This is a very remarkable tribute to our nrnnri forces who fl £0 'fighting’£his war, But this job is only Jwo-thirds accpmplished. - There are nine million additional American workers who are not investing in War Bonds every pay day. This'appeal is direoted to two groups of Americans: First - the twetity-ono million people who are investing eight per oen£'of their wages. Wo ask them to inpreaso their investment to ten per cent or_ more. ~ — Second - the other nine million whom we ask'to join the Payroll Savings Plan and to invest ten per cent or more of their earnings. It is our earnest hope here at the Treasury Department that by New Year's Day thirty million Amerioans will be inyesting ten per cent or more of their wages in War Bond3 through the Payroll ’ Savings Plan. äecrctaav or Twt inuiimr Registration Dates Are Set for 18-Year Old Boys .
