Let your HEAD take you
{The average American today has a choice of just going where "his feet take him'''' , or choosing wisely the course to follow. Let's skip ahead 10 years, and take a look at John Jones — and listen to him . . . )
"Qometimes I feel so good it ^ almost scares me.
"This house — I wouldn't swap a shingle off its roof for any other house on earth. This little valley, with the pond down in the hollow at the back, is the spot I like best in all the world.
"And they're mine. I own 'em. Nobody can take 'em away from me.
"I've got a little money coming in, regularly. Not much — but enough. And I tell you, when you
can go to bed every night with nothing on your mind except the fun you're going to have tomorrow— that's as near Heaven as man gets on this earth!
"It wasn't always so.
"Back in '46 — that was right after the war and sometimes the going wasn't too easy — I needed cash. Taxes were tough, and then Ellen got sick. Like almost everybody else, I was buying Bonds through the Payroll Plan — and I figured on cashing some of them in. But sick as she was, it was Ellen who talked me out of it.
'Don't do it, John!' she said. 'Please don't! For the first time in our lives, we're really saving money. It's wonderful to know that every single payday we have more money put aside! John, if
we can only keep up this saving, think what it can mean! Maybe someday you won't have to work. Maybe we can own a home. And oh, how good it would feel to know that we need never worry about money when we're old!'
"Well, even after she got better, I stayed away from the weekly poker game — quit dropping a little cash at the hot spots now and then — gave up some of the things a man feels he has a right to. We didn't have as much fun for a while but we paid our taxes and the doctor and — we didn't touch ihe Bonds.
"What's more, we kept right on putting our extra cash into U. S. Savings Bonds. And the pay-off is making the world a pretty swell place today!"
