"A penny saved is a penny earned."
—English proverb
The lesson of that nifty phrase f incorrectly at
tributed to Bon Franklin i is, of course, thrift Now
how many times a year do we spend money we
can't really afford for things we don't really need?
We're all guilty we re even encouraged to over
spend. But Ihe day of the payoff comes due sooner
or later. Either we borrow more, or go bankrupt.
Think on the number of times the government
nudges us to spend, and spend and spend (Sound
familiar?) Think on how the government itself sets
the example. Think how often they feed us the pap
a lout spending a couple of more billion to end our
aches and pains.
But never, never not ever does anyone say
where the money's coming from.
You see, with the government it isn't earned
money that’s being saved it s new money that
hasn't had a chance to lie either. The government
never loams its lesson at home.
Politics and Business
The principal reason for the present low state
of our government is the reluctance of business and
professional people and much of our white collar
group to engage in polities. We have turned the task
of selecting our officials over to the politician, the
do-gooder, the moocher and the something-for-noth
ing camp follower.
The result is that government is denied the
guidance of really successful people. When some
outstanding business man is induced to accept an
apjKiintment he seldom lasts long in the job because
his actions are not always politically expedient and
he is soon hounded out of his jiosition by the politicos.
Furthermore, because of this reluctance to par
ticipate in the rough-and-tumble arena of jiolitics,
those who have done the most to bring progress and
prosperity to the nation are made the whipping-lioys
of those who envy their jiosition and success but are
unwilling to devote the time, energy and devotion
to the job at hand which has brought about this po
sition and success. Italy (Texas) News-Herald.
Encouraging
Every morning the sun rises, every spring the
flowe rs bloom, every night the Great Dipper is Just
where it is supposed to be, most parents love their
children, 9H per cent of our youngsters are not de
hnouents, most promises are faithfully kept, and
there is still far more love than hate in the world,
n spite of all the television and newspaper head
lines. The Pana (111.) News-Paladium.
No Hands
There's one thing about that expedition for a
closer look at Venus. If she's anything like her
statue, at least she won't have a hand out. Nash
