ENCOURAGE THRIFT

This week is being observed throughout the coun-
try as Thrift Week., with Ben jamin Franklin whose
birthday was observed Tuesday, recognized as the
patron saint of thrift in America
The counsels of Franklin than $50 years ago,
upon the desrabiity of cultvang the habit of thrift
apply equally as we'll today they did at that time.
He who is not thrifty is certain later to
gret it.
Some mistake thrift. To them it is akin to miser-
Illness and induged in only by the parsimonious There
is nothing msery in being thrifty. Thrift according
to the dictionary means Care and wisdom in the
management of ones resources 1t does not mean
stntng except that he who is thrifty does provide
himself with useless and unnecessary things
Thrift can be applied not only to money but to
ores property, business, and every day life.
Thrift Week is intended to encourage those who
are already thrifty and provide opportunity for
those who have not adopted the virtue of thrift to do
at once
The best way to become thrifty is to start in child
hood and therein lies duty for parents during Thrift
Week. If parents would only point the advantages
to their youngsters, of saving little from the money
that is given them from time to time encourage them
to devote their spare time to work which will return
them profit and show them the folly of unwse spend
ing and waste they would be teaching the child les
son that Will be invaluable to him in his later years
The idea of Thrift Week" is by no means limited
to children. Adults may we'll take stock of themselves
during this week and ask themselves if they are eXer
cising Care and wisdom in the management of ones
resources

TWO DIFFERENT MEN

What fine example of real Americansm, the
senior senator from Arkansas displayed in his reply
to his colleague from Alabama following the latter's
attack upon millions of his counrymen whose only sin
IS that they differ from him in religious belief as the
Constitution grants them the right to do.
A dry where Governor Smith of New York is
wet Protestant where the governor is a Catholic;
committed to the personal belief that Governor Smith
should not be the presidential candidate of his party
this year. nevertheless the Honorable Joseph Taylor
Robinson rose in the Senate and defended the good
name OF the governor and his coreligioniss from the
vituperatve attacks of the gentleman CD from Ala
bama.
1t was big thing to do, manly thing to do, the
real American thing to do.
Millions of Americans of different religious be-
lefs work together side by side and day after day
throughout the country they belong to the same
ganizatons send their children to the schools
attend the theaters; enjoy the good things
of life; become fast friends and ntimates in each

james Helm, bgoted, prejudiced intoerant-which

However. along comes aid unexpectedly from

Library in Madrid, says that really have right to
the title AmeTicans because the official designation

addition of that last word the situation Brazil

The New World nations Of Spanish and Portu-
guese origin, however still left without any deSig
nation except that of Latin Americans which we use
for them and which they themselves dislike. Senor
Martin thinks would solve the whole problem if
Latin brethren were called 'Columbians in memory
of the dlSCoVerer of America
And so it would-f could remember to use it,
and the nations to whom it is applied could be sat

do something about the matter
