HOME GIVES CHILD SELF
RELIANCE AND POISE

Every child wants a pet
and a sand pile. And they
are his inalienable right.
They should be his; his very
own 10 romp with and in as
he pleases.
Most of all though he
should have a home which
he knows his daddy owns.
1t helps his self-reliance.
Living in an apartment
isn't the just due of a future
president or the wife-to-be
Of future president.
The child should have his
own playground just as he
has his own toys. 1t means
more to him than the care
less, minimizing parent
imagines.
An Independent spirit
does not flourish and grow
strong under restraint. Anc
more than ever, today, does
the boy need spirit.
Give the youngster his
chance. Get him a home. Lei
him know that it is his.
Pep up his independence.
Guard his spirit as you do
his health.
Bring him up to look the
world in the eye, frankly and
fcarlessly. Sooner or later he
is going to have to take a
poke at it.

A striking example of the

OWNERS OBLIGATION

Just what do you really

it enough to pay taxes and be
a good citizen in moral
sense alone?
Streets are made up of
individual homes. A pretty
street can be irreparably
married by houses and yards
which are run down.
neglected. An implanted
house is harmful to your
street. 1t flowers property

And streets, i'll the aggre-

homes, therefore, can give
the impression of a neglected
community.
