However, it is expected that the new security will retain the feattres which proved so popular in the first two series. Since the introduction of Canada Savings Bonds in 1946, applications for the first and second series have totalled mote than 2,100,000 to a total value in excea of $818 million. The decision to issue a third series is 'bas- ed mainly on this widespread demand, It was also believed that a savings instrument with the features of Canada Savings fonds would serve a tiseful purpose by eying further stimulus to the savings tendency developed by Canadians during and since the war. Present holdings have already tender- ed more than a million Canadians bet- o tenable to meet personal emergencies or to carry out future -plans. Such in- dividual and family resottrees are an eleirte.tit of strength and stability hi the naafi. On Sunday, July 11, a happy com- pany gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
