National War Savings; Quota Successes
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday Outstanding success marked the national war savings quota operations for the- first week of the new financial year, 143 places, including 16 of the 18 provincial centres, having attained their quotas. Although the number of successes is the highest recorded for several months, this is not the only gratifying feature. The 15 postal districts attained their full district quotas sufficient surpluses having been recorded at some places to offset deficiencies at others. At Darfield (Canterbury), for example, where the weekly quota is £39, the sum raised last week was no less than £2037, which is £9 in excess of its annual quota. Another notable feature of the week’s operations was the attainment of the weekly quotas in the Auckland and Christchurch metropolitan areas, where for some months the investments had fallen short of the. prescribed amounts. At Christchurch, where the weekly quota is £7450, the results were exceptional, investments for the week having exceeded £40,000.
