Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 6, No. 11 August 11, 1943

National Savings

National Savings

The magnificent response of students at Victoria to the somewhat exacting demands made of them during the Liberty Loan Campaign is something of which we can be justly proud, and lends emphasis to the happy fact that the College is taking its war-time responsibilities seriously. But we cannot afford to relax for a minute in our individual efforts to increase the tempo of the offence against Fascism. Our struggle must be unremitting and no sacrifice we are called upon to make that will further the cause of Liberty can be ignored by us. One of these sacrifices lies in transferring our surplus money to the Government for war expenditure.

There is no need to debate the necessity for National Savings. We all know their importance and facilities are being provided at the College for students to open accounts and pay regular weekly contributions in to them. The organisation of the scheme is in the hands of Jim Winchester, assisted by Lauris Scott, Bev. Williams, Irish O'Brien, Gunther Wachsner and Hylton Burt, one of whom will be in attendance at the Exec. room waiting to do business with You on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 to 6.30 and 7 to 7.30 p.m.

Already Twenty-Five students have opened accounts and are contributing between them 30/- a week. This is good, but it can only be a beginning. There are 900 students at the College and there is no reason why every one of them should not join the group.
