Boyd Urges Public
To Buy New Type
U.S. Savings Bonds
P. B. Boyd, Chalrmanofthe
U, S, Savings Bonds volunteer
committee tor Warren County,
today urged bond buyers to
take advantage of the new
higher annual limitations on
holdings of E and H Bonds
which have been announced by
the Treasury Department. The
new regulations provide that
eligible purchasers may own
up to $20,000 maturity value,
in Series E Bonds bought in
aiiv one calendar year, and
^ob,000 , face value, in H
Bonds. Previous limits were
$10,000 and $20,000, respect
ively.
Calling attention to the fact
that the Interest rate on Sav
ings Bonds was recently in
creased to 4.15 percent, Mr.
Boyd called the new purchase
limit "an unusual oppor
tunity" for both Individual and
Institutional investors to be
come "larger shareholders in
their country."
Under Treasury regula
tions, any resident of the Unit
ed States, or citizens tem
porarily residing abroad, may
own Savings Bonds in a choice
of registrations: single owner,
co-owner, or beneficiary.
Where bonds are purchased
in the names of two indivi
duals as co-owners, each may
hold the maximum amount of
either E or H Bonds, or both.
Bonds may also be owned by
corporations, associations,
public or private organiza
tions, fiduciaries, and other
Investors except commorclal
banks.
"U. S. Savings Bonds have
always been considered an
ideal investment for the or
dinary saver," Mr. Boyd said,
"particularly because of their
safety, guaranteed return,
and tax advantages. But I be
lieve there is an Important
place for Savings Bonds in the
larger investment portfolio,
too, whether that of an indivi
dual or an institution. I hope
that the Increased limits on
holdings will encourage many
such investors to put part of
their funds into these securi
ties of our country."
The Treasury's amendment
on the holding limitations also
included a new provision on
Savings Bonds presented as
gifts to charitable, religious,
educational, and certain other
non-profit organizations that
qualify under Section 501 (c)
(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954. This permits
such organizations to receive
up to $200,000 In Series H
Bonds purchased In any calen
dar year.
The doctor's telephone rani
at three a. m. A woman'
voice asked: "What do yo
charge for a house call?"
"Ten dollars," the docto
mumbled sleepily.
"And how much for an of

"Five," muttered the doc
tor.
"All right," the woman sail

Formed At Littleton
B.\ Rl I'll MINCHKR
Liiiiieiun? i muugn tne ei
forts of a lot of people, par
ticularly the 17 members, the
Warren County Rescue Squad
has become an organized
group, with two ambulances,
new uniforms and dreams of
a building in which to house
their equipment and am
bulances and to have their
meetings.
The ambulances were both
gifts?one came from Blav
lock Funeral Home of Warren
ton and Littleton, a gift of
Dorman Blaylock and the other
was presented by the Roanoke
Valley Rescue Squad.
This Squad assisted the
Warren County group to
become organized.
Their new uniforms consist
of green trousers, white shirts
and green insignia for the
front and back of the shirts,
and white coveralls.
The Warren County Rescue
Squad is an organization that
is most needed now that Lake
Gaston has become so popu
lar. . .the lake borders their
working area. Their work will
not be confined strictly to
accidents on the lake, how
ever, but it does give a feeling
of security to those enjoying
the lake facilities, to know that
an able and Interested rescue
squad is within easy calling
distance.
"We are presently in the
process of buying new equip
ment," Captain Bill Reid says.
"We plan sometime in the
near future to have some type
of fund-raising campaign."
Several much-needed do
nations, in addition to the am
bulances, have been given to
the squad. . .and will be put
to use immediately. A gift
of $275. was presented to the
squad by the Horace Palmer
Jr. Post, 308 of the American
Legion in Littleton.
Stanton Viveretteof Enfield,
owner of "Timberlodge" one
of the most attractive places
on the lake?has contributed
$125. to assist with the build
ing of boats for dragging. He
also has offered the useof any
of his boating equipment, for
use when needed.
The gift from the Horace
Palmer Jr. Post will be used
to help purchase a resuscita
tor.
Reid points out that the
present members have all just
recently completed the stand
ard and advanced courses of
first aid and have taken "res
cue training" from members
of the Roanoke Valley Rescue
Squad, -who have been very
kind about assisting in any way
they could
The ambulances have been
housed in the old fire station
in Littleton and during the
winter months, the squad has
been meeting in the Epworth
Enterprise Community build
ing. . .as a result, they have
been helping to fix up tne
interior of the clubhouse at
night after their business
meetings.
For obvious reasons, how
ever, the squad needs its own
"headquarters and they now
have the land on which to build.
Anyone having any kind of con
tribution they would like to
make, may contact Bill Reid,
or any member of the squad.
Any kind of building material
will be appreciated or money
to help towards the purchase
of these things.
In addition to Captain Reid,
other officers include: Alfred
Cooke, Lieutenant: M. J.
Spragins, secretary - trea
surer; Simmie Isles, squad
sergeant, and Conzell Little,
Chaplain. Read Robinson is in
charge of publicity.

Members of the squad ex
press their deepest apprecia
tion for the contributions and
the help that has been given
them. Most of the money they
have received will go into
equipment for the two ambu
lances. All contributions,
whether in money or mater
ials, will go into the making
of an up-to-date rescue squad
for the area, the members say.
