are glad that the amount had that 50 at the end no doubt there would be quite a number that purchased a fifty dol jar bond and everyone doing ao can have the satisfaction of knowing that their fifty was the one that made that last fifty possible naturally when thinking of purchasing- bonds we like to think of buying at least one thous and dollars worth at a time but when these bond drives come along twice each year many of us havent a thous and dollars lying around to invest in each loan so we do the next best thing and buy whatever we can afford may be k is merely a one hundred dollar bond each time or perhaps it may be only a fifty dollar one we are apt to think that our uttle fifty or one nun dred looks very small when compared to the objective which was twelve hundred million however taken collectively those smallersiaed invest ments amount up to quite a huge total often too the purchaser of the fifty dollar bond may have needed that money for something else more so than would qie person that could buy the thousand dollar bonds locally we can be proud of the results of the bond drive and the same goes lor the grand total for the dominion as well it was interesting to read of the pur chases of huge amounts by the larger concerns of the dominion but it was also interesting to know that the smal lu chcbch will use bdgewo0d park fob camp arrangements have been made by the camp committee of the lutheran church of the canada synod to hold their annual summer camps lor boys and girls at ektgerwood park eden mills this year at the annual ses alons of the canada synod at ayton the camp committee will recommend the purchase of this property as a per manent camp site for the summer camps of the lutheran church the lutheran summer camps were organized nine years ago and since thai time have conducted camps for boys and girls of the lutheran church of the canada synod ontario and quebec at the woodstock y2jlca camp site at fishers glen on lake erie lack of sufficient time at that site to accommodate the wishes of all groups in the church desiring to hold summer camps led to the committees recommendation of edgewood park as their own site edgewood park- has heen

that may be needed we sincerely hope that it may be a news item in the globe and mail states that since the beginning of this present year victory bonds to the value of 45 000 00 have been stolen in the city most of these thefts were from homes throughout the city bearer bonds are handy and can be sold if the need arises with less trouble than can registered bonds however the bearer ones are very handy for the thief and it might be a good idea to mention once again that if your bonds are of the bearer variety be sure they are stored in a safe place plac ing them in the top drawer of the desk or dresser lsn t the best place for them by any means the ideal place for them is in a deposit box in your local bank if you are unable to rent one of these we understand that ar rangements can be made to have the bank store them lor vou anyway many of us have gone without certain com modltles that we really wanted in or der to purchase our bond after hav ing done this it does seem foolish to leave those same bonds lying around the house where they may be very easily picked ip bv somcbod or wher thev ma very enslly be lost or damag ed by fire ministerial discuss subject of religious
