Amy simms' Four. Minute Talk


At the patriotic meeting held q short
time ago the grade and high school
pupils gave original talks on the subject
of thrift, in competition. In the high
school division Miss Amy Simms won
with the following:
In war times there is a great need
for al kinds of saving. We are at war
now and you ought to know the mean
ing of that name by this time. 1t
means that the country must save if We
are to win the war; So let US do our
part in helping to win this war by
beginning to save now. Not only the
country must save. but we as individ-
uals must save. But we say how can
we individually save? Donot buy any
thing unless it is something to make
you strong and efficient. Do not waste
anything. Your country depends upon
you to win the war. 1t is easy to save
q penny. q nickle or q dime. II you
have 26 cents to spend, invest it in
thrift stamp; and when you have your
thrift card full you can buy war
savings stamp. War savings stamps
are issued by the U. S. Government to
defray the cost of war, to induce saving
and discourage waste thruout the coun-
try. You can purchase a war saving
stamp. say in the month Of March. for
81. Ia. and in April it will be worth 81. l5,
and in May a. l6. and so on increasing
one cent each month and in the year
1923 it will be worth q five dollar bill.
Every time we mail . letter we are
helping to win the war because every
time we lick stamp we are helping to
lick the kaiser.
II we go down town and want to buy
ice cream, candy or gum, or tobacco,
stop and think how easy 1t would be to
buy another war savings stamp and
how you are helping to win the war.
The people who save now are getting
ready for peace time, when money will
be needed. And you may succeed in
getting something you desire very much
later by saving now. We do not have
enough food, clothing. coal, or steel
stored up to carry on the war. II We
are to win We need more Of all these
things than we have ever produced
before. The only way we can meet the
demand ID to save. by using less food,
less clothing, less coal and less Of
everything else that 10 not absolutely
necessary. A wasteful nation will soon
be defeated. One war savings stamp
will feed q soldier for more than q week.
And every time we spend s. instead Of
saving it we may be taking the life Of .
Sammie. Think Of our boys over there
fighting for US. The more we save here
now the more lives Of our boys We will
be able to save.
