BLIND CITIZENS ARE CARED FOR BY CNIB COMMUNITY CHEST THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, Ociober 14, 1055 7 (Lights Still Burn On Christmas Tree DECATUR, Ill. (AP)--Lights on a withering Christmas tree were burning, as they have for nearly five years, when Mrs. Luella Miller went to meet a train at the De- catur railroad station this week. Mrs. Miller decorated the tree for Christmas, 1950, when her son, PFC. Clifford Sapp, then 19, was in Korea. She vowed to keep the '| tree up until he got home. In January, 1951, the army noti- fied Mrs. Miller that her son was missing in action. But she held out hope, though she had no further word until about a month ago. Then the armed informed her that the body of a soldier killed in Korean fighting had been identi. fied as that of her son. A casket containing the remains was on a train arriving in Decatur today.

In- struction is given in useful crafts | and vocations by which they can |earn a living. Home instructors make regular visits to the homes training in various fields of ac- tivity suitable for the sightless. The aim of the Institute is to help these people overcome their handicaps, to make them self-reliant and seli- confident, and where it is at all self-supporting. py This is a noble work, and well worthy of the support of the citi- tributions to the Community Chest. Bank Of Canada Boosts Charges By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--The Bank of Canada has boosted its interest charges for the second time in two months in an apparent government move to restrain credit buying, raise interest rates generally and prevent a drain of foreign invest- ment in Canadian enterprise, The central bank's interest tolls for loans to chartered banks was raised by one-quarter per cent to! a record 2%. This follows an in-| crease of one-half per cent last Aug. 6. As usual the bank gave no rea- son for its action, but federal offi- cials observed that Canadian in- terest rates have been among the lowest in the western world. For- eign investors had been cashing in some of their Canadian holdings and taking their money elsewhere to get higher interest yields. Officials said the bank's action may tend to put a few more brakes on credit, but they felt Canada's booming economy is strong enough to withstand a few. light punches without reeling. INFLUENCE BORROWING While chartered banks usually do not borrow much from the central bank, changes in the central rate influence borrowing charges gener- ally, especially on loans extended for short periods. A rise in the rate is a hint to lending institutions to tighten up on loans; a drop signifies an en- couragement on loans expansion In the six months preceding last August the government, through its monetary adviser, the Bank of Can- ada, had been pursuing an easy money policy, to encourage an ex- pansion in loans to pull the econ- omy out of its 1954 doldrums. The bank rate was dropped to 1% per cent from two per cent where it had been pegged for the previous five years. But the economy appeared to be expanding a little faster than an- ticipated. There were some world signs of inflation, particularly in Britain and Europe.
