War Savings Certificates. are meant to be bought by people out of their savings, by denying themselves some pleasure or extravagance, and so contributing something to the welfare of his country. Econ omy is absolutely necessary in war time. In England the spirit of saving is so strong that the “spender” is considered to be an outcast. He is contributing noth ing toward winning the war. If he lived in Germany his money would be taken from him and he would receive no return either of money or interest on the money. In Eng land and in Canada we are only asked to lend our money. Have we any people who could be classed as needless “spenders”, when money is needed? Have We people who are not able to something and invest it in Savings Certificates? Viery Have we any able people who are unwilling to save and invest in Cer- tificatesL*,*!*We hope not, and-yet ■ -we'Hi'ave people who seem to think that we are not interested in this war. Yet we have many thousands of soldiers and airmen in England, fighting and ready to fight for Eng* land and Canada. Can we do less than support these men by loaning oui’ money* The campaign is noW on. Be ready to invest as muchi as you can. In the whole of the last war per iod England invested £26,000,060 in War Savings Certificates.
