Show What Should You Save To Help? WASHINGTON, D. C The following table issued by the Treasury Department is intended as a savings yardstick for the average income- earner. It suggests how everyone of the 48,000,000 employed persons in the United States may participate partici-pate in the war effort through the systematic purchase of Defense Savings Bonds. "The job ahead of us is far bigger than most of us realize," Secretary Morgenthau declared in making the table public. "I know that the American, people are ready to do their part to win the war. One of the ways we can do much more is by intensifying our effort in the purchase of Defense Bonds." While persons without dependents may be able to set aside more than the suggested figures, persons with several dependents, or with other heavy family obligations, may be unable to save at the suggested rate, the Treasury Department pointed out.
