THRIFT TAUGHT BY
SOCIAL SERVICE CLUB;
fewer RELIEF CALLS

Only few requests for relief have
teen received by the Social Service
Bureau of Richmond, notwithstanding
the real winter weather which has
prevailed throughout the week.
The Bureau reports that it's investi-
gators have found that unemployment
is not general in Richmond
Working conditions in Richmond
appear TO be considerably better than
in many surrounding cities and towns"
one of the Bureau attaches stated.
The savings club, started by the
Bureau about two years ago, continues
to increase its membership and at the
present time this unique organizati ton
is in f1ourishing condition.
The Bureaus saving club started
two years ago with 'charter' men,
hership which included several people
who had been habitual charity So
licitors, men and women who were
constantly calling upon the township
trustee for contributions of food fuel
and clothing throughout each winter
Form Savings Club.
With the idea of encouraging those
people who habitually sought relief
from the township to become depend
ant upon themselves for support the
Bureau organized its savings club for
the purpose of teaching them the
practice of thrift. The club has met
with wonderful success. The club now
includes among it's members people
who have never received charitable as
sistance in their lives, but who were
anxious to take advantage of the op-
portunlty to save a part of their earn
ings which was offered by the
Bureau.
One of the substantial accounts kept
by the Bureaus savings club is that
maintained by man, head of large
family, who two years ago called upon
the township trustee for relief two and
three times a week throughout the
winter. He was induced to start a
savings account with the Bureau. His
first deposit was 25 cents. He is now
buying home, paying for it on time.
His weekly deposits still are modest
sums but he knows that eventually his
thrift will pay for his new home. In
cidentally, this man no longer calls at
the Office of the township trustee.
Collect Savings.
The savings of the members of the
Bureaus club are collected on a GER
tain day each week by authorized col
lectors of the Bureau. The collectors
receipt for these deposits on a thrift
card each member keeps in his or
her possession. The funds collected
are deposited in local bank. With
drawals of savings are permitted and
no club member is questioned as to
reasons for making Withdrawals, but
the club rules limit withdrawal days
to the first and third Fridays of each
month, from 1 80 TO 4:30. Applications
for withdrawals must be made at the
Office of the Bureau the day before
withdrawal day.
The Bureau advises that its thrift
club members as a rule make with
drawals of savings only when such
action is required to provide for
necessities.
There are number of children in
cluded among the members of the
club and several boys and girls saved
enough money last summer to buy
their school booa. and winter cloth
ing.

North America
BUILDING THE BRIDGE
Francis Rolt-Wheeler

Six o'clock in the morning is
pretty early, but in June the days
are long, When the Camp Director
called the roll only two of the boys
and two of the girls were missing,
and everyone agreed that &C out OF
70 was a good response, on hard
work call.
Before nine o'clock the four
trucks with their loads of workers
reached the points predetermined
by Lars. They had expected some
of the farmers to come out and
help, but to their surprise and joy
the farmers-always ready to re
spond when taken the right way
had turned out in mass. Instead OF
seventy or eighty, more than two
hundred were already at work. The
road was like the entrance OF an
ant hill.
Not only the farmers, either! BY
eleven O'Clock, buggies began to
drive up and the farmers wives
came with huge baskets, just
bursting with good things to eat
So, when the horns blew for din
ner, it was more than a dinner, II
was a spread, a spree! Everyone
deserved it, too, for on all the
bridges, the heavy logs had been
laid, and, on the road, a good deal
of the grading had been done.
Two good hours were allowed for
dinner and then everyone turned
to again with a will. Never had
such hard work seemed SO much
fun. 1t seemed impossible that
such lot could be done so quickly.
But a couple of hundred men, we'll
directed, can accomplish wonders.
By six o'clock the planking was
down on the bridges, the road had
been roughly graded. 1t was even
ready for travel.
So much food had been brought
for dinner, that there was enough
for a jolly supper, and by dark the
campers were on the road home,
tired but happy. The County had a
new road.

pranls of their boyhood days. The
door was ajar and as Tommy went
past it on his way out he heard his
father say:

Eyes, and the time you put a

A few days later Tommy re-
turned from school with a note
from his teacher saying that Tom
my had put a tack on her chair
and had tied a mouse in one of the
desks of a very timid little girl,
and something should be done.

THREE YEAR OLD GIRL
WRITES POEMS OF HER
OWN CoMPoSES TUNES

Little Phyllis Joyce, of Webster
Avenue, New Rochelle, N. Y,
claims to be the youngest poetess
in the world.
Phyllis, who according to her
mother, is only two months past
her third birthday, has already
made up several little poems and
moreover, has composed little
tunes to fit them.
Phyllis cannot read or write, and
all her poems are dictated to older
members of the family. She keeps
the tunes in her own head until
some musical friend writes down
the notes.
But Phyllis has been precocious
in all ways" said Mrs. Joyce, "she
walked when she was eight months
old, talked plain English at IL
months, and could count to 20 be-
fore she was a year old"
Here is one of the poems which
Mrs. Joyce says Phyllis composed
by herself:
Tinka Tink
Tinka tink, Tinka tink,
BY the light of a star.
On the cool river brink,
/ tink my guitar.

you can work into a real good

is that they are likely to come at
