WARSHIP WEEK
TO THE INHABITANTS OF PENMAENMAWR.
WARSHIP WEEKS are being held in all parts of the country under the auspices of
the NATIONAL SAVINGS MOVEMENT, and the LOCAL SAVINGS COMMITTEE has been
approached to make a further effort to raise funds to finance the War.
By arrangement with the Admiralty a Ship Adoption Scheme has, been
inaugurated and PENMAENMAWR as been allotted a MOTOR TORPEDO BOAT, provided that
at least he cost of the hull which is £25,000—is subscribed. The cost of the
complete Ship, fully equipped, is £70,000.
We have, therefore, arranged for a WARSHIP WEEK from MARCH 14th to MARCH 21st,
during which it will be our aim to raise the necessary minimum of £25,000 Having
secured this figure during the week, all subsequent savings to the end of the
year will be allocated to the cost of completing the Ship.
We earnestly appeal to you to invest all you can and, by so doing, give your
full support to the National Effort. We want everyone to be in it—rich and poor.
Every Penny counts.
The need is great. It is most URGENT.
You can take up any of the following Investments at any Bank, at the
Selling Centre provided, and at the Post Office:-
2 1/2% NATIONAL WAR
BONDS…………………. No LIMIT.
3% SAVINGS BONDS……………………………… No LIMIT.
3% DEFENCE BONDS ………. Maximum Holding, £1,000
POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS.

We feel sure you will make an
extra effort and an extra sacrifice so that the result may be worthy of our
wonderful forces on Land and Sea and in the Air,
