NATIONAL SAVINGS
“Today Is a red letter day for Southland with the opening of the new chief Post Office building,” said Mr W. G. Nield, district organizer of National Savings, during an interview. “How many of us realize the real Empire significance of its stout construction, simplicity of design and hallmark of utility. It is a symbolic edifice of our social and economic progress, and fittingly demonstrates the modest accomplishment of a free people unmolested by the horrors of destructive warfare, hatred and bitterness.” It was a monument to the bulwark of freedom and security the Empire stood for, am’ was fighting so valiantly for today. This was well worth preservin'’ and a small selfdenial effort by the opening of a National Savings account would greatly assist, said Mr Nield. The armed forces needed financial and moral support as never before. We could not fail them. Southland was making a special effort to celebrate the occasion by opening 500 new National Savings accounts to inspire the rest of the favoured Dominions and they could be obtained at !he Chief Post Office, branches of the Invercargill Savings Bank or at money order offices.
