Trade Union Officers are urged to co-operate with the Trade Union Advisory Committees already set up in the various regions, with a view to increasing the membership and subscriptions in Savings Groups which are established in offices, factories and workshops, and setting up new Groups wherever necessary. Individual workers who are members of Savings Groups are asked to maintain as far as possible their rate of saving, and those who are not members of such Groups are urged to join. Save to help the Fighting Forces. Save to build up a reserve for your own use later. Save what might be spent on non-essentials and so relieve production and shipping space.
