NATIONAL SAVINGS
IMPETUS GIVEN BY BOMBER BONDS. 332 TOWNS REACH QUOTA. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The expectation that the impetus given by the Bomber Bonds campaign would result in a considerable increase in the number of places attaining their weekly quotas of national savings has been fully realised, for last week no fewer than 332 towns flew their national savings flags. The best total previously recorded in any one week was 157. Under the “quota” system each city, town . and township in the Dominion at which a permanent post office is established is allotted a sum to be raised locally each week in the form of investments in national savings accounts or national savings bonds. The day-by-day piogress is indicated by “money-balls” displayed on Post Office flag-poles, a special pennant being broken out whenever the allotted quota is attained.
