THRIFT sunday

Thrift Sunday is to be observed
throughout the country on June %.
On this date every minister in
Kentucky will be asked to deliver
their Sunday sermon on Thrift and
to read the message of Secretary of
Treasury Glass to their people on
War Savings and Thrift.
The project has been launched by
the Savings Division, War Loan Or
ganization of the Treasury Depart
ment which has started a nationwide
movement to conserve the war taught
habits of thrift which has met with
the hearty approval from many inter-
ests and organizations.
Every man, woman and child in
the United States will be asked to,
consider and discuss the Thrift SUM-
day the present necessity for econo-
my and its permanent value to per-
sonal community and national pros
perity.
Thrift and savings are the high
ways to freedom" says State Direc-
tor James B. Brown. "That safe and
profitable investment may be within
reach of everyone the Treasury De-
partment is continuing the sale of
thrift and War Savings Stamps The
latter costing little over four per
cent. compounded quarterly is one
Of the very best rates for savings, "
declares Mr.. Brown.
"War Savings Stamps are made
easy to acquire. Thrift stamps cost
but a quarter each and sixteen of
these plus few cents additional may
be exchanged for an interest bear
ing War Savings Stamp.
The slogan of the Savings Depart
ment is "Save Frist-Spend After
wards" 1--WE hope to have every min
lister in Kentucky preach on Thrift on
June 22d on the meaning and the
value Of intelligent thrift to his con-
gregation and suggest plans fol
community and individual thrift in
addition to encouraging church or.
CARNATIONS to enroll as government
savings societies" said the State Di'
rector.
When real service for the upbuild'
ing and betterment of the natioI
and community is needed we natural
ly look to the churches of the coun
try for their loyal assistance and co
operation. During the war they helC
true to their faith and justified the
confidence that all those in authorit!
placed in them as being instrument
upon which they could rely fpr tn
cooperation and assistance in all tn
activity of the government necessar,
to the successful prosecution Of
just and righteous war.
The peace-time needs of the ma
ton and the community are as grea
and should be inspiring to tn
churches, as are the wartime needs
Many of the things that we do un
der the pressure Of war are equall'
necessary and valuable in times o
peace, but it sometimes happens tina
it needs the shock and force of wa
to bring these things to our after
ton.
In no case is this more true tina
| in that of saving and thrift. Unde
the strain and menace of war "
were obliged to practice thrift an
economy. We did it for the sake
the country without thought Of pc.
sonal gain or personal interest!
this the churches stood solidly benin
the government and rendered ,untol
assistance. While helping the go
eminent meet its needs we are lear
ing much that we should know an
practice during the following peric
of readiustment and peace-time d
velopment following the happy col
: clusion of the war.

use of money, and saving for re
