| ---- ha SAVINGS OF A LIFETIME ndensed from The Saturaay Evening Post in thé Readers Digest i Margaret Culkin Banning We were talking of a man we all knew, and someone remark- , in the customary tones of horror, that the saving of his life- ime had all been swept away. Perhaps the lady who answered Prince Albert At a recent annual meeting of the Prince Albert United Church Congregation, Mr. 1. Dobson was elected elder, to fill the va- LONG EXPERIENCE bi as given the foundation to success | k had heard those words once too often. She said sharply, 'You mean that he lost his money." : The mouner nodded. "That's what I said." ; "No," said the lady, "you didn't say that. You told us that the savings of his lifetime were gone, which is not true. He has - made large investments in charities and educations for other people--investments which haven't depreciated and are yielding & return to society to-day, He's saved his simple habits and his pleasure in living. You don't have to worry about im, Worry about yourself 11 the savings of your lifetime are all going to be 'the kind that can be swept away ina depression," : ~~ .That gave me a good deal of comfort. These are the days when almost anyone may. find himself using 'the back of the nearest envelope to figure out how he stands and what the chances of permanent financial independence are. - But this lady told me the reason why all thoge subtractions and additions and percentages give only temporary satifaction or discouragement. ™ I know a woman who has saved more responsiblities than any- thing else during the seven decades of her life. She has seen more family troubles than most of us could endure. She has watched money come and go. Now her¥income must be no more than a wisp, and her responsibilities are bountiful. She always has rela- tives who need to have things done for them. They come to her, as do her friends, because she has saved so much human warmth and courage, If she were like the people of her own age, she would be old and tired. But during her lifetime she has saved enough competence and energy to keep herself going. - Avis illuminating to make a mental list of the people you kney, who could stand up under poverty, Miss M.-couldi't, She diminshed. under it. Shé seemed to have saved nothing with which to meet the emergencies of life except money, and when that was gone she was desperatly afraid of existence. I want to make up my mind what is really important to lay by for the future, 80 that every change won't frighten me out of my wits. There are two predominant reasons why we save money at all! The first is because other people are dependent on us. The second reason we save is for that state called an independent old age. . My savings for my children are to a considerable extent ex- penditures. 1 do not mean that I would like to leave them penni- less, especially during their dependent years, But if I had to make a choice, 1 would prefer to leave my children well-filled minds and many happy experiences of childhood and youth rather than money. It seems to me that we can be perfectly sure of one thing, Money that is put into a good education isn't going to be lost by any economic changes. 1 do not mean only four. years college; education begins early, and only a part of it is housed on campuses. cancy made by the passing of Mr. Geo.

But it is always debatable as to whether it is good or. the ones who receive it. A legacy in trust for a daughter may save her from an unhappy marriage. Or push her into one. A fortune for a son may thwart his natural ability.. For myself, I never can understand why any person who has known the joy of earning should want to deny it to anyone else, particularly to those dear to him, Money spent in bringing children up to be strong, intelligent and resourceful is the best saving, both for the individual and for civilization. As far as my. children are concerned, there will be a modest competence, if possible, * Even that competence might be swept away. = Well, then, they will still have what is being saved for them every day, what goes not into banks or bonds but into mind, and facility of body, and happiness. : oe There remains the other problem--that of saving for myself; for my own old age. I must admit that I find this much less inter- esting. That independent old lady sketched by the insurance agents isn't nearly the incentive the ehildren are. She may never exist. . But still I suppose I must take some thought for the care of her, if only to keep her. from being a nuisance to other people. Here again expenditures and savings dovetail. Much of the money put into experiences that are apparently transient I consid- er savings. The concert, the voyage, the visit with friends--I'm putting by a few of those things as I go along, © What does one save for, anyhow? For a few tired hours at the end of life when one sits and counts dollars? Or do we save 80 that those last years will not be mentally barren or esthetically shabby? I try to save a few things to furnish my mind decently, on the theory that no auctioneer can get in there to sell off all the furniture. Still, one must be practical. So I ought to save some money. Probably I can save enough for change too radically. , But I must be able and content to live on a small income. That means that I had better save all the simple tastes I have. It is a comfort to me that I really enjoy a boiled egg, a cup of tea and a piece of toast. I'm often extravagant about clothes. But I have some historic garments--a blue bath- robe and a tweed suit--that prove that I can wear things thread- bare. I like possessions, but I mean to keep from being dependent on them. I'll scrap the expensive tastes, if I must, and save the frugal ones, And if, in the end, I go over the hill to the poorhouse, I'll go in no slinking spirit. My tax receipts will.be clasped to my bosom, and I'll feel that at last I'm getting my money's worth! We worry too much about money and possessions. I wonder if it isn't our incompetence that frightens us. It looks like a hard, ruthless world ahead for selfish individuals, and we're so soft that we want to pad it with our savings. Without money and posses- sions, most of us feel lielpless.- Is it because we forget that the 'only thing each man is required to save--the only thing he secret- ly wants to save, no matter what ~-is his own "soul?
