HOW TO HELP WAR EFFORT

INVESTING FUNDS IN NATIONAL SAVINGS

“The Invercargill National Savings Committee is most anxious to see the V flag flying on the Chief Post Office to indicate that the city’s weekly quota of £2043 in National Savings investments has been reached for one week, : said the district organizer (Mr W. G. Nield) yesterday. Up to Thursday only £6OO had been received for the week, he said, leaving a balance of over £l4OO to be collected in two days. Endeavours were being made to interest financial institutions, lodges, trade unions, and various other organizations in the money-ball scheme wit!, a view to having funds invested in National Savings accounts, or in National Savings bonds. “The 3 per cent, interest earned provides a sound investment, and investors are assured that all loans are utilized for war purposes only,” said Mr Nield. “If a number of these investments could be secured, Invercargill would be sure of flying the quota V flag for several weeks, thereby demonstrating to both Great Britain and our armed forces that we will not let them down on the financial front.”
