SE N IO R S’ EXTRACTS FROM COLONEL L E A D E R ’S
TALK
The Battle of the Somme was the first real battle
for . universal
< democracy.
“ If you want to make a good citizen out of a Boche,
begin with his grandfather.”
The Battle of the Somme was the greatest battle of
the world. Nothing has ever happened to compare
with it.
“ I believe that the Americans will never cross the
Mexican border, but they will pick it up and carry it
down to the Panama Canal.”
“ American boys, from U. S. A. in the Canadian
regiment, were the first to go “ Over The Top” in
the great battle of the Somme.
“ At the Battle of the Somme for the first time in
the history of the world, an army of citizen soldiers
went up against a great professionally trained arm y.”
“ Who goes there?”
“ Army Chaplain.”
“ Pass, Charlie Chaplain.”
“ Lafayette, the Americans have come!” This
sentence will go dowm in history as one of the great
est speeches of the world war. It was made by Gen
eral Pershing as he stood before the monument of
Lafayette in France.
A big husky man came up to the recruiting officer
and asked to join:
“ How old are you?”
“ Forty-eight.”
“ The age limit is thirty-six. Better go take a
walk and think it over.”
The man left and returned a few minutes later.
“ I made a mistake, sir. I ’m thirty-six. I t’s my
mother that’s forty-eight.”

F R A N K L IN ON T H R IFT
Save and have.
Every little makes a mickle.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
God helps those that help themselves.
Spend one penny less than thy clear gains.
Look before or you’ll find yourself behind.
The way to wealth is as short as the way to market.
He that w aits upon fortune is never sure of a dinner.
Money can beget money, and its offspring can be
get more.
It is foolish to lay out money in a purchase of re
pentance.
Learning is to the studious and riches to the care
ful.
Waste neither time nor money but make the best
use of both.
Remember that money is of the prolific, generating
nature.
All things are cheap to the saving, dear to the
wasteful.
If you would be wealthy, think of saving as w*ell as
getting.
Bewaie of small expenses, a small leak will sink a
great ship.
A penny saved is a twopence clear. A pin a day is
a groat a year.
Gain may be temporary and uncertain, but expense
is constant and certain.
Buy what thou hast no need of, and ere long thou
shalt sell thy necessaries.
It is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy
all that follow it.
He that murders a pound destroys all that it might
have produced, even scores of pounds.
