Bond Holders Given Options
Winston-Salem, March
20—The millions of holders
of U. S.-Series E Savings!
Bonds received good news
from Congress last week,'
according to a statement
made today by William H.'
Neal, Winston-Salem bank- (
er and chairman of the Ad-|
visory Committee for Nor
th Carolina of the U. SJ
Savings Bond Division.
“Congress has passed un
animously and sent to the
White House for signature!
favorable legislation relat-j
ing to the extension of
maturing E Bonds. These
bonds were first offered to'
the public in 1941, and the,
first maturities will be due
next May. Congress has
provided three options for
the holders of maturing E
Bonds:
“1. Holderss may receive
full cash payment at any
bank or financial institu
tion which is an authorized
pafing agent. However,
once the bond is cashed, itj
cannot be reinstated for!
extension. Therefore, hold
ers should consider care
fully their future plans be- 1
fore cashing matured ■
bonds.
“2. Bonds may be held
after maturity under anj
automatic extension for,
up to ten years. Bonds so 1
held may be redeemed at
any time, and for the first
7T2 years will earn inter
est at 21-2%. If held for,
ten years after maturity/
the bonds will earn 2.9%.
For example, a person who
in 1941 invested $75 in an'
E Bond, will be entitled to !
receive SIOO in 1951. If he
holds the matured bond for
another ten years, he will
receive $133,33,
“3. Matured E Bonds
may be exchanged for Ser
ies G Savings Bonds in
amounts of SSOO and multi
ples thereof. G Bonds pay

Roberts and Mr. and Mrs.
Ivan Westall were the week
end guests of Mr. and Mrs.

Pictured above is the Warren Wilson College Choir which will present
(horal selections at the Presbyterian Church here on Friday night, April 6.
The choir is made np of 30 students of the college who come from ten states,
Cuba and Puerto Rico. In June of last year they sang 'at Ocean Grove, N. J., in
the Auditorium which seats 10,000 people. They are invited to appear at the
Presbyterian General Assembly at Cincinnati on May 25, where they will sing
some of the same selections which will be given here. Besides singing regularly
for school squires at Warren* Wilson, they also appear for regular ho&rital ser
vices at SWannanoa and Oteen Veteran Hospitals. r Y
The choir is under the direction of John L. Connet, and the accompanist is
Christina P. EUassen. * <

SUB. RATES $1.50 YEAR.
21-2% interest annually,
and if obtained under this!
exchange option, would be |
'payable at par on one cal-!
lendar month’s notice at the
holder’s request any time
I after six months from the.
date of issue. This type of
'exchange would be advan-j
' taceous to anyone who
I wishes to receive the inter-,
est on his bonds earh six
months, rather than have
it accumulate.
I “It is believed the news
lof this legislation will be
received with interest and
satisfaction to all holders
of series E Bonds. It is em
| phasized that bond owners
have the privilege of hold
ing on to their bonds, but
are under no obligation to
do so.”
