Take this vexing question of gov
eminent spending that has reached
such undreamt-of proportions today.
If the women of each community

half of our tax money is spent in

How TO Loot Never
Learned by This Guy

Z Perhaps story told by Sharp
shooter" in Commercial West Of
Minneapolis has little bearing on
merchandising but it has some So
cial Truth and is, anyway, too good
to print. He says.
Undoubtedly I'm just an old-fash-
Toned sort of guy who cannot keep
pace with what's going on around
him.
For instance, when | was a young
ster | was taught that if you wanted
anything you had to earn the money
with which to buy it. If you wanted
to retire when you were past the
hard working age you had to save
up so that you would have some
money on which to live, or instead,
take out an endowment insurance
policy.
There was no benign Uncle in the
background waiting to hand you
enough hard cash a month so you
could get by. For those who were
not thrifty souls there was always
some means of getting along, even il
it did have to be "over the hill"
If lost my job that was just too
bad unless l had been provident
enough to save some money for just
such rainy day-which most of us
did. There was nobody standing
around offering me SIS a week on
which to loaf until l could land an
other job. Not having anything
like that to lean on | hustled around
and got another job. So did every
body else, with the net result that
there were more payrolls with
which to buy more goods and serv-
ices, the production Of which Gre
ated more payrolls to spend fol
more goods and services.

And I'm so DANCED old-fashioned
that | do not relish the risque sto-
ries they tell nowadays in mixed
company-ditto pictures in some Of

programs.
The stories are told often in the
