The story Of the American moor
BOY who saved his pennies and be-

Der of rich men is only relatively
great when compared with other
countries.

Out of every 100 average healthy
Americans 36 die before the age
of 65 years.

One win be rich
-Four win be welI-to-do
Five viii be earning their own

Fifty-four viii be dependent on

Along with public financing, cor
porations and herds of bison rowing
the plains of America, is Benjamin
Franklin and his teachings of Ameri-
canism outlawed by the New Order
in Americaf Or
Has there been a resurrection and
re-birth of the Franklin philosophy
The 18th anniversary of the birth
of Benjamin Franklin goes unnoticed
this year, perhaps on account of the
war and perhaps because his teach
ings are as outmoded as are the
social customs and usages of his time.
Benjamin Franklin has been re-
garded as the worldwide example
of the American Way of Life: a
phrase that has grown so confused in
recent years that it is refreshing to
look back to Frankhn's way. Son of
a poor tallow chandler, Franklin was
homespun American. He had only
a year or two of schooling. He signal
lied his first appearance in Phila.
delphia streets in search of work by
munching bread from a loaf under
hls arm as he walked.
Yet Franklin was considered
wealthy at the time of his passing
without having fallen heir to q
legacy or having cheated anyone. He
left behind record of how he did
it: philosophy which at one time
was regarded as the best "planned
economy" the world has known.
Franklin's homely philosophy was
expressed through Poor Richards
Almanac which commented on the
problems of high taxes and a dour
outlook for the future. The only
hope for the individual, said Frank
lin, is in individual effort.
"Be industrious and free: he
frugal and Free" he advised. HAt
present, perhaps, you may think
yourself in thriving circumstances.
and that you can bear a little ex
travagance without injury; but
"For age and want, save while
you may,
No morning sun lasts a whole
day"
AS Poor Richard says, gain NAV
be temporary and uncertain; but
ever, while You live, expense is
constant and certain
Money makes money and the
money that money makes, makes
more money" said Franklin. WHO
believed that thrift must be fol.
lowed by intelligent investment.
"What though you have found no
treasure, nor has any rich relation
left you legacy, diligence is the
mother of good luck, as Poor Richard
says, and God gives all things to
industry.
"Then plough deep while sluggards
sleep,
And you shall have corn to sell
and to keep"
How many Americans hav
modelled their lives around the teach
ings of Franklin we do not know
Even in his time people would not
abide by his philosophy as he
pointed out:
