Someone has said that there are fiv£ foods
which are essential in a person’s grow'th. They
are love, learning, beauty, service and suffering.
Without these foods the soul does not grow.
Given hunger—the soul grows in an experi
ence of love. We are nourished when one hung
ers for learning, studies, seeks mastery of a sub
ject. Beauty comes only when we strive to ap
preciate or create the beautiful.
Suffering as food may seem to us as hard ex
periences, but have you not noticed that men in
tent upon spiritual achievement have grown more
- surely and rapidly when suffering was their
lot, rather than when life moved along like a
song.
OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: No high
or higher stage in life is reached without de
votion.

Today’s average American
housewife is a pretty shrewd busi
nesswoman. She has to be . . .
what with all the problems that
inflation has brought. That’s why
she’s mighty careful about how
she spends her money. And that’s
why grocery Stores, supermarkets
and the like run those advertise
ments telling her about their sales.
They know she’s constantly look
ing for ways to save money.
The supermarket is a pretty
good place to save money. But it’s
not the only place housewives can
save money. They could open a
Peoples Bank Savings Account
and save money there too. £ -
So if you’re a housewife trying
to save money . . . try saving it
