Bond-A-Month Plan Sponsored By Local Bank Beginning today, more than 90 per eent of the commercial banks of the nation will offer the new Bond-a-Month Plan for the auto matic purchase of I S. Savings | Bonds, according to a Treasury De partment statement in Washington. The Bond-aMonth Plan, as ex plained by W. Frank Forsyth. Cashier of the Citizens Bank & Trust Co. is simply this: A deposi tor signs a form authorizing the bank to debit his checking account with the purchase price of a bond or bonds of the denomination he desires issued to him each month. The bank delivers the bonds monthly, free of charge. The Plan. Mr. Forsyth explained, was originated by bankers and was tested across the nation before the Secretary of the Treasury asked all banks to offer it to depositors with checking accounts. Authoriza tion forms and franked envelopes for mailing bonds are supplied by the Treasury Department to the banks. The executive council of the American Bankers Association pledged the support of member banks to the plan, as a valuable aid I in the management of the national I debt. "Heretofore", Mr. Forsyth con I tinued, "only employees in estab ' lishments where the Payroll Sav ! ings plan is made available have I been able to buy Savings Bonds ; 'automatically, through allotments! . from their pay. The Bond-a-Month , Plan extends a similar privilege to i bank depositors to whom the pay- j roll plan is not available, including | I owners and employees in small ( business and industry, professional | people, independent business men ? and women, farmers and others ! | who are self-employed. Since the secret of successful saving is regu- 1 I larity. I know this plan will prove ! j a boon to these citizens, helping | them to build security, realize their dreams and build up buying power J for the future. Ask your banker i.bout the Bond-a-Month Plan." | SPONSORS WEEK STUDY The Rev. and Mrs. Francis Coch- ' ran recently sponsored a large uroup of young people from this i county for a weeks Bible study at Lake Louise conference grounds and hotel at Toccoa, Ga.. which is a project by Le Tourneau, the well known Christion worker and in dustrialist.
