RICHES ANYONE CAN ENJOY
(Contributed)

Everyone has learned the story OF j
how Benjamin Franklin deprived him
self of meat in his early life IN order
that he might have more money to
buy books.
Franklin once said: "If you would
not be forgotten as soon as you are
dead, either write things worth read
ing or read things worth writing"
Most of the things he wrote were OF
such a nature that millions OF man
kind since his days have found it high
lv profitable to read them.
Franklin's advice might we'll be
thought about. Many Libraries, news
! stands and book stores are now hlfo-
bling over with material that isn't
worth reading OF writing. In the inter
i est Of those who read, then, we appeal
to those who write to seek earnestly
to turn out to the public what is worth
reading, not simply that they may be
remembered after they are dead, as
Franklin put it, but in order that their
labor may prove Of real benefit to
others.
