Fleming relis How The Indians Buy War Certificates Indians at Fort MePherson in he North West Territories are liscovering that two muskrat pelts will boy a War Savings Cer- ificate and a brighter future for heir bilîdren. In a letter to G. W. Spinney, chairman of the Na- tional War Finance Committee, Right Reverend A. L. Fleming, Bishop of the Arctic, a former resident of Bowmauville, tells of how in the month of June alone, the Indians purcbased Certificates vorth $3,000. With the increased price of $2 for every skin, ungraded, there bas been a big hunt for muskrats, and mucb of the money has been going into Victory Bonds and Cer- tificates. But, where money bas never been plentiful, there was always the temptation te sell the securities and see what the pro- ceeds would buy. The missionary in charge at F'ort McPberson, who is also the postmaster, bit upon a plan wbereby war savings are bought in the children's names. So, wben Bonds and Certificates mature, money will be available for the boys and girls to, receive an edu- cation and advafltages which tbey rnigbt miss if the bunt was bad or prices dropped. "The Indians," writes Bishop Fleming to Mr. Spinney, "have neyer learned to be thrifty. They are dependent from year to year on their hunt. Now, througb the War Savings plan, tbe mission- aries are teaching tbem the value of baving some protection againsi the future." Another way te help win the wam is that the womking man must remember ta work ail the time. Instead et countinÈ shecp in erder te go f0 slecp, you mighf try remembering the oumber et peo- pic riding in the bus. We are getting accustoed fo big figures.
