address:
"rhe world. its governments. Its

the war to an extent not merely un-
'precedented. but absolutely alarming.
There is but one way for the com

and that is to go seriously about pay

ses.
"If you have debts. reduce them as
rapidly as you can; II you are one OF
the fortunate few who have no debts,
make 1t a rule to save something every
year. Keep your eye everlastingly on
those who administer your govern
mental units for you; your town. your

you are applying the rule Of thrift and
savings in your personal affairs. and
require them to apply It in their man

who will succeed. II they succeed
give them such encouragement and In
