Show Sale of Savings Bonds Increases in Utah "Purchases of savings bonds in Utah continued upward during March, the month's total of $1,-745 $1,-745 624 exceeding March, I960, by 7 per cent," it was announced by County Bonds chairman F. A. Wardlaw, Jr. "According to the sales report released by the Utah Savings Bonds Division, our volume was the highest for any March since 1956, which is in line with sales nationally. Our 3 months total reached $5 million, equalled by only one other similar period since 1956," he said. Salt Lake county sales were reported at $729,565 for March, bringing the 3 months total to $2,257,104, or 28.4 per cent of the county's 1961 goal. Chairman Wardlaw also has called attention to the recent Treasury announcement that all Series E bonds bought between May, 1941 and May, 1949, have been granted another 10 year extension of maturity and during this second extension will return 3 per cent each year, compounded com-pounded semi-anually, based on the full extended maturity value as they enter this second period. During April the U.S. Treasury Treas-ury is saluting the role of the women in supporting the savings bonds program. The chairman pointed out that "women have earned thanks from the Treasury . on three counts in the Savings Bonds program: as individual buyers, as family budgeters, encouraging en-couraging their children to save and their husbands to join payroll pay-roll savings plans for the auto- matic purchase of savings bonds and as volunteers, both individually indi-vidually and as members of . organizations or-ganizations backing the bond I program." |
