Page CAUTION PUBLIC AGAINST CHAiw LETTER SCHEMES The U. S. Treasury is cautioning the public against the current rash of Savings Bonds "chain letter" schemes. "U. S. Savings Bonds themselves are an absolutely safe investment, free from elements of risk because the principal and interest are fully guaran- ; teed by our government," A'r- '• nold J. Rauen of McHenry ' state director of the U. S. 1 Savings Bonds division, said today. "However, these schemes •; for acquiring savings bonds | 'for no' hing' are a riskv gamj hie." ! He said that "the Post Office department's experience ' with endless chain schemes ! over a period of mam' years i is that most participants lose 'their entire investment. This WINTER WOES vruy?v\ i A citizen, Worthington Barr, Went to work without chains on his car, He slid on the snow, Which cost him some dough, Much more than the chains would, by far! PREVENT THOSE WINTER DRIVING WOES The National Safety Council says: "Always carry a pair of reinforced tire chains. In deep snow and on ice they help you go and stop more safely." Winter tires aid in mild-to-medium •now, but do not replace need for tire chains in severe snow or ice conditions. Don't be a traffic blocker.

The Treasury department, through the (Federal Reserve bank, has instructed banks and other issuing agencies to reject applications for the purchase of savings bonds where the applicant states, or whore the issuing agent has reason to believe, that the bonds will be used in the chain j letter scheme." j Ho reported ihe Treasury's ! stand was taken some, years I ;igo when the chain letter de- i vico involving savings bonds was first brought to its attention.
