THRIFT WEEK

Did you know this is Thrift Week? ? It is. Thrift Week means paying more attention to thrift and industry. It is somehow hoped to focus atten- tion more closely on the necessity of bringing down the high cost of living, and increasing savings.
 It's a good idea. We can't have any too much thrift and anything that may help Putnam people to become more thrifty is good. . Everybody save up.
