By E C. 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.
