They heard a call and pit on navy blue, khaki, horizon blue, and they have gone, answering a call .. .

But every branch manager, as he shook parting hands, had this consolation: he could say to every regular member of the staff of the bank, "We'll hold your place. It will be waiting for you when you come back. That is a pledge." So it is the part of those who remain to serve tll,eir"'tountry.in such a way that the promise may b:ekept: "We'll hold your place." There were 14,433 single and married men from 18 to 45 years of age employed by the Chartered Banks at the outbreak of war. 5,053—or 35% of them had joined the armed forces by,October3111,_19,42;._ , "• .:" The CHARITEREDBANKS of CANADA DANeE IN T ieman's Hotel, Dashwood ON PRIDAY EVE.
