PLAN YOUR
SPENDING
No one really wants to take on
more obligations than he can pay
for, but some of us do. Why? Be
cause many of us do not sit downj
and figure how much we have!
and what it will take to buy the
things that are really important
to us.
HELPFUL HINTS:
DO
(1) Write down your income,
expenses and savings lor one
month.
(2) Do plan for a savings pro
gram to meet unexpected emer
gencies or to save for the extra
Ithtngs you want in the future.
(3) Do set aside some money
so you wont be broke before pay
day.
DON'T
(1) Don't fall for the old sales
gag: "This other man will buy it
if you don't." If Salesman Sam
really held someone that eager to.
buy he wouldn't be trying so hard
to sell you.
(2) Think over every purchase
carefully and don't forget the man
with the refrigerator will sell it
to you tomorrow if the deal is
sound.
(3) Don't buy anything for caahi
Or credit that you don't need just
because it is cheap. You dent
need a super-duper sweeper if you
don't have-a rug. Try to match
your needs and wants with your
ability to pay for them.

By DANIEL GRANT 7
(Biblical Recorder) , .
The commoniy held potion , by .
Christians and non-Christians a
like that "politics is dirty" is .aa
persistent and universal as the ex
istence of government itself.- Sim
ply to mention politics is to cause
visions of corrupt payons , dis
honesty and evil scheming m a
smoRefil'ed room. There seems
to be no need to prove that poli
tics is dirty because everyone sim
ply accepts it as a strong as
sumption; they know politics is
(dirty.'
For the jok ester it is always
open season on the politician, with
probably more jokes about the dis
honest politician than any other
single category in the joke books
of the world. What politician has
not been reminded for example,
that an honest politician is one
who, when bought, stays bought.
If politics is dirty, why do we'
never hear it said that "democra
cy is dirty?" In twenty years of
teaching: about government and'
politics, I have not heard a single
person make the statement that
democracy is dirty, even though
politics is the process by which
people rule themselves in a democ
racy. Why, then, is there such
paradoxical agreement that poli
tics is dirty?
Label Is Reserved
Actually this notion could be
accepted if one means by it that
mankind is dirty, or siafuL and
What therefore all human institu
tions are "dirty" in this sense. But
an honest observer would have to
report that people predominantly
reserve this label for politics and
politicians.
Why ie this ;the case? Why
should the nubne and she press.
