''Tell us what you want. We know that this war must be won. What matters
money when life is at stake? What is mere self-denial compared to sacrifices
of our men at Dieppe? We’re ready for self-denial. We’ll tighten our belts;
we’ll go without. We’ll lend our money. We’ll do everything to insure
Victory. But tell us what we should do and let’s get on with it.”

Very well, then, you must SAVE and invest your savings in Victory Bonds.
What’s your share of this Savings job? Well, the average Canadian would have to lend
to Canada, to. meet Canada’s need, $1 in every $5 of income left after taxes and

compulsory savings have been collected.

But the average may not fit your case.
Your own circumstances are distinctly your own. You may be able to do better both
out of your current income and out of your accumulated savings in the bank—or you

may not be able to reach the average. Your share .of voluntary savings Is every

dollar you can possibly spare.

Up to now most of us who stay at home haven’t suffered very much. We haven’t had

to practice much self-denial. On the contrary, most of us are earning and spending

more money. Yet the price of this spending is being paid for by -the blood and •
sacrifice of others.

We who stay at home must deny ourselves before we can claim to bear our share in

this struggle. We must economize; go without; tighten our belts. We must save and
buy Victory Bonds until we really feel the "pinch” of war’s demands. We must learn
that freedom must be paid for as well as fought for.
