save as you go with
Like so many things in life—you
never know how easy it is until
you give it a try.
Everyone wants to save but
some never seem to get around
to it. Buying Canada Savings
Bonds through your Company's
Payroll Savings Plan makes sav-
ing easy but you can also 'buy
them through your banks or
investment dealers for cash or
in instalments.
Hundreds of thousands of
Canadians in every walk of life
are saving part of their income
by the regular pUrchase of
Canada Savings Bonds. These
savings are always available in
emergencies because you can
cash Canada Savings Bonds at
full face value, plus interest, at
any time at any bank.

The word 'hockey' is derived from the 'hooked stick'
with which the game is played, from the Old French
word Ihoqueil, meaning 'shepherd's crook'.
Do You Know . . . that the general idea of ice
hockey is not original with Canada? Many 16th and
17th century Dutch paintings show a game some-
thing like hockey being played with a stick shaped
like a golf club.
Do You Know ...that there are sharp differences of
opinion as to exactly whbn and where the first ice ti
hockey games were played in Canada? Although
Kingston, Halifax and Montreal are most often men-
tioned in this connection, available records seem to
suggest that the first organized games were played
around 1881, between the Victoria Hockey Club and McGill University
teams, in Montreal, and in Kingston between the Royal Military
College and Queens University.
