As the books will be closed at the end of the current week all employees on the LongLac payroll who are still interested in making "last minute" purchases are requested to contact the Personnel Office tn the event that canvassers have completed their work in the particular department where the employee is working. Bonds may be purchased in denominations of $50.00 up to $1000.00 in any one name. They carry interest for a ten year period at 22% and may be cashed at any bank at any time for the full face value plus interest to date. Since Canada Savings Bonds are backed by the entire resources of the country there is no finer investment and for many of us saving by the Payroll Savings Plan is the only way to save regularly. 0-0-0, TWO DAY LEATHER SLIPPER MAKING COURSE UNDERWAY Commencing this morning in the Recreation Centre, approximately eighteen ladies of the community commenced a two-day Leather Slipper Making Course under the sponsorship of the Terrace Bay Women's Institute. The instructress for the course, Miss Audrey Spencer of Toronto, is associated with the Women's Institute Branch and Home Ecoriomits Service of the Ontario Provincial Department of Agriculture. Miss Spencer is one of nearly forty people working for the department who instruct in such subjects as food,.crafts, clothing and family living, all part of the regular Women's Institute program. Courses covering such subjects as indicated above are conducted in hundreds of small communities throughvul the province. The cost of the service thus rendered is assumed by the Department of Agriculture. The cost of the two-day course to individuals participating is only 25¢ plus material. It is particularly interesting to note that this is the first time that a craft instructress has been brought to this new community, and from the interest cxhibited there is every reason to believe that the many craft minded people at Terrace Bay will want to receive instructions in different crafts as leaders are available for the purpose. 0-0-0 COMMON SENSE PREVENTS ACCIDENTS
