why he so readily accepted the CO.
craftsmanship post, he said, 81
recognize Coach Snavely as one
whose leadership qualities are not
confined only to the task of pre-
pairing athletes for contests of ply
sical prowess, but his leadership
extends to preparing young men
for social living where he was
again a dynamic force; for Carl
Snavely, in addition to being an
scholar and a leader of men. He de-
serves all the honor and recogni-
ton that living men can bestow
upon living man."

How Safe Is A
Savings Bond?

How safe is a United States
Savings Bond? 1t is absolutely
indestructible says Martin j. john
son, County Bond Chairman.
what this means is that the
Savings Bond, figuratively speak
ing cannot be destroyed. Literally
it can be and is. You can burn
it up. 1t can be eaten by mice or
termites, as some are. 1t can be
lost and never recovered, or stolen
and redeemed. No matter what
happens to it, however, the reg
istered owner can receive a new
Savings Bond dated to coincide
with the original" he said.
Over a million duplicate Savings
Bonds have been issued for those
lost, stolen or destroyed. Savings
Bonds themselves give greater pro-
lection than money, for money
can't be replaced once it is lost.
During disasters, such as hurri-
canes, and floods, thousands of
dollars are lost forever.
Bonds, too, are lost in such dis
asters but the Treasury keeps an
accurate register of ownership.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1959-11-28

is relatively easy matter to look
up the purchases of an individuals
Savings Bonds and issue new ones
if the owner has not redeemed
them.
Robbers will not take Savings
Bonds because of the safeguards
set up around cashing Them"
Johnson said. "They know it is
one of the surest ways of getting
caught. Newspapers carry occa-
sional stories of banks being
robbed, safety deposit boxes being
looted and Savings Bonds strewn
all over the place, even torn up in
anger by the crooks. This is one
piece of paper that has the respect
of criminals" he added.
Yes, United States Savings
Bonds are absolutely indestruct-
ible and another good reason why
they are Americas safet invest
ment.
