Axis requests for troops to help de fend the Balkans and at the same time I is withdrawing Soldiers: from Russia, Ireliable sources said. One of these days a 4flan will call on you to talk to you about saving money. The caller will be one of your neighbors, or a man from your nearest town who is likely well known to you. He is asking you to save money when he asks you to buy a Victory Bond. He is not asking you to give money to anybody or anything. You save money when you buy a Victory Bond . . . and you lend your money to Canada to help win the war. The money you save is yours. You will get it back later on, and have it to do anything you wish with it. And Canada will pay you 3 % interest on your savings every year until the loan is paid back to you. TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU ARE GETTING ALONG This is something- that every man should do now and then. You will see how you are getting along by comparing savings with earnings. It's what you save that counts. Perhaps you will say you saved all you could. Did you? Remember you are asking yourself questions. You are not getting figures to show anyone but your- self. Can you figure out how you can save more? A sure way to save money is to save it in small sums—as you get it. Victory Bonds —which can be paid for in small instal- ments covering a six-months' period— provide a convenient method of carrying out a savings programme. Your Victory Bond salesman will tell you all particulars. National Finance Committee
