The farmer who plants and culti

mcmb'.iv'^ p this vaelt
interest docs the building
and loan idea make more direct,
compelling appeal than to labor of
all classes.
Labor’s valiant effort to secure a
at is factory wage for its members
has culminatd in America in what
labor itsell, 30 years ago would have
termed u Utopian dream, so great
lias been the change in the econom-
mic status of the worker.
The building and loan associa
tion provides a safe and yet easily
eccessible plane for savings at a
splendid rate of earnings and en
ables the worker, after tye has ac
cumulated a definite sum. to buy
build a home, and gives him elev-
years to pay off the debt.
Through its stimulation of home
building, it provides him with, work
jithcr directly, if he is in a build
ing trade, or indefinitely through
increases in demand for raw ma
terials.
So much for labor. Now* for tfye
:~!at!on of the building and loan as
sociations and the banks. There
should he no spirit of competition
between them.
The bank is concerned with short
•.'me loans to finance business and
indust!ia! operations; the building
and loan, associations are interested
only in the mortgage placed on the
homes m the community. The
building and loan association is the
‘ mortgage hank" of the masses. The
question of the diversion of savings
is perhaps the most delicate of all.
The banker is presented checks
drawn on savings accounts in favor
of the buildings and loan associar
tion, and he quite naturally decides
that the association is harming his
business.
The money is not shipped awray
but is loaned on first mortgages
immediately to build homes, and
thus creates additional wealth in the
community. It is paid out to the
lumberman, the painter, the hard
ware man, the plasterer, the plumb
er, the brick-mason—all the various
lines of labor and merchandising
w’hich are among the most highly
prized customers of the bank to
whose vaults this n. % .y quickly
*inds its way again.
Th building and loan association
aids the bank in that it raises the
general economic level of the coun-
‘ ry; mobilizes idle funds, deposits
them in bulk in the local bank and
disburses them thru the channels of
lornl trade, and is thus one of the
best feeders of the bank; starts in
dividuals on the way It, becoming
bank customers: makes possible the
growth of communities which will
mean increased business for the
banks. The savings of the people
are kept at home and earn the mem
bers of the association exceptionally
good returns.
Many bankers, realizing the bene
ficial effort of building and loan
associations on general business,
u.o actively supporting those insti
tutions ami encouraging them in their
work of promoting co-operative
thrift md home ownership.
BOY SCOUTS CO OVER THE TOT
The Milledgevillc troop o? the [
Boy Scouts of America are gaining
headway rapidly. Last week an ar-!
tide appeared in this paper, urging;
the boys to send in thpir names to i
Dr. Fambrough. As a result, they
went over the top last week. They j
now hav.* an enrollment of twenty
boys and they are still coming in.
It w*as the desire of the Kiwanis
C!uh„ Sponsorers of the movement,
nnd the Scout Committee, to start
the Scouts her with a small enroll
ment. These boys will be trained in
Patrol Leadership, Assistant Patrol
Leadership. Scribe etc., etc. Then
when the larger number of boys do-
* : re to join, they wrould be ready and
capable of handling them.
Dr. Fambruorh is very plenned
with the progress these boys arc
making and assures them that they
will soon have a fine Boy Scout
troop here in Milledgeville.
As soon as the Committee can get
together they will rhoose eight or
ten boys from this list and call a
meeting. This will possibly be be
fore Christmas. The boys are urged
though to keep sending in their
names. We can use them all later.
Word has been received from V.
Carl Sullivan, .Scout oxocutf. e in
Macon, expressing his delight in the
progress the boys are making here.
Ir. Sullivan will be at the first
meeting ^nd tell the boys something
f the glory of being a Boy Scout.
