MRS. THOMAS H. RICHARDS SPEAKER, n
FOR TEN THOUSAND CLUB YESTERDAY

AS state treasurer for the Califor-
MIA Federation of Women's clubs,
Mrs. Thomas H. Richards chose a
particularly appropriate subject yes
terday for her talk before the Ten
Thousand club: Budget Your In
come and Budget Yourselves"
Her analogy between the budget
ing of income to obtain the most for
the money, and the budgeting of an
individuals life to obtain the best
results, was skilfully developed,
flashes of humor affording delight
ful contrast to the serious nature OF
her topic = -
The individuals income, Mrs.
Richards declared, consists of past
experience, education and the things
experienced each day. In budgeting
this income the individual should
ask the following questions before
deciding: Am 1 a good American
citizen? What can I do for educa-
ton? Am living too serious life?
Am I making good home? Is my
reading well balanced? Am think
ing of the future from the stand
point of growing old gracefully"
Emphasis upon budgeting for hap
piness was laid by the speaker who
pointed out that happiness lies first
in determination to be happy, in
taking pleasure in simple things, in
refusing to take ones self and 9TH
ers too seriously, in avoiding ina
ginary troubles and in meeting fate
happily.
Life is not made up of tears,

Imperial Valleys points of inter-

talk delivered last night for the
Junior Ten Thousand club by Per-
CIV E. Palmer principal of the
Brawley high school. the meeting

fears and cares, but faith, hope and
prayers. were the moving closing
words in her talk which proved OF
such interest to women.
Mrs. Richards was introduced by
Mrs. F. d. Jacobs, state resolutions
chairman, who also presented Mrs.
B. F. Warmer, Southern district pre-
sident, who spoke briefly, declaring
that today's challenge to women is
that they be informed on things of
vital interest.
The old civilization is dead and
new civilization waits to be born
Mrs. Warmer said, quoting from a
speaker at the recent Riverside In
stitute of World Affairs. 1t is wo-
| mems moral duty as result, to
keep up with the times and to re-
fuse. to be governed by prejudices OF
the past.

to the afternoons program was the
talk given by Mrs. Warren Currier,
| legislation chairman, who outlined
problems of legislation, first read
ing the ordinance passed by the city

dinating council, making it unlaw-
full for any minor to attend pool
halls.
She then discussed the bills be-
fore the state legislature, those rela-
| tive to taxation and the budget, the
old age pension, unemployment in
surance, regulation of holding COM
panies. .=.........
Legislation which confronts con-
gress is that relative to motion pic
ture control, the Townsend old age
pension, veterans bonus bills, en-
trance to the world court. A hope
tul sign of the times, she declared
to lie in the council of state gov
ernors, whose aim is unification OF
interests. which are similar in the
various states. ..
