ings rates. This is due to the slow maturing of the bonds, Aker indicated. The Banker also doubted the reduction in maturity date from 5 yrs., 10 months, to five years would up the sale of local bonds very much. At the old maturity rate the bonds yielded five and one half percent interest over the maturity period. The national increase will be retroactive to Dec. 1. Both old and new bonds will bene-

The Treasury Department said the higher interest on bonds will be accomplished by having a shorter maturity date. What this means for the bond purchaser is that a $25 bond costing an initial $18.75 will mature to $25 in five years from date of purchase instead of five years and 10 months. The increased interest was made necessary by rising interest rates throughout the economy, which threatened to undermine the savings bond program.

cages, aquariums and general supplies but the people seem to be waiting until the last day or two to actually buy the pet. “We do have some cages put on lay-away. Only occasionally do people put a specific animal on lay-away, though,” said Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas said owning and running the pet shop is sort of a child’s dream-come-true for her. She said she has always been fond of pets and she studied biology in college, so she really enjoys her work. Some general rules to keep in mind when considering any animal as a pet for a child are: •Pets are living things and should not be over-handled.

•Don’t let the animals get under the Christmas tree. Ornaments and decorations are hazardous playthings. Wrapping string, ribbon, cord and tinsel are enticing toys to small animals. Chewing these things and swallow-

ing them can result in painful constipation and serious internal problems, according to the Animal Protection Institute of America. •Artificial snow is poisonous to animals and mistletoe is poisonous to cats.

• Playing with or chewing frayed light cords can cause shock or even death to small animals. • Be sure to teach the child the correct way to care for the particular animal he or she receives.
