Con vert Victory Bonds Urges Finance Min ister Finance Minister Donald Fleming Local residents who have yet to convert thein Victory Bonds were reminded this weekc that deadline day is just around the corner. Finance M inister Donald Fleming, reporting Tuesday night in a special address that more than three-quarters of the Victory's have aiready been ex- changed for Canada Conversions Loan bonds, said he hoped that no one would miss out on this "unpnecendeted oppontunity". He added that efforts were being redoubled in the few. days ieft before September l5th1 to bring the oppantunity to thel attention of anyone st ili own-1 ing Victory Bonds bere and in> other cities, towns and villa- ges across the country. Pointing out that thousands of Canadians will have retura- ed from vacations durîng these last few days, the Finance Minister said he hoped that al would rnake conversion a mat- ter of immediate concern. "I urge ail those who have not yet grasped this opportunity ýo do so while -there is stili Part of the Minister's remanks were aimed at bondbolders who may have feit thein own holdings of Victory Bonds were too smail to be wortb conver- ting. He stressed that regard- legs of size-$50 or $500, or $5000-it is to the owner's advan- tage to exchange bis aid bonds for new ones yielding a bigher neturn and in addition neceive a cash adjustment. He said, fao, that some Can- adians may not yet realize they own Victony's and suggesed that everyone holding government bonds of any description check the serial numbers. If any num- bers begins with "L7", "L9", "ýP3", "P5" or "P7", it means that bond is a Victony. Mn. Fleming aiso neminded Canadians who do not own Victony Bonds that they, too, can share in the ncw lban. Vie- tony's eau be bought at any bank on invcstment deaier, gi- ving the buyen the right ta con- vert. The Finance Minister said that the conversion total achiev- ed ta date meant that the loan was aineady a tremendous suc- cess, and pointed out that it represenfcd an a c complisi- ment in governiment, financing unmatched in scale by any other country in the western world. He addcd a note of special in- tcrest ta smail communities tbrougbout the nation, by cm- pbasizing that the boan would help remove market uncentain- tics arising out o! the immin- ence af large Victony Loan mat- unities and ta that extent as- sist in the planning or develop- ment projeets by municipali- tics.
