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

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, l felt greatly
inspired by. the earnest expression OF
hose who have been associated with
he savings work since its inception.
1 have received warm wishes and fra
ernal greetings from my predecessors
ind 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
5 bound to bear fruit. l believe there
5 enough real love for our land and
or our Institutions for us to stand by
hem and to safeguard them against
IN external and internal foe. And
'emember, 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, l
check the advancement of Il COM
merce and industry, which has been
he basis of u national independ-
ence and happiness. / therefore in
yite 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
he United States is n which chal-
lengeS the best thought of every lndi-
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 consumption-all these
command our thoughtful considera-
don.
The necessity for concerted action
"a the part Of mindful men and wo-
men, leaders of social and industrial
Afe, was never more 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
national thrift practiced by everybody
and under all circumstances. To this
end I earnestly solicit the assistance
of influential persons, like yourself,
as leaders, to promote the practice of
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 PEG.
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 adj
vice. Meanwhile may l count on you
for common council and joint efforts
upon which the success of this move
ment depends?

TOWANDA TEACHER SAW VALUE OF SAVINGS 7 YEARS AGO
ORGANIZED SCHOOLS INTO SAVINGS SYSTEM

Five years prior to Americas
entry into the world war, Pro-
fessor L. j. Russell, County Superin-
tendent of Schools and County Chair
maj 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
ings departments, and the excellent
results of these we're 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-

terday, afternoon, has been promised an
extra dab of the work in the coming
campaign. There are many, however,
who will not fan under this category,
for they were there with smiles on
their faces and ginger in their words
j. r. Pennington, county chairman
of the executive committee, was asked
to size up the coming campaign for the
speakers who are to 90 out and bring
back the bacon. He assured them that
they had a man-sized job but that as
they all We're man-si2ed men II should
not be difficult.

Writ Franklin told the assembled
speakers of his experience in other cam

ginger into the spirits Of those who
heard him. He assured the county eN-
ecutive committee that the Victory loan
campaign could start right off with a
subscription of $4,000 as there was one
man in Ardmorc who during the last
days Of the fourth loan promised that
amount but which, when Mr.. Franklin
found that the county had gone over
the top, was not called for. The name
was given the committee, and the $751;

CRIME IS MORE COSTL Y
THAN EDUCATION, SAYS
WELFARE EDUCATOR HERE

Theodore Hanson, founder Of the Ma
donal Public Welfare League, and lead.
er Of the three-day series of lectures
here said today regarding the work Of
the league:
Emphasis is laid on the fact that
organized society. the body polite must
assume the responsibility Of dealing
with the causes Of our social ills rather
than simply handling the product"
DR. Hanson advocates the policy that
Efficiency in government is not build.
ing Institutes to house the social wreck.
age. but rather to eliminate the cause
which occasions the downfall Of our
boys and girls, and i'm the place Of sim
ply playing the role Of big police we
must supply the big brother spirit"
The speaker deals very definitely with
the public amusementS as an outstand-
ing destructive or constructive element
i'm character building. THE commun-
i,y playlifo either supplements and
bulwarks the school and church and
home or it. runs counter and largely un.
dermines the efficiency Of all these in.
stitutions."
However, Doctor Hanson does not
advocate the elimination Of public
amusements, but insists that the com.
mnity is responsible under the new
social order, where it is the commun-
ity rather than the home that supplies
the social play-life of the boys ana girls,
To see that the whole is made helpful
ana constructive.
The speaker further insists that "the
body polite must be held responsible
TO see that the proper physical and
sanitary conditions are furnished In the
home life of all the boys and girls"
Stating also that Eve are very par
ticuar with respect to our obligations

We place in our penitenuaries, TO sec
that all modern and sanitary appliances
are furnished, to see that the insttu.
ton is kept clean and wholesome 10
Then why should not society be as
much interested in the multitude Of
boys and girls outside Of our penal in
sututes living in unsanitary and un.
wholesome conditions?"
lie insists that 1T is cheaper from
the standpoint of economy, only, TO
build out of the boys and girls a con.
structive citizenship than TO handle
them or to care For them after they
have gone wrong. He opened our eyes

sides stamp collecting, the Prince has
another hobby. equally dear to the
heart of every American boy. He is
devotee of the bicycle, or "bike' as
he himself unroyally terms it. Then
he loves to row, and when in college
he likes to play pranks on his class
mates. One of the stories related by
Mr.. Phillips illustrating the Princes
democratic habits, runs as follows:
On one occasion one of the young
sprigs of nobility who was a class
mate of the Prince at Oxford, was
going off to witness a foot ball match.
He offered to take the Prince along
in his Rolls-Royce car.
"No, thanks" said the Prince. 81
prefer TO use my old bike"
On another occasion, Mr.. Phillips
relates, the Prince invited a group of
his Oxford classmates to dine in his
rooms at the college, and from there
to proceed to the theatre to witness
a performance by a company of
famous London actors.
Everything went along fine, after
dinner the Prince made some sort of
excuse to leave his classmates for
moment. An hour passed, but the
Prince did not return. Growing anx-
ious about his safety, the guests be-
gan hunt through the college. After
an hour of fruitless search, some of
them decided to go to the theatre, and
there they found the Prince alone in
his box, much amused at the way IN
which he had given them the slip
and caused them bit of unseasiness.
Another anecdote told by the
Princes intimate friends here in
characteristic of the youthful daring
and frankness, by the way illustrating
his popularity with the fair sex, e
quality which was developed by his
grandfather, King Edward. While
in Hamilton, Canada, he recently
danced with a Scottish young lady,
whose name happened to be MacCush-
ion. She was very attractive young
lady, quite plump and charming, so
that it seemed to everybody that the
Prince had become particularly in,
