Monday to support any effo rts being made to give the centre financial support. The'matter arose folio wing an article'in last week’s Advertiser and Times by Kaye Mercer who pointed ou t that the centre was in financial dilBculty and required


£1,000 a year or more. The centre docs not come under the National Health


Scheme. Coun. B. Bentley of Gis-

He had not the .slightest doubt that the centre was being run very economi­ cally indeed, and he was very much impressed by the fact that a lady travelling long distances and giving her ser­ vices free of charge to keep costs as low as possible. “If it had to close, it would

Banks had been operating for more than 100 years and the Post OfBce Savings Bank since 1861, it was only following a Government Committee, set up in 1915 under the chairmanship of the Rt. Hon. E. S. Montagu, that the National Savings Move­ ment began in 1916. Montagu's Committee studied ways and means of raising small sa'Vings to help with the war effort and in 1916 the National Savings Committee, the third member of the trinity, was formed Under the Chairmanship ot Mr. R. M. (later Lord) Kindersley. the first War Savings Certlfr cates were placed on sale on 19th Februarj’ 1916, costing 15s 6d., to be worth £1 .after five years.

In this difficult economic cli­ mate it is not surprising that many were in ' favour of an abandonment of savings but more far-sighted people persis­ ted in their faith in the Move ment which, by the time of the outbreak of the Second World War. in 1939, had amassed funds of £1,500,000,000.
