to sell a block of a new issue
Of Sears, Roebuck g. Co. secur-
tiles carrying a coupon and
priced to return 4s4 per cent

A half-hour later. a mort

bank and offered to sell an
FILA insured mortgage carry
ing a 5N per cent rate Of in
terest and due in about the

mortgage broker gets q half
per cent service fee for ham
ding the transaction. the bank
could earn only Az per cent
ON that mortgage and the an
nual return would be further
reduced by the banks own
supervision expenses.
Also last Tuesday. a third
broker called that bank. offered

ing AZ per cent. On this mort
gage, the bank figured supervi-
sion expenses would cut the

Trick or Treat Will Aid UNICEF

The Trick is to Treat the Needy Children of the World" is the slogan of UNICEF, (which is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) for this Halloween. Local organiza- tions and churches are co-operat- ing in the drive to secure funds for this needy cause.
 Sponsoring groups are Church of God, the Kodiak Christian Center, Community Baptis Church; and the On-Base P.T.A. on the Naval Station.
 When your doorbell rings on Halloween, watch for the "Ghost" or Goblin" with the UNICEF milk carton bank, and help UNICEF ward off the ghosts of hunger, disease and suffering, :" say the sponsors.
 Children and young people in Kodiak will meet either at the Assembly of God church on Mission Road near Spruce street or at the Community Baptist Church on Mill Bay Road between 6 and 6:30 pm. on Halloween night, where UNICEF coin car tons will be distributed and they will be assigned their territory for collecting. A party will be held at these two collection centers for children who are not going to the high school carnival at 7:3O pm.
 This kind of Halloween trick or treating was started in one community in 1850. In 1853 all 48 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Hawaii and the Canal Zone participated, and $99, ,O00 was collected. In 1857 Alaska began to take part and last year, Kodiak participated when the Womens Missionary Society of the Com munity Baptist Church with Mrs Ellen Dawson as chairman, pro- noted the idea with around 40 boys and girls collecting. $13O was sent to UNICEF.
