Lab- ■ our Party has subscribed £IOOO to the ■ Victory Loan —"An example of backing 1 the attack that the supporters of every political party might well emulate,” ; comments a committeeman. ’ One Month’s Interest There is still time to change over to j National Savings from Post Office Sav- ; ings Bank accounts and earn a full i month’s interest. Any deposits made or • any transfers effected on Monday, 2nd : October will carry the full interest for the month. Hon. W. Black, M.L.C., Says: “I am going to ask everyone to join in victory by investing in the Victory Loan. Victory, that should inspire us. Victory and peace, mean such a i lot to us all. Think of all the happy re-unions. Think of the tremendous ; sacrifice that has been made. Think of a new world order in which we hope poverty, fear and war will be banished forever. Then ask yourself the question, ‘What can I do to help in reconstruction?’ ‘What can Ido to help deserve victory?’ * ______
