NATIONAL SAVINGS
TOTAL NOW £2,138,000
RECORD FIGURES FOR JUNE
The National Savings Committee announces that the financial Returns now coming to hand show results fax in excess of anything achieved to date. During the first eight months of the this is up to the end of May, £1,700,000 was contributed, an average of approximately £50,000 per week. For the month of June, the receipts were £439,000, an average of over £109,000 each week, a really gratifying response to the committee’s appeal for still greater support to this vital phase of the war effort.
No doubt the rising cash receipts are a reduction of the regular payments being made 'by an ever-increas-ing number of persons. On June 9, when the National Savings Committee’s drive for 250,000 accounts commenced, 124,371 National Savings Accounts had been opened. On Friday the total was 173,421, an increase of 49,050 accounts in one month.
