Students were eager to join the
March of Dimes this week.
The great achievements made
by scientists in treatment and pre
vention of this disease are made
possible by our small contribu
tions.

The following students had per
fect attendance during the past
six weeks:
George Bell, Wilfred Boucher,

Geometry students are now
studying locus of points. Locus is
a Latin word meaning place. Our
English word location is derived
from this old word.

It takes Jupiter twelve years to
go around the sun. Dividing 360°
by 12 we get 30°, which is the
angular distance that Jupiter
moves in one year. Hence, it is
easy to predict the location of
Jupiter for next winter. It will
be thirty degrees east of its pres
ent location or just below the star
Andromeda.
Dr. and Mrs. M. Kennedy are
off on a vacation trip, and plan
to return in a month or six weeks.

You’re looking at the “stinger” of a B-26—eight
.50 caliber machine guns that could spell eight
kinds of trouble for anyone who tried to attack your
country. You’re looking, too, at a very important
friend of yours. For this young Air Force armorer is
doing a job in defense of America and you.
But defense is your job, too. And one of your im
portant defense jobs is to make yourself a member
of the “ground crew” by buying U. S. Defense*
Bonds regularly. For, remember, it’s your financial
security that helps provide the American economic
strength behind the armed force which protects
j your home.
So today sign up for bonds through the Payroll Sav
ings Plan where you work or the Bond-A-Month
Plan where you bank. You can’t make a better buy
—for Defense Bonds are as safe as America!
I
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense Bonds you’re
building a personal reserve of cash savings. Money that will
some day buy you a house or educate your children, or sup
port you when you retire. Remember, too, that if you don’t
save regularly, you generally don’t save at all. So go to
your company’s pay office—now—and sign up to buy De
fense Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever.
Because now every Series E Bond you own automatically
goes on earning interest (every year) for 20 years from date
of purchase instead of 10 as before! This means that the
bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not $25—but
$33.33! A $37.50 bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your
security, and your country’s, too, buy Defense Bonds now!
*11. S. Savings Bonds are Defense Bonds
Buy them regularly!
