The New Committee
IH B ull , u h i »
of a new committee. One which will have to do
tvith civic affairs, industries and activities of a
similar nature. This committee presents possibil
ities that are without number and will undoubted
ly become one of the most important and outstand
ing ones in the entire organisation.
It has often been a mystery to us, just why
any city council should not recognize the fact that
their duty should lie extended to include thia phase
of a cities life.-**- Assuming that the affairs of a
city are similar to that of the ordinary business
institution, then such work as Is being inaugerated
by the present administration should .be an integral
part of their duty, for no business institution if
they are progressive and have the welfare of the
city at heart, overlooks the fact; that a certain
amount of time and money must he spent in assisting
in civic affairs that cannot be placed in the regular
category of business.
There is hardly ’a day goes by but what a call
is not made upon the city to perform some task,
mat is outside *of the regular routine of city affairs.

Thrift and Crime
Causes of crime which are being studied in all
parts of the country will bring forth a multiplicity
of theories, some sound and some illogical and fan
tastic.
There will be no rightful disputing of the fact,
however, that lack of thrift is at the bottom of much
current crime. A young man livQa,beyond his means.
He feels the pressure for more monev. He takes a
little. Then more and more and finally, in order to
make a big haul, he turns to banditry. Police re
cords and court testimony in thousands of cases
within the last few years will bear out the truth
of those statements.
One of the outstanding facts of current life—
a fact which the police magistrates of any of ottr
great cities will verify—that instead of cultivating
sensible practices and living sane and moral lives,
many of our boys and young men are allowing
themselves, step by step, to get into ways that re
quire more money than they are earning and, due to
these fast habits, are dissipating their ambitions and
rotting their moral fibre.
There is nothing more stabilizing than consist
ent thrift Those who practice it not only have the
advantage that comes with the conservation of their
material resources, their health and their energies,
but they have also the advantage of sane judgment
and normal viewpoints upon the problems and re
sponsibilities of life.
In our efforts to stem the tide of crime, which
in many places has reached such a condition that
special communities of investigation have been
ap]»ointed, a great amount of constructive good
could be accomplished through the encouragement
of thrift.

There is an inter-relationship between sound
economics and sound morals. Moral betterment must
