Residents in the Featherston district are rapidly becoming “National Savings” conscious but an earnest appeal is made to those who fully appreciate the necessity for lending now and spending after the war, to delay no longer but to enrol today. The simple forms of first deposit, etc., are easily obtainable and will be posted on request. A million people, lending Is a month over a period of live years would make available £3.000.000 for war purposes. However, that’s a mere bagatelle to what can be done, without undue economy, if they will only save and lend to defend the right to be free. The need is urgent to open a National Savings Account Closing Down Sale. An advertisement appears on the front page of this issue which is of interest to Featherston people, advising them of Mr. Alex McLeod's (men’s outfitter) closing down sale. Euchre Party and Dance. A euchre party and dance will be held in Kaiwaiwai Hall on Saturday night. Personal. Miss Norma Shepherd left ye.sterdav for Dimedin when, she will euniinu'v her medical studies.
