Generally speaking, thrift IS mat
ter OF delicate and intentional
requirement brought about by SELF
abnegation with a definite purpose
in view.
When BENJAMIN Franklin. upon
whose birthday National Thrift Week
begins. preached his lessons in thrift
70 the people OF this country he
realized that the driving power Of
thrift had much TO do with pride, that
the shrinking Of the sensitive soul
from poverty in any shape was the
only influence strong enough TO sup
port hardship and denial. Franklin
also knew that this independents OF
character IS the backbone Of national
sanity and self respect.
