Morgan To Prompt School Savings
Postmaster Leo J . Morgan said
he had just been instructed by
Postmaster General John A. Gro-nouski
to extend all cooperation
possible to students, educators,
bankers, and odier volunteers in
promoting and servicing the
Treasury's School Savings pro­gram
in Farmingdale.
" I am pleased to carry out
Mr. Gronouski's instructions,"
he said, " because any program
which stimulates young Ameri­cans
to save diese days, is for die
good of the country andfortiiem-selves."
The School Savings Program
during World War II, he noted,
provided one of our most ef­fective
instruments for teaching
thrift and good citizenship.
An adequate supply of Savings
Stamps and books and promotion­al
material, he said, will be on
hand to meet die needs of die
students and die community in
carrying out die Stamp Consign­ment
plan.
The Stamp Consignment plan
has in die past, greatly eased
die burden borne by our school
systems. The plan eliminates die
financing problems of die school
savings program which our
schools have had to handle.
