Ever wonder where your ration coupons go? The answer is that your grocer takes your sugar, butter and other coupons to his bank, which acts as the govern- ment's agent in identifying and accounting for millions of spent coupons. This' vast bookkeeping job —known as "Ration Coupon Banking" — is just 'one of the new, additional assignments which the banks have assumed as part of their wartime service. Another is the payment, on behalf of the government, of cer- tain subsidies arising out of war- time price control. Still another is the handling of exchange trans- actions as agents of the Foreign Exchange Control Board. At the same time the banks have arranged facilities to serve Mili- tary establishments and new war - industry centres alike. Through loans to industry and agriculture, they have helped to increase the supply of raw mate- rials, weapons and food. They have acted as issuing agents for approximately $5,700,- 000,000 worth of Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates, as well as lending direct financial aid to the government through short term loans. ...All this in the face of wide- spread staff changes resulting from enlistments of 8,360 trained bank employees. The war emergency has proved the readiness and ability of Canada's banks to adapt their services to new conditions. It has proved, once again, the strength of your banking system, which is providing a firm base of financial service for the greatest economic effort in the nation's history, and will with equal resourcefulness meet the challenge of the years ahead. with their own husbands." Cherry met his look squarely. "Actually I am, as it happens. Not so muck from convention, but be- cause I prefer to be with my own husband. But meeting you is rather different. There—there are one or two questions I want to ask you." Jerry frowned. "I don't think I like the sound of that. Then you're not lunching with me because you find my charm so irresistable?" "I didn't find it irresistible when I first met you through Denise. I don't see quite why I should find it any more so now." "Don't you? I thought it had strengthened, Seriously, Cherry darling, you did want to see Me junta little, didn't you?" "Oh, yes, I wanted to see you But not, to be frank, for quite the reason you imagine. Jerry, listen you and Denise went off together, didn't you? Were you—were you. there when she was killed? I mean well, did you actually see it happen?" Jerry stared at her. "I say, what is all this? Are you suggesting I went off with Denise?" "Well, didn't you?" "God forbid! My dear, child, Denise was all right for a bit of fun. I was quite fond of her in a way, but 'L 1 most assuredly neves+ contemplated running off with her. Heavens above did your 'husband think I'd bolted, with her?"

Some time ago it gave $25,000. worth of dental equipment for use in the camps, and has under-. taken to repeat this gift, upon learn- ing that the need is urgent. 1 A wounded Bombardier, writing to This parents in Brighton, England from a hospital ship in the Mediter- i ranean, says: I" have now had an opportunity to see for myself how the Red Cross works, and believe me, after snyexperience of them on this hospital ship, I have nothing but the highest praise for them. When I arrived in the ambulance at the ship a small bag containing cigarettes, • sweets and a bottle of eau de colonge was put in my hand. Shortly after- ward the Ward sister came round and gave us all 20 cigarettes and matches. There is a daily issue of sweets and razor blades. Today we are landing and have received sweets, shaving soap, toothpaste, and various, odds and ends which are a real Godsend. There seem to be no end to their kindness and thoughtfulness."
