"Good! I'll send you my cheque today! Most people today pay for goods or services by cheque --because most people have 'a bank account. It's the simple, safe way to transfer money to any person time. at an e next cheque you put in the mail, or cash at any branch of a chartered bank, will be one of one billion that pass hough the: banking system each year, These familiar sl ps of paper represent 90 per ° cent of all financial payments made today, and their fast, efficient handling by the chartered banks is essen- 12? tial to bank customers, indeed to the whole economy "of the nation. To handle the ever-increasing flow of cheques--and to maintain standards of efficiency in the clearings-- the chartered banks have introduced magnetic ink encoding to be used in high-speed electronic sorting. This. new method, called MICR, makes possible a faster, more accurate service to customers, and main- tains your chequing account as one of the cheapest, 'most convenient basic banking services. : THE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY through full-range banking responsive to growing, changing needs oa, Loy FW Lie Yu gt SN ER Tar a Sm a Sl Further to the Resolution passed at the Inaugural Meet- ing authorizing the Reeve to appoint the township members of the Joint Committee on An- nexation, the Reeve re-appoint- ed the 1963 members--namely Reeve Goodwin, Deputy Reeve Dryden and Councillor Sturch.
