Thrift Week Committee Suggests Household Budgeting Essential t" ? . -A. . I -V CHICAGO, ? Keeping a house hold expense budget Is as essen tial to the happiness of the mo dern American family as the na tional budget is to the safe opera* tiori of our government. This belief was affirmed to day by Walter W. McAllister, chairman of the Home Loan Bank Board, In commenting on the forthcoming observance of National Thrift Week sponsored by the National Thrift Committed which begins on next January 17th ? 248th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. "There is no better time to point up the need of personal foresight and self-reliance than thte birthday of that many-sided pioneer, commonly recognized as the most successful spokesman for the prudent and thrifty life In all our history," said Mr. Mc Allister. . "Fortunately, with the passage of every year, more American families arte planning their ex penditures and savings In ad vance."' "People are learning, too, that to estimate their future expenses Is not a tricky or wnrrlsorhe chore, Once It is started on a plan to suit the incomte, size, and as pirations of the family: It can be a profitable, fascinating experi ence, more fun than working out a cross-word puzzle. In many homes, the 'teenagers are brought Into those weekly or monthly hud dles, thus giving thtem some ear ly training in the management of their dimes and dollars." "Regular saving is a pleasure when people realize that It Is just deferred spending, providing means for later fulfillmtent of the alms that mean satisfaction in life". Among the secure forms of I thrift to foster, he emphasized savings accounts of all kinds, the purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds, and adequate life insurance Cov erage. Buying a good home on monthly payments Is one way of saving ? enforced but highly pleasurable for most parents, he recalled. "Of course If thrift is good for human beings it Is a healthy prac tlce for government too", Mr. Mc Allister said. "Besides the indi vidual, another benteflciary from greater development of th? sav ings habit is the whole economy of the nation, for the stream of new funds goes Into capital In vestment of all kinds, providing Increased temployment and pay rolls, and the construction of new homes, roads and other facilities. The National Thrift Commit tee, the sponsor of National Thrift Week, Is an united effort of all types of thrift through 1) the development of individual stelf - reliance through savings, 2) a balanced economy at gov ernmental and personal levels, 3) the knowledge of thrift In a free economy Is basic in the fu ture power and growth of this country, and 4) a program that will champion success.: In busi ness, contentment in thte home and a healthy civic Interest through a well planned program of money management.

Mr. Clapp says the finding thus far throw somfe light on why pasture growth slows down in midsummer and then recovers, under normal conditions, in the fall. The research is being carried out at the USDA's Beltsvllle, Md., test farm. Its purpose was to study the effect of light upon plant growth and showted that bromegrass recovers its growth more rapidly after cutting and produces more new shoots when the days are short. During the longer days of midsummer, re covery was not so rapid. All the cut shoots on three strains of broomgrass showted new growth when cuttings were made during a season with II hour days. But cut shoots show ing new growth in a 14-hour day ranges from 56 to 84 per cent, and the proportion showing new growth dropped to a range of 18 to 51 per cent when the day was prolonged to 17 hours. Decrease in production during long days was found to be great er in broomgrass strains from the middle and southern latituc" os than in .northern strains. Sunday.
