ONTARTO THURSDAY, AUG. 7th, 1958 Record Cargo of Paper Worth About 6 -Billion lnvolved in Conversion Ottawa-With total conver- sions of Victory Loan bonds now well over the two billiondl lar mark, a cargo af paper the equal af a thousand king's ran- soms will begin moving out af Ottawa any day now. Altogether, by the tin'e the Canada Conversion Loan - pro- gram concludes in mid-Septem- ber, the new bond shipments from the capital will be suffi- c:ent ta replace six billion dol- lars worth of Victory Bonds. The record cargo wfil travel express by rail and air, in closely-guarded packages ad- dressed ta agents of the Bank af Canada from coast ta coast. Each package will contain bonds of the new $6.4 billion Canada Conversion Loan in denomina- tions rangîng upwards irom $50 ta $1,000,000. While the ship- rnents will be directed ta the Bank's agents in the major ci- tics, many af the new bonds will find their way ta smailer cities and towns where a great nrany of the estimated two mil- lien Victory Bond holders live. Officiais say that the cargo of bonds will weigh roughly 65 ,.OF.nk pleniy of milk Orwe dore te, venture You'il swap your teeth For a store-bought dent ure. tons. Neyer before in the his- tory oi the Bank ai Canada bas there been a bond cargo of such staggerîng size. Presses at two Ottawa bank- note campanies are working at maximum capacity ta complete the printing ai the new issue. Using paper made for the Bank ai Canada alone by means ai a special formula, they print basic supplies ai every denom- ination. As the bonds came off the press, they are trucked ta the Bank for signing and pack- aging. Nat for another month will the Bank know the precise quantities needed in fifties, hundreds. five bundreds and on up, as awners ai Victory Bonds convert their holdings. Tbètre is the added complication that while most halders wil take advantage ai the four and a hall per cent interest rate thati goes with the 25-year bonds, same will canvert ta the shor- ter terni bonds at a lower rate. Meanwhile, across Canada and particulariy in the smalier centres branch bank managers have expressed surprise at the "waik in"' business which bas greatiy exceeded their expecta- tions. Literally hundreds oi lo- cal people, mast ai whom had owned the Victory Bonds since they purchased them during the war, went ta their bank or in- vestment dealer office immedi- ateiy they beard of the conver- sion programme. Many ai these people are past middle age, officiais say, and are attracted by the bigbh.in- terest rate ta reinvest in the 25-year bonds. Quite a few were delighted ta learn that they could "eat their cake and have it, taa", by taking their cash adjustment ta make sanie im- mediate purchase and then hav- ing the value ai their bond in- tact ini the new issue.

He probobly doesn't exist, aithough there many, especially among the teen-agers, wbo wau- Id stoutiy deny sucb feminine force. These rebels know in their beants it is true but defend their masculinity by their outward deial. They taok a bit ai a beating recentiy in some parts ai the United States wbere newspapers repraduced an editorial frani the Atlanta, G.A., "Constitution" which read, in part: "The facts are in, boys, and you just don't make the grade, As a group between the ages ai 16 and 25, yau think you'ne the worid's best drivers. But the low-down is this-- yau'rs the cauntny's wonst. Tbe facts are in and your insurance rate bas gone up froni 20 ta 50 per cent. "Tbink it aven lads, and dads, The insurance people are no dopes. They don't care whether you're handsome and bave fe- maies in adither, they do flot care whether you bave a piece ai junk iovinÉiy tuned ta a race- way sang. Ail they care about is performance on the road. "Brother, get the low-down ... the girls in your group bave it all over you. Not only in looks, but in intelligence, in self-con- trai, in fair play and in their abiiity ta bandie the bonsepower you can't bandle. Tbat's not aur opinion; it's the considered opinion ai the insurance campa- nies. The rate ai girls in youn own age group have gone down, not up. Tbey are getting ta be better drivers, nat worse." ]Influence A weekiy newspaper at Salemi, N.Y.- The Salemi Press- te- printed those words with tbe su- ggestion that the girls could go beyond this achievement. They cauld, it believes, tunn their in- fluence over the y'oung maies to the promotion of saiety on the bighways. Why do the lads show off, play "cbicken" at the wheel, speed the car, crasb-start It with tires screaming or gravel bursting like bullets? There's only one reason behind their menacing anties . - the girls. Cetainly -tbey're not trying ta influence the insurance compniesheicmerchants i tailorste launderers or lawyers aiong the sidewalk. Says the Salemi Press: "TIt's ane thing ta be criticized by your eiders. It's quite another, and much more devastating ta be criticized by your cantemparar- les. 'It seem.s to us it's uip t iliel gils ta try their influence." Hayride, Wiener Roasti Provide Sbt. Evening fun for Teenagers The summrer mantbs can be pretty dead aiter a wbiie with natbing ta do but go ta bail ga- mes, movies or driving a dis- tance ta dance because there aren't any facilities in town. Feeling this way, several teen- agers decided ta do something about it and held a wiener roast. This is about the easiest thing ta organize with everybodyl chipping in with 50 cents, and a little time ta carry the wood «'ith about 20 peopie atténdin.g. Evelyn Brown organized th e first such party. Wood and food was carried ta the beach at the end of Martin Road where one ai the feiiows, Bob Suttan, an ex-boy scout, lit the fire. Brian Woodcock and Bruce McArthur kept the part:ý alive playing their guitars while the others' sang, roasted wîeners and buns on sticks over the fire, and watched the moon on the water. The night was warm and thje water fiee, but the mosquitos were terrible. Jimi Mastersan decided ta hoid another one the iollowing week and thîs tume, marshmal- lows were added ta the menu. No one had a radia or guitar sa everyone sang ta keep them- selves warm. The weather was a bit windy and cold sa the wood burned fast. By 12 o'clock the beach was cold, everyone maved on ta the Acres ta dan- ce. Last Saturday evenin.g the wiener roasts were put com- pietely ta shame by a hayride,I with real borses, rather than the usual tractor. Fourteen met at Gaud's farm where Ralihi Simipson had the bay on the wagon and the borses harnessed with ted plumes on thebridie. Everyone was rather doubt- ful about the idea, figuring there was nothing ta do but sit and watc.h the houses and trees. That's what it ammounted ta at first until everyane got into the spiuit ai it, People stood at their Win- dows and doors, kids stared at the horses, open-mouthed. Sev- eral dogs couidn't believe their eyes, and took out after the horses. Though traffic was held up for a wie, Bob Fairey and Fred Fisk managed ta bold the cars back until the borses got safeiy onto King Street. Along the way, the wagon stopped at a store and baught ice cream and chocoiate bars. A man stopped along the way and sold a huge water melon ta the hay- riders. No kniie was supplied with it but they finally suc- ceeded in breaking it and show- ering everyone in the pracess. Once back at the farm, aiter all the hay and watermelon had been cleaned off the clothes, they drove ta Oshawa ta Jan-! ice Hurst's home, where she opened the recreatian roani, turned on the record player and everyone danced. The kids who attended these parties and helped ta make them a success and samething to be remembered were, Virgin- ia Brown, Marilyn Welsh, Phyl- lis Nimigon, Pauline Baker, Chris Teras, Shirley Hardy, Janice Hurst, Joan Fice, Rena Dilling, Sandra Hornsby, Mon- ica Schlingentfepen, Evelyn Brown, Judy Sprague, Ethel and Keith Rabinsanf Bob Fairey, Archie Crossey, John Osborne.1 Dbn Farder.
