Action on school needed now


LAST week you published a letter from me about- over­ crowding at Edisford school. In the same issue there was an article about the problem in which Mr. Fox stated that a new school is to be built on the other side of town, and that Pendle and St. James’s schools were not limiting their intake. Therefore it is obvious that it is at Edisford where the

Why is It everyone can save but you?


Relax. You’re no different from the rest. Saving is simply a trick.


A rather good one. You don’t even havd to be


careful with money. The trick is to work out in advancehowmuchyou could take out of your pay every


month without feeling the pinch. Th en eachm o n th y o u take tha t


much o u t before i t gets mixed up


with your spending money, and put i t somewhere where i t can


b u ild u p interest. Like the Leeds Permanent


“More-Money System”. This way you don’t feel any worse off and you suddenly find yourself saving seriously. There’s another advantage, too.


On regular savings Leeds pays you more than the usual rate of interest, a full 6% with income tax paid by the Society. That’s equal to over 9£ % if you had to pay the tax yourself. Yet you are free to take all your money out when­ ever you feel like it. Why not call in at your local


Leeds Permanent branch and check just how much more money the “More-Money System” can make for you ?
