Mice and Thrift Stamps

When the eats away the mice will
play-but not at the orphanage at
Oxford, n. c. At this thrifty insti-
tuition the destructive little rodents
are being hotly pursued by the chill
dren-not only the mice, but the big
gray rats find no rest-and as they
are caught they are sold for Thrift
Stamps.
From Miss Mary G. Shotwell, field
director for North Carolina for the
War Loan Organization of the Fifth
Federal Reserve District, comes the
account of what the children at the
Oxford Orphanage are doing. These
children, she says, do not have a
great deal of money, but what they
get, Miss Shotwell says, they invest
in Thrift Stamps. Recently rats and
mice began a spring drive on the
barn and the orphanage superinten-
dent offered one cent for each rat
brought to his office. The children
made a splendid counter attack, cat
ching and killing number of the
pests. Even the girls, forgetting
their traditional fear of the furry
little beasts, joined joyfully in the
chase and a number of Thrift
Stamps were bought in consequence.
Not alone at the Oxford Orphan
age has Thrift Stamp enthusiasm de
veloped, Miss Shotwell writes, for
the Oxford Girl Scouts have sent a
defiant challenge to the Oxford Boy
Scouts to beat them in summer
savings contest The boys are not
expected to back down, and spirit
ed race is expected, which; it is be-
lieved, will firmly establish the say
ing habit in more than one future
citizen, thus not only bcnehtt1ng
them individually, but materially
lettering the community.
