FAMLLY BUDGETS i IN OT SO VERY LONG AGO you . were looked upon as X11 somehow queer if you ran your personal or family - money affairs on a !budget, 'accordi'n'g to tihe December Monthly Letter of the Royal Bank of Canada. Nowadays, people know how pleasant it its to come out even at the week end or year end. t Diehards, who profess to look down their noses at budgeteers, are really envious — envious not only of the peace of mind budgets bring, but of the added pleasures db`bainalble in life through making wishes come true by planning in advance the 'purchase of longed -for articles. A family (budget is a plan for awaking your income do the most possible to snake you and your fahnily happy. It is not a list of "Thou ashalt nous", but a guide for bitter hiving, 'a device to get you things you'waait. I•t doesn't mean yen 'have to stay home from the movies because the price Of the ticket would upset your !petty 'cash. In fact, good budgeting says lilt is ail right to be wlddiy extravagant on occasion --so long as you know you are doing it and are getting value for your money and for the discomfort your budget tells you will follow. The period at which salary or wages are received has an influence on budgeting. If you are paid weekly, ob- vabussly it is easier to control purchases than if you are paid on a semi-monthy or monthly basis. In the 'latter case, you are likely to spend liberally early in aIle month and then have to eeonoinize toward the end. If you budget, you are much less likely to find yoursef repining your inability to get the hat, perm'anejnt wave, pipe or best seller you so desperately want about the 20th. Money lis only fulfilling its purpose when dt supplies something we need or want. Some is earmarked at onee for the necessities, some goes into the bank Us be saved .for (future want.( some into insuranee "as a form of investment. Itis not the amount that counts so greatly, but ingenuity in making it do what we want. Ac- cording to the census of 1941 there were 1,150,000 heads of households in Canada receiving less than $3,000 a year an salaries 'and wages, and only 50,000 receiving More, yet everyone knows that many more persons than 50,000 live well, enjoy pleasures and have peace of mind. It ie impossible for anyone to 'advise you ant detail the budgeting path to take. What gives the greatest satis- faction to one person or liamdly would not appeal at all to another. Needs are different. The success of any budget will depend on the co—operation of everyone affected by it. 0 0 EASE UP IN THE FREEZE-UP T HESE ARE dangerous days for drivers. Roads made slippery' by snow iaeid sleet, less vi's'ibility, eax''iy dark- ness, large 'shopping crowds -all add up 'to the need for more attentiveness by drivers. A simple skid, minor hazard in clear dry weather, milght end in a fatal accident when streets are wet and crowded. Driving conditions on the open highways also become more hazardous. Emergency stopping distances in- crease on slippery road's, fair waning that reduced speeds are needed to offset this condition. Vision obscured by snow, fog or sleet calls for motorists to proceed Cautiously. Wise drivers give special attention 'these days to the safety factors of their vehicles. Good 'brakes are a 'must' with theme, as are comet headlights, smooth work- ing windshield wipers and properly adjusted steering gear. Safety -minded motorist's keep' a cloth handy for clearing their windshields, side and rear windows. 'Codd, welt weatheralso requires' the motorist to keep a wary eye on the other fellow. The good driver will bear in mind that others may not have given the same attention to their brake's; windshield, lights, etc., and that he must be prepared to actt quickly to avoid nlishap arising from their 'negligence.
