NATIONAL SAVINGS
137 TOWNS FLEW FLAGS LAST WEEK Wellington, This Day. National Savings flags flew' in 137 towns last week as an indication that the citizens had done their full share in the war savings effort. In many other towns which did not quite reach their quotas the “money balls” root* high on the Post Office flag poles, inchoating that they had come very close to breaking out their flags. Towns which flew their flags for the first time were: Ruawai. Leigh, Kirv ee. Ohura. Raglan. Plimmerton and Waikanac. Towns which have now been successful at least once number 285. Several of them have been successful every week, while others have failed to reach their quotas on only a few occasions.
