Fd have a better job in my company today i my family had been able to give me, a college education. Ik happened a year ago. Maisie and I had just about given up the idea as hopeless. Doug had just started high school, which meant a good deal of expense, and then he fell desperately ill with shewssadic fever. Our debes bad us crippled. Fhen one day, whea I was cashing my pay-cheque at the bank, I happened to get into conversation with the Accountant -- chap called Henry Baldwin who goes to our church... and before I knew it I was pouting out my troubles. He asked me a few questions about my job, my salary... # I bad any securities or life insurance. I told him I had no bonds left, but did have 2 bit of insurance I took out when we got massied.

Boy, that account's been working overtime ever since... first paying bills with the loan we got, and then getting regular deposits -- not just to pay off the loan, but to really save money. We were mighty relieved to get that bank loan a year aga, but I think we're more thankful foe x what we learned when we were in a jam --that we really could save dough i ff we made up our minds to it and got a really practical budget-plan working for us, Personal Planning has given us that ...and let me tell you that boy's going to college -- for sure, Saving is the only way to move ahead of your worries, and stay ahead.
