Glenn B. Thompson, jr., Of
Cheverly, Md, tells us that he
was a Christmas present to his
family. He was born on De-
cember "a. We have always
had an idea that it was a bit
tough on a boy or girl to be
born TOO near Christmas
time. Some people have a
notion "a very mean one to
our way of thinking) that they
can double up on Christmas
and birthday presents in such
circumstances.
In his letter to us Glenn said:
81 am nine years old and in
the fifth grade at the Cheverly-
Tuxedo School. My principals
name is Mrs. Thompson and my
teachers Miss Wilson.

j, s. BEGINS NEW
FISCAL PROGRAM
Short Cut to Prosperity Has
Brought Domestic and
Worldwide Reactions.

The United States started a new year
today. leaving behind in its pursuit CT
progress some ancient commandments
about how a government should treat
its citizens and their money.
Important in these changes Is what
has happened to the gold standard
OF interest is the fact that an individ-
ual can expect more direct aid from his
Federal Government now than ever be-
fore.
Since mid-March money has been
"off the gold standard" People used
to be able to trade a dollar bill for
gold Now they can trade it only fol
another dollar bill or for paper Sc
curities, such as a share in the mort
gage on house.
This condition is said to be only tenn
porary. But the proclamations and
laws that brought it about and the
results that followed in the effort to
take short cut to prosperity have
brought domestic and worldwide re-
actions.
OF more direct concern to the in
dividual are some other things. For
generations people have been told to
settle their money problems with their
bankers Now. though, the Government
is building up two S2.o00,00O.000 funds
from which a man, under limitations.
may borrow enough mone..- to keep his
home or farm.
Millions are being poured out, too, to
care for the hungry and poorly clothed.
A number of other, and different
things, are being done. The Govern
ment once kept only one set of books;
now it keeps two One records expen-
ditureS and tax receipts used for ordi-
nary operations. The other records
emergency expenses that are to be re-
tired over long period.

Long-term bonds will be issued to
finance that. Money to pay off these
bonds when they mature is to be raised
by special taxes. expected to bring in

The Government also has told bank
ers they must stop speculating with
