NEW ISSUE SAVINGS
BONDS THIS FALL
The Bank of Canada announced on
behalf of the Minister of Finance that
arrangements are being made for the
offering of a.-third series of Canada
Savings Bonds this fall, Terms of the
new issue will not be finally establish-
• ed until later, prqbahly some time in
Septernber. 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.

pany gathered at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. G. Simmons-li to bring theiefeon-
gratulations, good wishel and" gifts,

FROM DROWNING CHURCH SERVICES
Donald Biggs Remembers Life Saving
Methods To Save Gerrie Storey
;Gerrie Storey, 10-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Lou Storey, Wingham,
had a narro-ar escape from drowning
on Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
when he was rescued after a struggle
by his chum, Donald Biggs, aged 11,
son of Mr. and Mrs, Percy Biggs of
Wingham, who used life-saving meth-
ods he had learned through his read-
ing.
Both boys were swimming in the
Mill Race leading to the power plant.
Gerrie found himself in difficulty and
cried for help. Donald went to his aid
and seized him as he was-sinking for
the third time, but was grabbed round
the neck and pulled under„ water by
the Storey boy. The stream is about
eight feet deep at this spot.
Both boys locked together were
carried under the bridge, but Donald
who had been reading recently how to
save lives in the water, kept his head
and, making use of the lessons he
had, studied, managed to break the
victim's hold and bring him to the
bank below the bridge where he was
found to be unconscious,
Two small daughters of Sheldon
Baker notified Mrs. Storey, who
called her husband from work, Dr,
B. N. Corrin administered first aid
and the boy_was soon brought around
again.
