BOY'S SQURMING + BARES $5,000 HOARD L%ns Cibs Also Reveal Men's Loss of Buried Savings. Mow & small boy, unsble to keep quiet in his seat in school was found to have $5,000 in bills on his person, and how one poor man with buried money was unable to find it are among the stories related by the International Association of Lions Clubs, which is carrying on a campaign against hoard- ing through its ‘“activities depart- ment,” with headquarters in Chicago. The small boy in school became the object of suspicion because he could not refrain from squirming in his seat, according to the Lions Club report. When he was examined the bills were found sewed to his underclothes. Unable to Find Money. | Another case was reported of a man “who had inquired at a hardware store for & “sounding” device which would detect buried metal. In explanation of questions asked him the man stated that he had buried all of his savings in a piece of lead pipe and was now unable to locate the pipe. Accounts from other sources to the Lions Club tell of money dated prior to the Civil War now coming into cir- culation. “One dollar in hoarding since the Civil War, if it had been properly invested. said a_statement rom the club headquarters, “would now be worth approximately $29.” The intensive lnté—holrdlng catt:- is being carried on among the g‘s’o‘é’ Lions Clubs throughout the country. 2 In their efforts to support the anti- hoarding movement, the International Association of Lions has made the fol- lowing recommendations to their clubs: Objects of Drive -Told. “1, Pay debts. 2. Buy normally. 3. Place savings in savings account of some bank in which you have confi- chase A. B. checks. 6. Start a good business or buy into one already estab- lished. 7. If necessary, deposit momey in Postal Savings accounts.” ‘The objects of the Lions campaign are, “first to get money, now hidden, into circulation, and second, to conduct a cam] of popular education as to the functions of money, of banks, of credit, and to show the disastrous con- sequences when credit 1s restricted by money withdrawn from the arteries of business.” Melvin Jones, founder and secretary general of Lions International is a member of the Advisory Committee of Col. Knox, chairman of the National Committee Against Hoarding.
