PEOPLE’S SAVINGS.
BRITAIN’S WONDERFUL RECORD - . « The savings of Britain’s wage-earn-ers—put by in small amounts weekly —increased by more than £55,000,000 during tho last financial year and have reached the total of £1,433,629,000. This record in thrift was announced by Lord Mottistone (chairman of the National Savings Committee) at the National Savings Assembly at Southend recently. “To small investors, to the millions of work-a-dav folk who take advantage of the facilities we offer, savings do not come by magic,” he said. “For that part of tho public with whom we are primarily concerned, savings come by forethought, self-discipline, and by a steady, hopeful confidence in the future of tho nation.

Our movement is promoting that very quality which our country most needs to make its influence good and salutary.
