“But the bond program has
been much more than a witness.
It has been an active participant

young people for the challenges
of the future. And today, 20 ex
citing years later, it stands at the
peak of its accomplishment, with
Americans owning mote E and 0
Bonds than ever before,” he point

designated as “hank month” and
tribute will be paid to the banks
of the nation which through the
years magnificently served the
Savings Bonds Program,” Mr.
Roberts said.
The State Sales goal has been
set at $27,400,000, about a 6 per
cent increase over 1960 sales, ac
