SAVING IDEA EXTENDED

Boys and girls in the District public
schools will hear anew the slogan
"A penny saved is a penny earned, %
this week, according to Superintendent
OF Schools Ernest L Thurston, who
is also representative Of public edu-
cation on the District Thrift Week
Committee.
The young will be encouraged to
save money for parents by doing
various tasks about the house, cellar
and yard. which would otherwise
have to be done by paid workers.
Just how kindly Jack and Billy and
Jessie will take to this "chore" idea
can hardly be judged. 1t may be that
they win give a personal application
to the thrift idea and assess Dad for
The money they save him by cleaning
the snow OF the sidewalk and wash
ing the windows.
