New rates Canada Savings Bonds for fair rate of return If you hold Canada Savings Bonds, you're probably a little confused right now by all the rate changes that have taken place in recent months. Little wonder since from November 1 last year the rate of return on your CSBs has been increased four times -- from 10.5 per cent to 11.5 per cent during last fall's campaign; 13.75 per cent on April 1; 16.25 per cent on June 1; and now to 18.5 per cent on August a. The latest increase applies for the three months ending Oct. 31, 1981. The rate of return payable after that date will be announced when the terms of the new fall series are made public in September. ' In making the announcement, Finance Minister MacEachen noted that the increase reflects the government's continuing com- mitment to insure that over time CSB holders receive a fair rate of return. For holders of Regular Interest Bonds, the new higher interest will be paid November 1 either by cheque or by direct deposit to their banking accounts -- $144.17 for every $1,000 worth of Canada Savings Bonds you own. On CSBs dated prior to 1977, the higher rate of return will be paid through an increase in the value of the cash bonus payable when these bonds mature. In the case of Series 25, which matures this November 1, the bonus amounts to $10.95 for every $100 bond held. Other issues and their maturity dates are: Series 23 (1982) - $18.15; Series 27 (1984) - $25.18; Series 28 (1985) - $30.65; Series 29 (1983) - $10.60; Series 30 (1984) - $14.13; and Series 31 (1985) - $18.71. In order to receive these bonuses, holders must keep their bonds until maturity.

SiR James MURR » | Not unloaded here Normally it can take as many as 16 members of Local 976 of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks along with almost an equal number of longshoremen, working 15 hours a day for three days, to unload a ship like this in Midland. However the ship, Sir James Dunn, which arrived at the CSL town house elevators on Sunday, left Monday night for Montreal where it will be unloaded. The 600,000 or so bushels of wheat aboard ship weren't unloaded here because of a strike by the BRAC here which has yet to be set- tled. YF But youcan shampoo problems away In a few weeks your children will be returning to school after their summer holidays. In the past several years the com- municable diseases of pediculosis (head lice) and scabies have been problems in the school, especially in the fall. These infestations usually can be cured with adequate treat- ment. If not treated immediately or correctly, the disease can quickly spread to other schoolmates, as well as family and friends. PEDICULOSIS - is caused by a head louse which is from two to four mm. in size, elongated in shape, grayish-white in colour, flat and wingless. The ."live" louse lays nits or eggs which are small and silvery and which attaches to the in- dividual hairs. These nits or eggs hatch in about seven to nine days into new lice. It is important to break the cycle. Pediculosis cannot be caught from grass, trees or animals, but are transmitted from one _ infested person to another by direct contact with the hair or by using the same combs, brushes, towels, hats, scarves, hair ribbons or bedding live, must be removed from the hair by combing or brushing using clean combs and brushes. A metal fine toothed "'nit" comb may be used or the nits can be pulled off the hair. All personal items such as combs, brushes, hats, clothing and bedding should be either boiled or dry cleaned.
