DIN you KNOW that your U. S. Savings Bonds
will go on earning money for you-even after
they've reached their maturity date?
Did you know that you can get back as much as
$3.50 for each dollar you invested in those
Bonds-just by holding on to them?
Under the present Bond lac The maturity period
Of Series E Sarings Bonds has been extended a
fall 10 years. There's nothing to sign-no pisii
to the bank required. You just hold on to your
Bonds and let them go right on earning extra
money for you.
With this extended interest period, your Bonds
can now earn up to 800 more than you orig.
inally paid. For example, if you invested $3.50
in Bond in 1915. it's worth 5000 today. But
If you hold it for 10 years more, it will be worth

.AAA Bourd Unit
Backs Present Law
To Speed Bridge

The executive committee Of
the American Automobile Asso-
cations District Advisory Board
has urged the Army Engineers
to try to clear construction OF
the proposed Jones Point Bridge
within the framework Of the
present legislation"
AS now written, the bridge
bill would require a vertical
clearance Of approximately" 40
feet and a navigation clearance
between bridge piers of approx
|imately" $50 feet.
Federal road officials believe
this language would permit clear
ances Of so feet and ITS feet.
The ITS feet between navigation
piers, however, still is short of
the distance requested by navi-
cation interests. The question is
whether the Army Engineers will
issue q permit for construction
within the existing legislation.
or whether the bill must be sent
back to Congress for a change.
The AAA unit urged that
every consideration" be given
to working out the cIearances
within the present legislation so
that; construction contracts may
be let lat the earliest possible
date"

The firms must pay. in addi-
ton, 20 cents per 500 of gross

stamps. The spokesman. Horace

burden on merchants of the city
E. Waller Dudley, attorney fol-

On Norfolk Bond Sale

Terms of Deal Were Less Favorable

ton program. Mr.. Hudgins noted
that the successful Norfolk bid
was made by q five-member Vir-
ginia syndicate and asked, docs
this result from a political lever?"
Ask Longer DeliberatiOn
The staff was instructed to ask
Mr.. Alexander if in future bond
sales the school board can
arrange for from "a to 40 hours
elaboration.
Mr.. Alexander said today that
bids had to be acted on the day
they were opened because notice
|of the bond sale specified that
the award would be made or
declined on that date.
Mr.. Alexander said he was
asked after the bid was opened
whether the school board could
consider it for two or three days
and he replied that could not
be done because Of the language
of the sale notice.
Mr.. Lory said it was likely
Norfolk had a better financial
rating than Fairfax County,
which might account for the
cheaper interest rate in Norfolk.
Mr.. Lory recalled that the
week end before Fairfax sold its
bonds a delegation from Fairfax
visited New York and was told
that there would be economic
sanctions against Virginia by
New York bond houses because
of the States new anti-:ntegra-
ton laws.
The board authorized the staff
to advertise for bids on four
new school projects as soon as
plans are ready. The four, to
be financed from the So million
issue sold last week, are three
room addition to Louise Archer
Elementary; Wakefield Elemen-
tary, eight rooms: Kent Gardens
Elementary, 20 rooms, and North
Graham Road Elementary, %
rooms.
The board modified its previ-
Gus policy Of placing all first
graders on halliday sections,
except in rural areas, by per-
hitting the school board to make
exceptions of those schools where
new classrooms have been COM
pleted and continued halliday
shifts are impractical because
of dificulty in arranging sched-
ules.
