Average Americans Have Had.
Good Last Year Babson Reveals
Babton Park, Mas*.. Sept —
50, If you're an average
American, this la*t year has
been an unusually successful
one You've had i^ood em-
ployment, have probably “col-
lected" mote money than
ever before im your life, and
you've bought a lot of things,
including several of the more
costly items purchased on the
Installment plan For your
#wn safety, do you owe too
many' people too much"
P-'(1 Debt Boom Due
To Shorter Hours —
There is a boom of a new
soil which has been shaping
up in recent months,—a had
debt boom Collection agen-
r,c* are -having the most busi-
ness they have had in many
months, with increases in their
business of from 3t to 100
pei <ent. Th.s means, of
course, that a great ma-y
people are not paying their
bills. As a matter of fact,
the American Collectors As-
sociation estimates that shout
10 million families, or one in
every five, ate over ’heir
heads in debt Do you realize
’ Unit Americans today owe
more than $12 5 billions on
<er-installment loans; that
mortgage debts are < lose to
the $125 billion mark" And
these are but two items people
purchase or, time while work-
ing shorter hours
Why are people so deeply in
debt in such good t imes . i he
< ollcrtion agency will, tell you

not usualh- unemployed.. The
difltcuity is that he is in-
creasing hss debt while wo; k-
inc fewer hours He may be
r. lining $4,000. per year, but
due to shorter hours prices
h \c gone up and he if spend-
ing at the rate of $3000 !,e

The trouble is that too few
people really care what is hap-

ture generations will have to
liquidate our present govern-
ment Debt. This is true re-
garding the big Federal Debt,
iiu? it has nothing to do with
your personal debts. You must
^-ay these up yourself. Let us
remember that with the ma-
terial prosperity which we in-
herit there goes a responsibili-
ty to our children and our com-
munity to leave our country fi-
nancially strong for them. Let
us be fair to those who will fol-
low us. that they may enjoy the
standard of living we now know.
Let us not fall short of this ob-
ligation. but meet our borrow-
ing with increased production
SO as to hold up the purchasing
power of our dollar

DEWITT FARM
BUREAU SEEKS
NEW MEMBERS
Drive Gets Underway
October 3rd Says
Kahlich
DeWitt County Farm Bureau's
official fall membership drive
will get underway Oct. 3rd. and
will last through Oct. 10th., ac-
cording to John Kahlich, county
membership chairman.
Goal for the drive has been
! set for 500 members. The organi-
sation already has 300 new mem-
bers and renewals signed up so
far this year. Last year the niem-
Ntship figure stood at 400.
Membership acquisition efforts
in this county are tied in with an
intensive statewide membership
roundup. Most of the drive activi-
ty will be concentrated during
! the week October 3-8. which is
"Texas Farm Bureau Organiza-
tion Week.”
During that Week thousands of
volunteer membership Workers
will contribute a day or more of
their time to enrolling their neigh-
bors in the Farm Bureau.
The state's goal has been set
71.000 for 1955. Some 40,000
r.ew members and renewals had
been turned into the State head-
quarters at Waco early tn Sep
iember. The other 30.000 the
Farm Bureau hopes to gel will
have to be signed up in October
a> the organization’ fiscal year
ends October 31.
The Farm Bureau is the largest
general farm organization in the.
world with organizations in all1
48 states and in the Common-
y, eaith of Puerto Rico. Among
he more important things the
harm Bureau does for its mem-
bers . . . and agriculture in sen-
e'al . . . is to protect the farm-
ers' inteiesfs 'in' the state- and
national cap. a!s. Policies which
gi .de the Farm Bureau are de-
■ doped at the “grass roots” lev-
el.
