T
Jackson County Bond Com
mittee Points Out Bene
fits Through Conversion.
An opportunity for savings
account depositors to render a
patrotic service and bring actual
cash benefits to themselves was
announced today by the Jackson
county war bond committee,
headed by W. A. Gates.
Through cooperation with the
banks, depositors, if they wish,
may convert their savings ac
counts to war bonds without
loss of interest before July 1,
when banks reduce savings ac
count Interest.
The banks explained that If
the savings account holder
wishes, and notifies the bank
before June 30, the bank will
make out the orders for war
bonds which will be Issued and
delivered by July 1 so there
will be no interruption of In
terest. Mr. Gates said that bonds
draw for the owner interest of
2.9 per cent. He said it is a
splendid opportunity for savings
holders to increase the interest
rate of their money.
Depositors' Idea
The Idea was suggested to the
bond committee by savings bank
depositors and orders for con
version of a number of accounts
have already been received by
the banks. It was. suggested by
the bond committee that because
of the large amount of bonds
to be Issued and the extra work
to the, bank that orders should
be placed at the earliest possible
moment for this conversion.
An example of Interest In
crease was given today by Mr.
Gates. He said a savings ac
count of $18.73 at an average
rate of Interest would at the
end of 10 years total (20.75. In
comparison the purchase of a
bond with $18.75 would at the
end of 10 years have Increased
in value to $23.

a special report today that the
Union for Democratic Action,
which it identified as a com
munist organization, had engi
neered a campaign "to obligate
the congress of the United
States as a co-equal and inde
pendent branch of our govern
ment." "If this movement ever
reaches its fulfillment in the
nazificatlon of the American
government, we shall find our
selves bearing a striking resem
blance to the hateful thing
against which we are now mo
bilizing our total resources," the
committee said.
The committee was created
several years ago by the house
of representatives to investigate
un-American activities, and has
made numerous reports, dealing
largely with activities of com
munists, Japanese and nazis in
this country. It is headed by
Representative Martin Dies (D.Tex.)

housewives may add the sugar
to the foods at home or take
it to the lockers and have it
added there.

sible for farm families and
others not having daily access
to lockers to preserve fruits for
several days until they can be
taken to lockers.
