WAR SAVINGS
DUNEDIN’S £IO,OOO WEEK By special announcement elsewhere in this issue, the public is asked the question—" Would you sooner pull your weight in Dunedin’s £IO,OOO week, or pull a Japanese Rickshaw? ” That statement is full of advice and common sense. The Pacific situation is more than a challenge to our armed strength. It is a test of the character of New Zealanders. It is the test of the courage, endurance, and the spirit of sacrifice of a free country as opposed to despotism and dictatorship. This week the call goes out for £IO,OOO to help to keep New Zealand free. To put more than ever before into national savings accounts means more sacrifice. It means giving up personal pleasures: it means confining ourselves to necessities; it means cutting out self-indulgence. In a phrase, it means backing up, with every penny available, our fighters. All who contribute large or small amounts to this week’s £IO,OOO appeal are backing up the men and women on whom New Zealand’s liberty depends.
