The loan, however, will be offered in two maturities of 16â€"yearâ€"andâ€"one month issue and & 3â€"yearâ€"andâ€"tenâ€" month issue. Both types of bonds will be dated May Ist, 1944, An issue bearing three per cent will be offered at a price of 100 per cent maturing at 100 on June 1, 1960, and a shorter issue bearing interest at one and threeâ€"quarter per cent at a price of 100 per cent maturing at 100 on May 1, 1947. On the three per cent bonds the first interest coupon is for a period of seven months and for the one and threeâ€"quarter per cent issue the first interest coupon is for a period: of four months.

Ralston, acting for the Minister of Finance, stated that our Canadian forces overseas, from all indications, would particiâ€" pate in the near future in Eossibly the heaviest fighting in the war, and went on to say it is the duty, responsibility and privilege of our people to see that this loan is fully subscribed. That the necessary money is at hand is best expressed by the fact that reports of savings deposits in Canadian chartered banks is at an allâ€"time high and that notwithstanding the fact that Victory bonds to the value of $2,â€" 500,00,000 have been purchased within the past year there remains in the savings accounts as at Febâ€" ruary 29th, well over two billions of dollars.

This was sent to| the Provincial Council of Women and it is expectâ€" ed that it will be brought to the attention of the Provincial Govâ€" ernment at their next time of meeting. It was requested that a copy of ouy resolution be sent to you with the hope that you would use your influence on every posâ€" sible occasion to have the Women‘s Beverage Rooms closed. Respectfully, Laura Chisholm, Corresponding secretary. The women‘s beverage rooms are regarded by many health workers to be a contributing factor in the spread of venereal diseases and beâ€" cause of this danger the Local Council passed a resolution asking that they be closed, which has been sent down to the Provincial Womâ€" en‘s Council, who, in turn, will preâ€" sent it to the Progncial Governâ€" ment at their meeting in May. Health authorities are publishing the facts of the prevalence of venâ€" ereal diseases all across Canada, in fact Dr. H. M. Tory, of Ottawa, says "the importance of informing the public cannot be overâ€"emphaâ€" size\‘P in the face of what is reâ€" garded now as an epidemic."

There is a dire need for men in regiments all over the Dominion. Owing to indifference on the part of citizens who are eligible only for home service, the majority of units are at halfâ€"strength. Yét if there were a sudden call for reinforcements overseas, the duty of defending Canada against sabotage or other national emergency would rest on the Reserve Army. The war is far from won, and every redâ€"blooded Canadian who cannot go active, but who desires to play his part, can help by preparing himself to frustrate the enemy on the home front.
