one reason to buy Canada Savings Bonds-- to help themselves; to carry on the habit of saving money, of building up a greater personal security, in the same way they found so beneficial in war days. And this time there will be no great sales pressure, and no urgent appeal by the Government to buy for the sake of the country. The sale of Canada Savings Bonds will truly be a chal- lenge to test the degree of initiative possessed by individuals of this country in their own interests. For Crippled Children A total of 49,432 crippled children have been cared for during the past 16 years under service club auspices, by the Crippled Children's Society of the Province of Ontario, ac- cording to statistics released recently. Of these more than 12,800 have received orthopaedic treatments, and most of them have been enabled to get about on tfleir own. Inci- dence of T.B. has fallen from 7.6 to 2.4 per cent and rickets likewise from 5.3 down to 2.8, largely due'to medical care provided by the Society and backed up by such organizations as the Rotary Club which has as its chief humanitarian en- deavor the help and treatment of crippled children. It is pointed out that in surveys conducted by service clubs, on a county basis, an average of four crippled child- ren per thousand have been found. The aim has been to find cases early, determine correct diagnosis and apply curative methods under skilled orthopaedic surgeons, Results, to say the least, have been amazing, and parents in homes where polio has stricken one or more children have written of their profound thanks for this great humanitarian undertaking. It is one of the finest services being rendered children in Canada today for there is perhaps nothing more distressing to watch than a crippled child.

This week, Cunard White Star Line announces, workmen at Southampton are une boxing the furnishings and install. ing them aboard for the "maiden" voyage six years delayed.

Anoth- er said she had 12 pounds of salt, Whoever else might go without, the Harpy and her family would have more than their share, It is well known that many short- ages are caused by greedy buying, rather than by any falling-off in the supply of the scarce commodity; indeed, some commodities which are sald to be scarce are being supplied to the stores in greater quantity than last year. But the Grocery Store Harples snatch such com- modities as soon as they are put on the shelves; the Harpies have plenty of time, and infinite pati- ence, and no sense of decency; they do not care what happens to oth- ers, so long as their cupboards are filled with three or four times as much produce as they need, / eo 15 Years Ago J.

A gift of some part of your estate, if practical and desirable, through a trust set up during your lifetime, is one of the methods by which you may effect substantial savings in the succession duties payable on the final settlement of your estate; in addition to conferring immediate benefits and a measure of continuing security on your beneficiaries, We invite you to consult our estates planning service.
