Now your U.S. Savings Bonds pay the highest interest in history: a full 5 per cent when held to maturity of 5 years and 10 months. (4% the first year; 5.20% thereafter to maturity.) Previously, these Bonds earned you only 4*^4% if you held them for seven years. The new interest began June 1, 1969. So all of the Bonds you own, ®o matter when you bought tliem, have been collecting higher interest since that time. Tliose Bonds are still replaced if lost, stolen or burned. You can still buy diem through Payroll Savings or the Bond-a-Monlh plan. Regardless of your other invest ments, can you tliink of any easier, belter, or safer way to build a nest egg for yourself? It’s nice to know that you are doing a little something for Uncle Sam, too. The $52 billion in U.S. Savings Bonds now outstanding in the hands of millions of Americans go a long way toward keeping your country financially strong. There nev’er was a better time to take stock in America. Tliere’sanianat the place where you work who can start you on the Payroll Sav ings Plan right now. Bond, are safe. If lost, stolen, or destroyed, we replace them. When needed, they can be cashed at your bank. Tax may be deferred tmtjl redemption. And always remember. Bonds are a proud way to save.

People tell us it’s charming. And warm. And they love our little “star,” Jeff. , y But as much as we appreciate your com ments, we’d rather have something else, i We’d rather have your money. ^ You see, the whole point of our coj’Tr-iercial is to raise money to build a chapel. I A nondenominational chapel. So the kids at the Morganton School for the Deaf will ha^.-e a place to pray. ' Right now we’re forty-eight thousand dol lars short of that goal. And our television com mercial, which has been running for several weeks, has, gotten us a disappointing’y .'■nTall amount. And it’s our fault. Because even though the television and radio stations gave us a lot of free time to get our message across, we didn’t make that message clear enough. So let’s clear it up right now: There are 618 kids in Morganton, North Carolina,who have been deprived of their hear ing. And that’s unfortunate. But what’s even more unfortunate is the fact that tliey’re being deprived of the word of God. Please help them. Contributions are tax deductible. So send a nickel, send a dime, send a dollar, send anything to Chapel for the Deaf, Inc., c/o Hargrove Skipper Bowles, Box T-3, Greensboro, North Carolina 27402. Hear? 9 N
