PENNY SAVER NO LONGER
POPULAR.

That old-fashioned thrift example,
who made pennies grow into dollars, is
now a passe figure. So is that old
saw of Poor Richards about penny
saved, etc.
Pennies nowadays are war item.
The copper in them is needed. SO, the
United States mint is curtailing pro-
duction of pennies and calling upon
the citizens to bring those pennies out
of hiding, whether they're in Albert's
piggy bank or mas jar on the top
pantry shelf.
The mint director, Mrs. Nellie Tay-
loe, Moss, said that if all boarded
pennies could be brought out for cir
culation use, more than 1000 tons OF
copper could be released for essen
tial manufacturing.
