WORLD THRIFT DAY
OBSERVED BY THIRTY NATIONS (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, October 31. (Received Nov. 1, at 5.5 p.m.) A world thrift day is being celebrated by 30 nations to-day. The Postmastergeneral (Major G. C. Tyron), in a letter to the chairman of the National Savings Committee in connection with this celebration, emphasises that its aim is not to promote saving as an end in itself. True thrift, he says, means wise saving for wise spending. In a speech yesterday, Lord Eustace Percy, referring to the national savings movement, said there stood to the credit of people of small means in Britain £2,723,000,000, representing a growth in five years'of £548,000,000.
