TRUE THRIFT IS NOT RESTRICTIVE Tightwad and Miser as Bad as Spendthrift. v BY S. W. STKArS. Ansertcan Society for Thrift. A general understanding that true thrift la constructive rather than restrictive la essential at all times, and especially during these days of widespread unemployment and unrest. Many persons seem to think that thrift means spending as little as possible and. What Is even more unfortunate, many of them put this belief Into practice. Hence, at times such as we now are going through their misconceptions and false practices Interfere with the rightful progress of business. No man has a moral right to be miserly and thua become a dead weight on the Beck of business. All of us have duties to society In addition to those that are purely selfish. B Our abilities, our energies, our brains, Bur educational equipment, our experience, onr physical strength and our money should be utilised for the benefit of others as well as for ourselves. The greatest purpose In life is service. Mankind owes nothing to those who live purely for self alone. It should be borne In mind that real thrift means the elimination of waste of •very kind. It Is thrift, therefore, to spend money In such manner as will re•ult In our own upbuilding along rightful lines; and It la within the meaning of tme thrift to spend money that will redound to the general warfare of mankind as long as In doing so we keep within our means. No doubt a great amonnt of money coaid be spent along rightful lines by Individuals in America today which would be helpful to the general business situation, but this money is not being spent because of the misconceptions of thrift Which exist in the minds of many. The men who builds anew house for himself or for another man is practicing correct thrift, provided he builds within the bounds of prudent business practice. The farmer who develops bis farm or puts more land under cultivation, com inanities that create well-advised public works, are among further examples of constructive thrift. Let us understand that saving money ts only one of the countless good manifestations of thrift and that the miser and tightwad are no more thrifty than Is the spendthrift. Had we, as a Nation, understood and practiced Intelligently this constructive thrift there would not have been the widespread waste and extravagance that followed the war; neither would there be the extensive unemployment that exists In America today. State Entomologist Speaks at Princeton Frank N. Wallace, State entomologist gander the State department of conservaxTon, was to address a public meeting at Princeton this afternoon. Mr. Wallace was to speak on *'Care of Trees.” under the auspices of the Princeton Civic Club, which is endeavoring to Interest Princeton people in spraying fruit trees and the preservation of shade trees. Five years ago many fine shade trees In Princeton died and entomologists were at a loss to account for it, as investigation showed the trees were not attacked by disease or insect pest. Now there Is 6ome indication that gas tar, a property In a road spray, washed against the roots of the trees as a result of hard rains and caused their death.
