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.

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.
