Make This Thrift Christmas.

| This is the slogan adopted for the
holidays by the War Loan Organiza-
tion in carrying on the Thrift move
ment in the southeast.
There are two objects in the thrift
Christmas idea, Silas W. Davis, gov
ernment director of, the organization
explains. They are: First, to encour-
age the giving of serviceable Christ
mas presents, and, second, to dis
courage the practice of exchanging
useless articles.
The cooperation of the various
Women's organizations, members of
the thrift clubs IN this district, and
others, is being sought in an effort
to popularize the idea. There are
one hundred thousand members OF
the active thrift clubs in the Sixth
Federal Resereve District.
The reasons for undertaking this
movement are explained by Director
Davis in circular just issued. He
says:
'We waste q lot of time, energy,
money and material every year
through giving useless presents on
Christmas. Nobody gets any per-
manent good out Of them, except in
the sentiment attached to the gift.
This annual exchange Of presents,
however, is custom that should be
preserved. The same sentiment. can
be expressed in gift that will carry
some actual benefit. to the recipient.
with the present high cost of liy-
ing, it is more important than ever
count. Wisdom and judgment should
that we should make every dollar
be used in making purchases. The
articles selected should have a real
value; should be needed by the per-
son for whom they are intended.
Most folks would rather have COM
nonsense presents. Everyone would
be happier and much better off Christ
mas if they gave and received Thrift
Christmas gifts.
