NATIONAL SAVINGS
WANGANUI INVESTMENTS MAINTAINED “In supporting the campaign to the limit of their resources, people on the home front not. only provide the sinews of war for the fighting services, but also materially assist in overcoming the disturbing problem of inflation in the wartime economy,” said Mr. J. Gillick, district organiser for National Savings in the Wanganui district. With district investments totalling £3259 lasi week, added Mr. Gillick, the total receipts for February reached £15.935, exceeding the district quota lor that period by £2335. In view of the exceptionally heavy commitments for income tax, Social Security charges and rates in that period, the high level of investments was most encouraging. Ten district offices were again successful in reaching their quota, objectives last week, and the district investments showed an excess of £539 over the previous week with receipts totalling £2482. The Wanganui city quota of £1450 was exceeded by £1032 and was £7OO better than the previous wee'-.
The successful offices last week were:--Wanganui (123 successive weeks), Hunterville (125 successive weeks), Aramoho (124 successive weeks), Marton (124 successive weeks), Taihape (104 weeks), Ohingaiti (94), Patea (93), Mangaweka (89), Raetihi (59), Rangataua (37).
