DR.. FRANK CRANE EXPLAINS
THE MEANING OF THRIFT

Or, Frank Crane gives the follow
ing definition Of thrift, ana AZ covers
the ground 50 completely thar eevyr
person in Claiborne county should
read it;
Thrift is simply the application Of
intelligence to expenditure
II does not mean only saving, II
does not connote skimping and penny
pinching, niggardliness and miserl-
ness. That is often the most foolish
kind of waste, waste Of health, of
spirits and Of the JOY of life.
Thrift means intelligent spending.
To spend a dollar now may save
two dollars next month.
Thrift implies a budget. If YOU
have no wise plan, it makes little diff
ference how much you make. What
is the use Of forging ahead when you
don't know your destination?
Some money-makers might sing,
with Mr.. Dooley, "We don't know
where we're going, but we're on our
way"
Thrift implies foresight. 1t means
we can see tomorrow as well as to-
day.
It is the opposite Of childishness.
The child can grasp only what is be-
fore him. He cannot realize the fu-
ture. He wants what he wants
when he wants it." If he had no old
er heads to think for him he would,
like the grasshopper, dance all Sum-
mer and starve all Winter.
The savage eats when he finds
meat. He gorges and sleeps, and be-
tween times starves. The civilized
man lays up. In abundance he pre-
pares against famine. He builds
barns and warehouses.
Thrift implies self-control. We are
masters of self, not slaves Of self.
Thrift implies self-respect. We do
not wish to become a burden upon
others, hence we lay up something
flor our lean days.
Thrift means decency. The decent
portion of the race accept their due
responsibility, carry their share Of
the burdens, justify their existence
by cheerfully doing their part Of the
worlds work
Thrift means patriotism.
Thrift means love of family.
Thrift means you are not a bound
er, sponge or a nuisance.
Thrift means using your strength
to protect your weakness, your health
to take care of your sickness, your
fortune to provide against your mis-
fortune.
Thrift means you are not ashamed
of your past; you are content with
your present; and you are unafraid Of
your future.
1t means you can stand up like a
man on your two feet and face what
ever destiny may have for you, and
say:
am the master of my fate,
am the captain of my soul
