New higher
interest rates on
Savings Bonds
and Freedom Shares
Now U.S. Scivings Bends pay AVaVo,
new Freedom Shares pay 5%.
Today, Savings Bonds are a be+fer investment than
ever. Now they pay 4'4 % when held to maturity. And
new Freedom Shares pay a full 5% when held to
maturity.
Freedom Shares are still sold on a one-for-one basis
with Series E Bonds, but now you can buy the com
bination any time at your bank—and not just on a reg
ular monthly plan as before.
The higher interest rate on Savings Bonds applies not
only to the new ones you buy, but to your older ones
too for their remaining period to maturity—generally
effective with the first full six-months interest period
beginning on or after June I. (Outstanding Freedom
Shares are not affected).
Buy Bonds and new Freedom Shares—help yourself
even more as you're helping your country.

I Birth control pills neither cause
permanent sterility nor enhance
fertilit.v. This is what Dt-. Bon '/.■
Taber, of Palo Alto, California,
told physicians attending the In
ternational Fertility Conference
here, citing data gathered from
more than l'K),0(IO patient cycles
of women using a low-dosage
combination pill over a four-year
periofl.
“The interval between the pill
and suhsef|uent ovulation ipro-
duction of the ovum in the month
ly eyelet...is comparable to the
postpartum interval between de
livery and the return of fertility,”
Dr. Taber observed. cThe ovula
tory function dm's not always re
turn abruptly. . .hut may return
gradually within a few cycles.”
' In otlier words Itotli pregnancy
and the pi!!, which resembles
pregnancy in some ways, may de
lay the r.'durn of a womt.vi’s fer
tility.
Among women wliu took tlie
pills for a year or less, 49 per
cent of pregnancies occurred
within three montlis after dis
continuing contraception; 7,3 p<‘r
cent occurred within six months;
89 per cent within 12 months and
99 pin-cent at 21 months, accord
ing to the physician.
A 19,")I study of the return of
ovulation to 68 women who had
just given birth and were not
nursing their babies showed that
.36 per cent ovulated within three
months of deliv'cry, wliile S6 per
cent showed evidence of ovulation
within six months.
A 19,311 study of 1727 women
who had u.sed a variety of meth
oils of contraception showed the
following: 61 per cent became
pregnant within throe months
after discontinuing contraception;
79 per cent by 3.3 months.
Dr. Taber, medica] director of
a company tlrat manufaclures an
oral contraceptive, luged physi
cians to stress patience when
counselling the woman who has
discontinued oral contraception
to become pregnant. "The major
ity of couples will hi' -successful
within six to 12 montlis,” he
said.

RALEIGH Advertising can|
be of great aid to you, the con
sumer. For no matter how much
advertising is "praised or pan
ned,” it is a necessary part of
tire American way of doing busi
ness, Mrs. Justine J. Rozler, ex
tension home management spec-,
ialist. North Carolina State Unl-j
versity, observes. '
Advertising aids in the distri-|
bution of goods produced in our,
free economic system and helps
us all enjoy a higher level of liv
ing, she notes.
The cost of advertising a pro-'
duct nationally is a part of its
production cost. Manufacturers-
add advertising costs to the costs;
of equipment, raw materials and
labor. However, by advertising,;
the producer is usually able to
produce and sell a larger quanti
ty of goods, Mrs. Rozier explains.
He may be able to buy raw ma
terials at lower prices because ho
' buys them in larger quantities,
i And if he makes a really goixl
product, you are probably buying
it as inexpensively as you could
without advertising, because oth-
ers are buying it, too.
When a retailer advertises, he
also hopes to increase business
volume, so that all his costs, in-
; eluding advertising, are more-
than covered and his business
will make a profit. The more he

sells, the less the cost of adver-i
tising per unit of goods sold. I
Mrs. Rozier says, we enjoy ra-'
dio and television at no directi
cost to us because of advertising.!
Newspapers and magazines alsoi
cost us less than they 'vould lf|
they did net contajn advr ’tSing.i
In addition, advertising lets us
know when new products are
available on the market. It should
give us the facts gbout various
items we wish to buy and should
tell us where to buy the product,!
what the price is and when thej
store is open. '
Consumers will do well to look
for the facts of advertising and
to not be mislead by glamorous
words or endorsements. When
reading an advertisement, Mrs.
Rozier suggests you look for the
name of the product; the name
of the manufacturer; location of
store or stores where the product
is sold: description of the pro
duct. including sizes, colors and
special features; and full price of
the product.
“Since advertising is so import
ant, it’s up to us to use it wisely,”
Mrs. Rozier believes.
