New industries, new communities, new

Canada moves on with amazing strides.
And with this expansion come added calls
for every form of banking service. Your
chartered banks have moved ahead in step
with these growing requirements. That is why
it now takes 45,000 men and women to do
the banking of Canadians — almost double
the number of ten years ago. That is
why there are now 3,700 branches to serve the
expanded needs.
Wherever initiative and growth demand it,
banking is there — claiming your
continued confidence.

$5,000,000 is needed to support
Red Cross services for Disaster, Veterans,
Free Blood Transfusion, Outpost Hospitals
and Civil Defence Training. *
As they pray for peace,
Canadians turn unafraid to
the tasks and duties of the
preparedness prudence urges.
In cities and towns every
where, quietly yet earnestly,
they are laying their plans for
effective Civil Defence.
Well in the forefront of this
planning is the Red Cross.
Through past testing times,
your Red Cross has met each
challenge to the full. If history
repeats . .. with your help, your
Red Cross will not fail.
That help is needed now to support
the vital role the Red Cross must play
in working for the aid and protection of your
loved ones, your hon\e and community.
Give now ... keep your Red Cross strong to
meet the call of duty.
