NATIONAL SAVINGS
QUOTA NEARLY OBTAINED
NO PENNANT FOR FIRST WEEK
The "money ball" did not quite make the top of the flag pole on the Post Office by Saturday midday, indicating that for the week Whakatanc failed to reach its Aveeldy quota of national savings deposits. The amount received for the week was slightly over threc-cjuarters of the total which will, be the aim of each week. The local quota is fixed at £231 and the figure received was £56' short. The sj'stcm of the "Vnoney ball" was introduced last week to keep the public advised as to the progress of the. town'si effort. As funds mount the ball proceeds up the flag staff, and when it attains the peak a pennant is flown to acclaim the achievement of the quota. Should the quota be exceeded then the surplus gives the ball indicator a flying start for the next week. The first week of this system reveals that increased effort by local people is needed if Whakatane is to fully play its part in the Dominion war effort and it is hoped to see the pennant flying early; this week.
