Mr. ' Towers 'stat'ed that the great majority of business execu- tives evidently intended to operate the •Payroll Savings Plan for the benefit of employees. - "Sales to the general pub1o," said Mr. Towers, "will be madeby official agencies including approximately 3,000 trust and loam companies and other savings institutions, In. addition, authorized` investment dealers have 'appointe'd approximately 6,200 sub -agents to act for them in maka'ng widespread distribution of Canada Savings Bonds." iOfficia.l,h of the Bank of Canada stated that the effect of the limit of $1,000 placed on holdings in any one name would reduce the total dollar sales in comparison to the results obtained last October whensales approach- ed the five hundred million dollar mark. It was expected. however, that the number of purchases alight. equal the =expected response to the First Series of Canada Sav- ings Bonds when over one million two hundred ;thousand applications were recorded. It is evident from supplementary requisitions re- ceived that official sales agents look for a widespread demand from the general public and that many Payroll Savings establishments expected ipaitieipation by ,their employees to exceed participation: in the First Series. An interesting feature revealed by reports is that some com- panies fwhieh did not operate the Payroll Savings Plan last year have decided to install it this year. • The Second Series of Canada Savings Bonds bears interest at 234 for 'a period of ten years. A limit of $1,000 has been placed on holdings 1'n any one name. All bond's are registered in the owner's name but may be cashed alt any time for full face value, plus interest, at any basik in Canada. This year's slogan —'"You'll never be sorry you saved!" — is a very apt one, and one con- taining a full measure•'of truth. © 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT THOUGHT I+`OR TO=DAY • Imaginationis as good as many voyages—and how much cheaper!

It was the so-called "peace" movements of the twenties and thirties that eventually paved the way for ,the rise of Fascism and Nazism, resulting in a world holocaust. ' The 'strike of +paeking house workers will produce a crisis for the farmers of Canada, and ,the sooner the latter stand on their 'hind legs and do a little battling en their own, the better it will be for everyone concerned. Wh'alt would tJhese same strikers do if the farmers acted in kind and shut off their supply of food? The greed for power of union officials +seems to .transcend all other con- siderations—national and otherwise.
