Of course youth i9 the great time for happiness
but old age has its compensations too provided
age represents the declining years of a well-spent

But to be happy in old age there must be a
good competence secured during the productive
years of life We all must grow old There is no
avoiding it but there is a way of avoiding a penni-
less poverty-stricken old age That’s why we urge
people to start a savings account which will be
friend in need as for travel along and a great com-
forter during your dealing years t
