It has been proposed that the different clubs adopt the following war song; it fills the bill and the music could be easily arranged:

"Sing A Song of Thrift Stamps,

A pocketfull of dough;

Sixteen little Thrift Stamps

Standing in a row.

When the War is over,

How happy I will be;

My four bucks will be five bucks in 1923."
