So I hope to start a business with my brother James, after winning the war. War savings certificates we bought for Rs8.50 will be valued at R10 in ten years. I am so happy to be able to save money this way 2. My husband says that we have to get as much latex as possible. For that we have to work hard.Only then can we get a higher income. We can buy war savings certificates each month for Rs.4.50. My husband said that it will be worth Rs.5 later. If we defeat the Germans and Japanese, we can return to our hometowns. 3. My children are growing now, I should educate them well. They must get abetter education than we got. Now their father gets a better income. We save Rs.42.50 each month for war savings certificates. This will grow to Rs.50 in five years. By that time we can send Jhoney to a better school 4. I would lend money as war aid if I could afford to do it. Unfortunately, when I consider my approaching old age and my wife, I cannot do it. So I will buy war savings certificates for Rs.850. The will be worth Rs.1000 in five years. They give us 3.3% interest and no income tax will be charged. 5.Business is good but it is difficult to find a profitable business. It will be worth Rs.100 in five years. You don't have to pay income tax for this.] COMMISSIONER, P.O. BOX 541, Times Building, Colombo. J.N. 6046 GOVT. PRESS, COLOMBO.
