iATHHIAL THRIFT
WEEK JAN. 14-23
HtOeV   SVBNT  NOW   ESTABLISHED
NECESSARY   MOVEMENT
OP THE YEAR.
"*
i
This Is National Thrift Week, com-
prlslng a series ot events now firmly
established as one at the big, funda-
damantal and necessary movements
of each year. Approprately enough,
It begins on Benjamin Franklin's birthday—tor Franklin was the "Father of
Thrift"—and extends through to January SS, aach day being devoted to
some special thrifty eentrplresw.OoR
soma apsctal thrifty enterprise, such as
"Own Your Own Home", "Pay Your
Bills Promptly" and "Start a Savings Account." This Is a movement
purely altruistic, concieved and sponsored by tha National Thrift Commit-
too of tha Y. M. C. A. and observed ln
ovary community throughout the Unit-
ad States.
People Id thia locality perhaps will
ao most interested ln "Own Your Own
Homo" day, which Is to be observed
Saturday, January 20. "Own Your
Own Home" day this year Is marked
with special significance. Inasmuch as
Ohioans In avery community built
mora homes during the last twelve
months -than at any other time ln history. According to a survey Just
mods by building and loan associations throughout Oblo—which institutions finance ninety per cent of all
tha homes built in the Buckeye State
—thOre will be as much home-bulld-
Ing during tbe next twelve months, tf
not more, thou there was during tbe
year Just ended.
Ohioans last year built ln the
neighborhood of 60,000 new homes,
and according to the United States
Department of Commerce, 120,000
mora homes are needed to properly
bouse everyone ln the Buckeye State.
This means that Ohio's building program must be continued unabated for
the next three years if everyone is to
•ho properly housed.
"Spend time and money wisely", is
tBO slogan for Thrift week. No one
can doubt -the value of such a doctrine
nor can the motives involved be questioned. Success cannot bring gain to
any particular business, organization
ear creed. Thrift's success is your success. It waa Benjamin Franklin who
sold, "If yon know how to spend less
than you get, you have the philosopher's stone." Thousands of Ohioans
are now laying something aside each
waak, that they may eventually own
their own homes.
Because of this practice of thrift
■and economy, Ohio has become the
second greatest home-owning state In
the United States and Its people are
among -tha moat substantial in the
world. This community should be
proud to ba an integral part of a great
state which has made such a great re
cord In thrift and saving.

On next Monday the county commissioners will decide as to whether
there will be a re-appratsment of real
estate in Lorain County this year or
not. Anyone Intrested con appcr before the commissioners either for or
against un  upprulsment ut that time.
Auditor Monroe Welty has notified the commisloners in accordance
With the State statute that in nia|
opinion a re-appralsment Is not necessary. He gives as his reason, that an
uppruisment was had ln 1917, and that
some sixty other counties in the State
have had no such appralBment. As a
result the taxpayers of Lorain county are already paying more in proportion thun other counties of the
Btute. Mr. Welty states thut if the
State legllature now ln session should
pass u measure calling for a re-ap-
praiomonl of ull the lund In the State,
then he would be in fuvor of it, but
not under present conditions.
The firemen at Lorain, whose wuges
have been held up on account of the
Inability of the city to meet the payroll on account of a shortage of city
funds, -%re advocating a re-apprals-
inont of real estate In that city so as
to provide more funds. On the other
hand a delegation ot business men
from Lorain, huve uppeared before
the auditor protesting against such action being taken. In view of the
stand taken by the auditor It is not
considered likely that the commissioners will recommend u re-apprais-
ment this year.
