BQYDSTQN ITEMS
Wealthy people show how weak
they are when they insist upon hav-
ing all the luxuries we poor people
enjoy. Those of us who are living
from hand to mouth must have auto-
mobiles and fine clothes in order to
keep up appearances, but the weal-
thy generally have money, so tyhy
should they strive to appear rich?
We poor people can’t feel sure we
will have even enough to eat next
week or next month, so we must grab
at everytihng in sight today. In a
short time we may be without the
necessities of life, so we must deck
ourselves out grandly and strut
while we can. But the rich know
they always will have what they
need so why can’t they be reason-
able and quit imitating the extrava-
gance of those of us who feel the
pinch of poverty.—Claud Callan.
