NEW DIRECTOR OF
SAVINGS ISSUES APPEAL
TO C0-WORKERS
Asks For Best Effort to Make the
Movement a Success.

HONSbhShS q SNNSS0cs
To Associates and Workers:
1t gives me genuine pleasure to con-
vey a word of appreciation and en-
couragement to you, who have been
so helpful in the movement of thrift
and economy in this district.
In assuming my new duties as direc-
tor of this department, | felt greatly
inspired by the earnest expression OF
those who have been associated with
the savings work since its inception
| have received warm wishes and fra
ternal greetings from my predecessors
and co-workers of this division. | am
therefore, greatly encouraged by such
human touches of cheer, of inspiration
and of willingness to lend their serv-
ces to this much needed movement
This is more than fine. The work
bound to bear fruit. l believe there
S enough real love for our land and
for our institutions for us to stand by
them and to safeguard them against
an external and internal foe. And
remember, our internal enemy at the
present time is extravaganza, waste,
idleneSS and under production. 1t is
already sapping the vitals of our eco
nomic life. If our dutiful men and
women do not rally to the occasion, |
fear it will materially undermine and
check the advancement of our COM
merce and industry, which has been
the basis of our national independ-
ance and happiness. | therefore in
vite you, fellow-wOrkerS, to give your
lctive cooperation in stemming this
reckless spendthriftness that is as
venomous to our country as the pre-
vailing red" plague.
The present economic situation in
the United States is one which chal-
lenges the best thought of every indi-
vidual whose influence and leadership
count. The adverse possibilities in
the situation are serious. High prices,
general mental reStlesSneSs, the di-
minished purchasing power of the dol
lar, the need for increased production
and decreased consGmption-all these
command our thoughtful considera-
ton.
The necessity for concerted action
on the part of mindful men and wO-
men, leaders of social and industrial
life, was never mere vital-needed,
perhaps, even more now than during
the war when questions were less
complex. We must find some means
whereby we can grapple with this
sort of condition. 1t is my sincere
belief that the practical remedy is
national thrift practiced by everybody
and under all circumstances. To this
end I earnestly solicit the assistance
of influential persons, like yourself,
thrift which Is to be evidenced by
purchase of Savings and Thrift
Stamps, and also Treasury Savings
Certificates
Let us teach the habit of thrift and
push the sales of Stamps and Treas
ury Savings Certificates with renewed
zeal and vigor so as to encourage peo-
pie to invest their savings in these
splendid government securities in
stead of in some wild cat and sky-
rocket stock.
This office is at your disposal. Do
not hesitate to call for aid and ad-
vice. Meanwhile may l count on you
for common council and joint efforts
upon which the success of this move
ment depends?
GEORGE E. LLOYD, Director.

interesting. If you wish to go in
for philanthropy, if ever you wish
to be of any use in the world, do
something for little children. II
ever you yearn to be truly wise,
study children. We can dress the
sore, bandage the wound, imprison
the criminal, heal the sick and
bury the dead, but there is always
chance that we can save the
child. If the great army OF phi
Ianthropists ever exterminate sin
and pestilence, ever work out the
races salvation, it will be because
a little child has led them"

lows:
IT have been greatly Interested in
the plans that the National Tuberculo-

Of Christmas Seals during the coming
holiday season. The success OF that
effort is indispensable to the carrying
out Of the farreaching plans OF the
Association in it's fight against tuber-
culosiS In this country.
"The American people, in common
with the nations of Europe. are be-
coming aroused to the critical impor-
tance of the problem Of vitality and
conservation of health as the neces-
sary factor In re-establishing the
world after the devastation and de-
struction caused by the war. OF all
the preventable diseases, tuberculosis
takes perhaps the first place In 1mpor-
|tance. For that reason l view with
keenest sympathy and approval the
splendid work which the National Tu-
Iberculosis Association is conducting
and trust that the response OF the
American people in the Christmas Seal
Campaign will be generous and univer-
sal. Sincerely yours,

TOWANDA TEACHER SAW VALUE OF SAVINGS YEARS AGO
ORGANIZED SCHOOLS SAVINGS SYSTEM

Five years prior to Americas
entry into the world war, Pro-
fessor L. ]. Russell, County Superin-
tendent of Schools and County Chair
man of the Savings Division, instituted
in his county schools a regular saw
ings system, by which children were
taught the elementary principles of
thrift. The practical application Of
these lessons was put in effect by Saw
lngs departments, and the excellent
results of these were clearly evidenc-
ed by the amount of cnecKs issued
through the local banks when the
school movement for savings was de-
veloped by the government this sum

Professor Russell was one of the
first to turn over his already well es-
tablished savings organization for the
furtherance of the government plan.
Per capita sales for Bradford county

are now $1.70 as against S1.02 in
July, showing an increase of S06S per
capita. No better commentator for
the splendid work can be offered.

War Wages Prompt Men to Demand Increase Before
 Quitting Jobs

Signing players on the Bridgeport baseball club for the coming season is not going to be the simple task that it promised to be when President Lane sent out blank contracts to members of last years combination. The war has forced most of the cir cults to slice the salary list of the clubs. but so far the Eastern League moguls have shown no intention of taking such a step. So what con tracts have been forwarded have in cluded salary figures equivalent to those of last season.
 However, last years wages are ap- parently not considered sufficient by several Bridgeport players to whom the club has forwarded contracts, for today President Lane came in pos session of letters from these men asking for more money. Who these players are President Lane today said he did not care to say as he wanted to give the matter fuller con sideratIon and study, before announc- ing his decision
 Bridgeport in years past has been the best paying club on the circuit Its players have always been given
 due consideration and their individual complaints always investigated - something unknown in the big leagues as well as in most minor cir
 cults.
 Most of the Bridgeport players ot 1918 who were sent adrift after the season came to an abrupt termiHa- ] ton entered war work and until re gently had been receiving enormous wages. Most of them have good job; now and feel that baseball will havt to offer an unusually big inducemen l to force them to quit now. But MT l Lane is confident that all will como 1 out well and hopes to have the salar5 l question adjusted before many more l days roll by.

Bridgeporters Suffer Defeat In First Game of Ansonia
 Championship Series

The Blue Ribbons did their best and fought as hard as the Ansonia team, but the visitors just happened to beat us and that is about all there is to it. It was a strenuous game and we lost fairly and squareIy, but the series is yet very young and we are confident that we will even mat ters in Ansonia on Saturday"
 So said Jack Leavy, manager of the Blue Ribbons, today, in com menting on the 27-21 defeat suffered by his team in the inauguration of the chom pionstip series with the Ansonia aggregation at Colonial hall last night. Jack added that the team that will represent Bridgeport, Satur- day, will be the same as that which took the floor last night
 Leavy was highly pleased with the game and while disappointed by the defeat, is confident that now that his players have an idea of the opposi- tions tactics they will be able to give them 9 stiffer battle. Jack spOk9 praisingIy of the work of the Anson- ians and said the victory was a de- serving one.
 Jason Wright, manager of the An sonia team, however, was not so will ing to hand the locals credit for any thing. On the contrary, he '-cannot see the Ribbons at all in this series To his way of thinking his team will have comparatively little hard time taking the series.
 But had Jason told this to some one who had not witnessed last nights contest, he probably would have got away with his remark, but as the writer has obligations to cover the contest, dem harsh words" went for naught- One thing is certain and that is that this series isn't going to be an easy thing for either team
 Confidence is a blessing to any team, but the writer is afraid thai with Jason 1t is bubbEng over. Wright has a splendid aggregation-one ol | the finest that has visited Bridgeport l But even the mightest of mighty ara | bound to fall. Wright's contention l that his team will have little trou- i ble winning does not fonow-not af 1 ter the game staged before a record l crowd last night
 II was one of those basketball ! games one sees once or, perhaps
 twice. a year. And it showed tha ! both teams are constituted crack play
 CTS and even today with the Ansonil . one to the good, it is a, difficult fea . 10 select the probable winner. Victor! for the visitors last night was de
 served. There is no doubt abou
 that, for the Ansonians certainly di' l play exceptionally well.
