Haywood Citizens Have
Over 7 Million Dollars
In U.S. Savings Bonds
Haywood citizens still own $7,-1
148.475.25 in Savings Bonds, ac
cording to a report made at Rotary
Friday by Jonathan Woody, in an
address entitled, "Why Buy U. S.
Savings Bonds?"
Mr. Woody gave recognition to
J. E. Massic, chairman of bond
sales in Haywood.
Since 1951, Haywood county
citizens have invested $10,615,
595.25 in bonds, and of that a
mount. $7,148,475.25 of the bonds
are still being held,
"This is a remarkable record.
Also, it is a tremendous back-log i
of purchasing power," Mr. Woody
pointed out.
The speaker said that the a
mount invested in savings bonds
was almost equal to that of the de
posits of the hanks in the county, i
"Such a figure is important, be
cause of its relationship to the
economy of the county. There is a
lot of hidden potential buying
power in more than seven million
dollars." he said.
Mr. Woody also pointed out that
in the past few months the sale
of bonds have been in excess of the
amount of redemption. "This is a
healthy financial condition ? it
means people are saving, and not
spending all they earn. Eventually
this money will flow into the chan
nels of trade, but right now it is
the back-log which all communi
ties need when things begin to get
a little tight."
The speaker pointed out that
sales of Savings Bonds have in
crease! over the nation, since
Congress and the administration
in Washington have pledged to
work toward a balanced budget,
to eliminate extravagant and un
necessary spending, and to main
tain the Integrity of the dollar.
"We must remember there Is
still a war to be won. Our men are
fighting and dying in Korea. Our
armies are lined up against the
Iron Curtain in Western Europe,
alert, for any sudden thrust by our
enemy. Call it a hot war. a cold
war, or what you will?'-it must be
won?if free people are to remain
free."
The purchase of bonds by North
Carolinians from 1B41 to 1952
reached $1,104,296,000, it was said.
