Savings Bonds Memo

Toall regular employees: to buy
Canada Savings Bonds on the
Payroll Savings Plan, just fill out an
application form and return it
before the November 1, 1991 dead-
line. A deduction - you choose the
amount - will then be made from
your pay. Once all your payments
have been made, your bonds will
be delivered to you.

Here’s how it works:

a fill out the application form
indicating how many bonds you
want to buy, and return it to the
Payroll Department

a the college then takes out a loan
on your behalf to pay for the
bonds you’ve purchased

a during the year, the regular
deductions from your paycheque
(about $2 per week for every
$100 CSB) will reduce the loan
until the bonds are fully paid

At the same time as you are
paying off the loan, you’re also
earning interest, because every
deduction starts earning interest
right away. When you receive your
bond, its value will include all the
interest accumulated from the
beginning. m
