The fact that the gov- ernment is backing these credits proves that the cooperating associations are - on solid ground. The Better Housing Program aims to supply every possible provision te aid property owners, who are urged to “recog- nize the importance of keeping their homes and business properties in an efficient j operating condition.” Communities every- | where are asked to get behind the pro- gram and by doing so “not only aid in this great program to restore normal activity in one of the most important branches of American industry,” says the Administra- tor, but also “to put new life into prac- tically every line of business in the United States.” He adds: “Furthermore, its suc- eess will assuredly bring profits to all our citizens, because, whether or not he is the owner of home or business property, he is bound to benefit by the general stimula- tion of business that follows every great revival of building activity.” THE YEARS AHEAD The primary ambition of all men is to assure adequate economic protection for themselves and their dependents in the future. Of the many who aspire to that, few | achieve it. An overwhelming percentage of men become penniless dependents in old | age, and must be sustained by relatives or | organized charity. Many such men were once wealthy. Many more once held good jobs, which provided substantial surpluses above the income necessary for livelihood. | Many managed to build up sizeable es- tates, only_to see them swept away by one financial cataclysm’ 6f another. /2bet was the ease even before depression, and’ dur- % ing the last few years an infinitely greater than normal number of people have faced the tragie problem of approaching old- age without money or savings. The aim to be followed in any savings plan is security, rather than profit—small dividends from investments which offer maximum protection to principal, are far better than possible large profits from un- safe investments. Many excellent savings plans are offered to persons of all earning capacities—plans which permit the invest- i ment of a dollar a month or a thousand dollars. Life insurance, through its vari- | ous types of annuity and investment poli- eics, is one of tne best, as its fine record j during the last five trying years has | demonstrated. While businesses went un- | der, estates were dwarfed or disappeared, | and investments that once seemed _iron- ¢lad were swept away, that institution car- ried on as usual. { Whatever the plan, every man should | prepare for old age. Dollars that are | earned with comparative ease today will | come hard indeed when the period of | greatest productivity is over. Think of the years ahead. Most of us, when we grow older, get j more tolerant and perhaps a little wiser. i hus-} That is we stand for a little more and oe Garele could qualify-—to hear them tell it, | for a little Jes3—stuaré Daily News. _ locally.
