Economy Column

A nation at war makes three dis
tinct demands on its individual citi-
zens-sacrifice, service, and economy.
AL sacrifice. Some sacrifce their
own lives or lives dear to them in
actual military service; others sacri-
fee material prosperity. and all sac
rifice personal comforts and pleasures
which seemed the necessities of
peacetimes. Sacrifice is easy because
all meet It together and each Is aware
Of the participation of others.
All serve. Most forms of service
involve group activity, whether 1t be
In the army. in Red Cross or other
philanthropic work. or in active in
dustrial service. No Individual grudges
service because all individuals give it.
But economy is harder. Economy
Is the most personal and the most
difficult form of patriotism. 1t is
hard. 1t is monotonous, It is un-
spectacular. and involves all the frnl
qualities demanded by sacrifice and
service without the inspiration Of CO.
operation and recognition We serve
and sacrifice together; we economic
alone.
The family Is the primary and most
important social group. and in Amer
lea, as the result OF custom, the
woman head of the household is the
disbursed of funds-the spender of the
family income.
Here is one OF the newest and best
definitions of economy which the
housewife would do well to ponder:
Economy is not the cessation OF
spending. Rather It is the elimina-
ton of those fanciful and wastefuI
expenditures which add to the cost
OF living without adding to its Joys. "
The immediate result Of eliminating
the cost of non-essentials IS the ap-
pearance of q surplus fund, a safety.
margin for use when emergency shall
produce an essential not otherwise
provided for.
For instance, in peace times W.
consumed five pounds of sugar per
person each month. At war prices
that sugar cost so cents. Now we are
reduced to a sugar ration of two
pounds each month-an involuntary
saving Of 90 cents. That surplus q
cents saved and not simply diverted

we have reduced the family expense

for candy. The money saving effected
