IS THE - 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 31, 1917. SATURDAY IS DAY TO START TO SAVE February 3, Designated as "Thrift Day," to Be Ob 4. served in Portland. ALL NATION JOINS MOVE llankcrs Urge Citizens to Open Ac counts, ZVo Matter IIow Small They May Be Stores, Schools and . Churches to Co-operate. Vext Saturday the word "thrift'' will he the most popular in Portland and the most especially used monosyllable in the tinted States. "Thrift" will appear in special arti cles and special programmes; it will bo the motif of advertisements by mer chants and bankers; it will be a spe cial subject for the millions of school children on Friday and the text for sermons on Sunday. For, be it remembered, Saturday, Feb ruary 3. will be "Thrift day' all over the land. The committee in Oregon for the promotion of thrift, appointed last year by the Oregon Chapter of the Ameri can Institute of Banking, has been car rying on a general campaign of edu , cation among all classes of people and appreciable results have been obtained. That the habit of savingr is actually jfrowing and that thrift is being- more uenerally practiced is noted in the sub stantial sain in savings deposits in virtually every town and city in the Ptate where there are "banking- facili ties. Small Deposit Welcomed. "Almost all permanent and beneficial accomplishments start in a small way." paid T. II. West, chairman of the thrift committee yesterday. "If anyone hasn't u bank account and decides to observe Thrift day by opening one, we advise Jiim not to put off because it may be email. It is quite possible that the I'anker will welcome that compara tively small initial deposit even more than the big one. He knows from ex perience that many of the largest and most satisfactory accounts in his in stitution were started by persons who opened their accounts in a small way. "The observance of Thrift day can be most profitable through starting for ourselves those practices of others that can be applied to our own operations. Thrift day is a day particularly set aside as a banner day to remember starting something a day on which action is begun. "The committee's advice Is: Start a new thrift habit on Thrift day. There Is untold satisfaction in self-help: there will be much enjoyment In participat ing with the many thousands who now celebrate the day." Work Carried to Schools. On Friday Superintendent of Schools "Alderman will send letters to each of the school teachers, calling attention to the meaning of Thrift day. 'These letters will be read to the pupils in every school in the city. The committee will request merchants and bankers to feature the significance of thrift in their advertisements. Mer chants also will be urged to conduct "thrift sales." The ministers of Port land will be asked to make special mention of the thrift movement in their sermons on Sunday.
