Thrift Week, promoted by the University Y. M. C. A., working in accordance with the national movement
fos'tcred by the National Thrift Committee of the National Y. M. C. A.,
was observed on the campus of the
University the week of January
More than 40 civic, commercial, educational and religious national organizations
to cause the observance of this week throughout the
United States and Canada.
Budget books were distributed by
the University Y. M. C. A. to all the
students who desided to keep a personal account of their assets and expenditures. These books are designed to
aid the student in keeping his persanal
expenses. Secretary Bart Peak announces that many of the books have
been distributed among the students
and that any student who desires- one
many have it by calling at his office.
The purpose of this national movement is to stimulate the individual to
think straight and to act wisely in regard to personal money matters in the
realm of earning, spending, saving,
investing, and giving.
The basic creed of thrift consists of
the following ten rules:
Work and earn.
Make a budget.
Record expenditures.
Have a bank account
Carry life insurance.
Own your home.
Make a will.
Invest in safe securities.
Pay bills promptly.
