Ever
wonder
where
your
ration
.coupons
go?
The
answer
is
that
your
grocer
takes
your
sugar,
butter
and
other
coupons
to
his
bank,
which
acts
as
the
government's
agent
in
identifying
and
accounting
for
millions
of
spent
coupons.
This
vast
bookkeeping
job
known
as
"Ration
Coupon
Banking"
is
just
one
of
the
new,
additional
assignments
which
the
banks
have
assumed
as
part
of
their
wartime
service.
Another
is
the
payment,
on
behalf
of
the
government,
of
certain
subsidies
.
arising
out
of
wartime
price
control.
Still
another
is
the
handling
of
exchange
transactions
as
agents
of
the
Foreign
Exchange
Control
Board.
r-fr
J-
At
the
same
time
the
banks
have
arranged
facilities
to
serve
military
establishments
and
new
war-industry
centres
alike.
Through
loans
to
industry
and
agriculture,
they
have
helped
to
increase
the
supply
of
raw
materials,
weapons
and
food.
They
have
acted
as
issuing
agent?
for
approximately
$5,700,000,000
worth
of
Victory
Bonds
and
War
Savings"
Certificates,
as
well
as
lending
direct
financial
tid
to
the!
government
through
short-term
loans.
...All
this
in
the
face
of
widespread
staff
changes
resulting
from
enlistments
of
8,360
trained
bank
employees.
The
war
omergency
has
proved
the
readiness
and
ability
of
Canada's
banks
to
adapt
their
services
to
new
conditions.
It
has
proved,
once
again,
the
strength
of
your
banking
system(
which
is
providing
a
Arm
base
of
financial
servico
for
the
greatest
economic
effort
in
