to how best train our youngsters in the fine art of saving. We've all tried, and have done the best we know how. But now. come skilled experts in finance are offering to help us teach the children thrift and in away which will be entertaining to them as well as educational. Thousands of Savings and Loan Associations across the United States are offering a free, four color, 20-page comic book entitled "laving Can Be Fun.” The books are available at all member Ass-xiations of The Savings & Loan Foundation. Inc. The moppet members of your family may have their complimentary copy fur the asking. It s a fun book to read, easily understandable by any child over the age seven. And it's a safe bet that your own children have exxperiened some of the same problems encountered by twins .i^mny and Judy in tne comic book story. Our compliments to the businessmen who accept this kind of community responsibility — and who knows the values of thrift better than professional financial people? "Saving Can Be Fuli" is not the total answer to good savings habits among our young people. But it's a mighty good start in the right direction.

ascends the roots of a mangrove tree, many of which grow near the shore. Thus it gets another name, "mangrove fish.” Issac Watts, Hymn Writer. Isaac Watts, the hymn writer, was born at Southampton in 1674. From 1696 to 1701 he was a tutor in the family of Sir John Hartopp. He became minister of th" independent church at Mark Lane, London, 1702. resigning in 1712 because of ill health.

Nature Supplies Power and Ice from Volcanoes. Sometimes Nature supplies power for nothing. The people of Larderello, in the Province of Pisa, Italy, live at the foot of an active volcano. Every unit of heat, power and light used in the town is obtained from its fierly interior, thus savings the citizens endless expense and taxation. In addition, commercial borax is obtaned from "blow holes” in the hillside, relates a writer in London Answers Magazine. The people in Styria Austria, live beside another kindly mountain This is “Dcr Erzbcrg,” the Iron Mountain, which is 5.000 feet high and contains about 300.000.000 tons of Iron ore — fifty per cent of its volume. Then* is another iron mountain in Sweden - Kiirunavaara - which is 2.455 feet high and contains more high-grade iron than any other equal area on earth for seventy per cent is pure iron. Nature has also her own gas works. Medicine Hat. in Alberta, has for years obtained gas and light from inexhaustible subterranean generating stations. There are a number of wells which supply fifty miles of houses and streets Welland, Ontario, also hanatural gas supply, and so has some of the Mid-Western of the United States, but in the latter case gas is sent by pipeling from Texas - where the wells are - 800 miles away. Mexico has a volcano that pro duces ice. This is Colima, which sometimes bursts into activity. ’ sorm;' fi’eftk huge hailstones fall continuously around the crater. Thore are collected in special bins conveyed t distant towns and sold in case and hotels. TIP TO MOTORISTS Safe driving is serious business: Be alert be steady don't drive in the past tense. Use Your Seat Belts Always!
