Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z Vol. 7, No. 9 September 13, 1944

U.S.A

U.S.A.

In the United States a National appeal was launched for half a million pints of blood from the youth of the States to help save the lives of the men in the allied armies on the opening of the Second Front.

Young Major-General V. Velebit, head of the Tito Military Mission to London, at a recent interview said, "Our Youth is organised in the United Association Of Anti-Fascist Youth of Yugoslavia.' The Association has a membership of approximately 300,000. Not a day passes on which at least three enemy trains are not blown up and a few hundred German, Bulgarian and Quisling soldiers killed, captured or wounded."

These are but a few of the messages received from youth organisations. You are not asked to give your blood or to blow up enemy trains. You are asked to do something much simpler, much more comfortable but no less effective. Lend Your Money. You are not even asked to give it, just Lend It. The New Zealand students must and will stand beside these student organisations of other allied countries. Therefore Support the Victory Loan with all Your Might and Money.

Last year the V.U.C, students campaign in the Liberty Loan resulted in the raising of over £600. This year our aim is £1,000. The college campaign for the Victory Loan will commence on Thursday, September 14th and end on Wednesday. September 20th.

Watch for the table in the hall where £1 and £10 Bonds and stock may be purchased.

For students who are unable to pay cash (and there will undoubtedly be many) the executive has arranged that they may pay a deposit of not less than 2/6 and not less than 2/6 per week until the full amount is paid.

The Executive Loan committee will require a large number of volunteers to assist in the campaign and the assistance of everyone who can spare anytime at all will materially help make the Campaign a success.
