PUBLISHED MONDA YS AND THURSDAYS iTIIFTCim CONCORD GETS OFF 10 FINE BEGINNING -a— Opening Event in Week’s Program Was Address by H. ( R. Dwire, Newspaper Man From Twin-City. THRIFT AND ITS EFFECT DISCUSSED Schools and Public Places in the City to Be Visited by Speakers During the Cam paign Which Lasts a Week Declaring rhat it is best that one go to the Bible to get the true definition and meaning of thrift, which is very definite terms hi* described ns th» very antithtesis of stinginess, 11. R. Dwire. editor of the Winston-Salem Sentinel, opened the Thrift Week campaign in Concord Wdenesday night' with a very i able address delivered before a represen tative crowd at tlie court house. Con sidering the unfavorable weather and the fact that this is the first thrift eam jaign ever conducted in Concord, the crowd that heard Mr. Dwire was un usually large. Mr. Dwire. who came to Concord at the invitation of L. M. Richmond, of the Concord Rotary Club, was introduced i by W. G. Caswell, of the Rotary Club, | after Dr. S. W. Rankin, president of. he club, briefly stated the purpose of the meeting. Several numbers by the baud of the Stonewall Jackson Training School proved enjoyable features of the meet ing. the band playing one number at the square before beginning the regular con cert at tthe court house. Mr. Dwire stated in beginning his address that he delighted to know that Concord was to conduct a thjift campaign. It is encouraging, he stated, to see that people are studying funda mentals instead of sitting idly by while so-called fundamentals are being studied by some group or class who are looking merely for the spectacular. It is es- ‘ peeially appropriate, the Twin-City edi tor added, that the campaign should be sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., an or ganization which stands for the three fold development of the man. for thrift - M -«rt'fiStfiWnt i ~ aWa*. - . It is necessary for a, community or individual to have vision if it would ap preciate thrift, Mr. Dwire stated in j pointing dut that should he have selected a text he would have chosen the sen tenee of Solomon : “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Vision is essential to any thrift, he added. The man who saves for the rainy day, the person who prepares the budget so that flunk* will be provided for particular things, the man who makes the will so that loved ones are cared for ,the man who builds his home and the man who pays his debts have vision. The very fact that they do these things demon strates their vision just as a failure to do these things demonstrates a lack of vision. Where there is so much extravagance there is little thrift, Mr. Dwire stated. Americans, he charged, put too much reliance on the country’s great re sources. They think th eresources will never give out, and thoy are not learn ing the true meaning of thrift. The viewpoint of th eaverage American in this matter in twisted, Mr. Dwire con tinued. Americans will spend 12 bil lion on luxuries and one 'billion dollars on education. Americans are putting the emphasis at the wrong place. “We talk in billions now just as we formerly talked in thousands. We can get an idea of a billion by remembering that there hasn’t been a billion minutes since Jesus Christ was born.” Americans are extravagant iu all mat ters, Mr. Dwire added. In this coun try today we have extravagance in ex penditures by the government, iu talk and in various other matters. The peo ple of America need to practice thrift in dealing with commonplace things. But in practicing thrift, the speaker warned, one is not to confuse it with stinginess. “The Bible taught that one should make proper use of his goods. Stinginess, hoarding of money and covet ing that which is sone one else’s is con demned in the Bible as strongly as is waste. Being thrifty means using your money where it will do the greatest good. The model of a thrifty is not he who hoards his money. Andrew Car negie is always spoken of as a thrifty man. yet it is said that in the latter years of his life he had control of $2,- 000,000 in interest money each day and this money waff kept at work. Carnegie retired from work, but he did not retire his capital.” Air. Dwire stated that in reading facts about Copeord he was impressed with the city’s commercial growth, but he stated that the greatest asset of this or any city is its intangible resources. “I mean by this,” he added, “co-operation between individuals, the obligation felt to help the unfortunates, the obliga tion felt to help the undeveloped, the needy. I mean those subtle resources that really develop a city, and yet do not show on the balance sheets. “And what do these intangible re sources develop? They a man self control, punctuality, a sense'of commun ity interest, and above all they have a moral effect. “They develop within a man charac ter. unselfishness, love for his fellow man. They teach that getting the dol lar is not all that counts and that with tlie accumulations of wealth there comes the duty to spend it wisely and for the common good. “The fact that Concord is to have a thrift campaign shows that the right CONCORD, N.

Charlottet, Jan. 17. —The State Port and Ship Commission met at 10:30 this morning to start work of drawing up the report to bo submittp dto Governor Cameron Morrison.
