SAMMONS, Chairm an Bud gut Departm ent Oregon National T hrift Committee How to get ahead financially, yet live decently and well, is doubtless tl e most absorbing and Im portant m at te r confronting the average person or the average family, and that la the sib je c t we wish to discuss and an ti avor to assist In solving. No discussion of the subject can be gin or end w ithout mention of the meaning of "T hrift.” T hrift means g od management, vigorous grow th; it means spending less than you earn; It m eans saving system atically. It dees not mean th at one should stop spending; on the contrary, it means s.lending, but spending wisely and thoughtfully Instead of carelessly. T here Is but one real way to dis cuss the question of T hrift and th a t Is: W hat will T hrift do for me? The personal equation is all th ere is to 7 hrlft -d ecid e what you want and if you want It badly enough and are will- Ing to pay the price you probably can have It. W hat are your w ants? Do you v, ant a home and peace and content m ent, a few flowers, a bit of green lawn, perhaps some fruit and vege tables, the dancing fire light from the glowing em bers of the fireplace? Do you want the thrill of cutting bond coupons; do you desire to cash interest or dividend checks, or do you prefer to spend as you earn, jazzing along life's highw ay? The decision must be made. The T hrift way, you say? Very well then, let us give heed to a few simple worth while suggestions. The first of these is to keep track of all disbursem ents, In other words, follow a budget plan. Through that find out If you are wasting money; if so, stop the leak. The concluding thought I wish to leave Is th at T hrift is not easy. It is hard work to save unless you have a regular system atic savings plan. If you would get ahead, decide upon the am ount to be saved, then bank It every payday. Just the same as though it were any other bill which must be paid. Following this plan for a few months will so fix the habit that the plan may be made effective without Inconvenience and with splendid re sults. T hrift m eans frugality, aeon omy. To be thrifty one must be will lug to "pay the price" by practicing frugal|ty and economy, and reaping the rew ards of saving and Investing.
