Uncle Sam Says

One Of my nephews, Assistant
Secretary of the United States
Treasury Edward II. Foley, made
few remarks the other day which
are worth the attention and action
Of all my other nieces and nephews.
In talking about buying Savings
Bonds through the payroll savings
plan, he said: Workers are doing
themselves q favor when they In
crease their take-home savings. The
man who has saved up reserve
has sense of security which the
man who lives from hand to mouth
can never know. He gets more out
of life. He can take today as it
comes, rather than spend it worry
ing about tomorrow" The same rea.
soning applies not only 10 Americans
on somebody's payroll but to the
millions of men and women who
earn their living as doctors, lawyers
and Independent business men VINO
can arrange for regular purchases
of Savings Bond at their banks.
