Show M ill RS. GREEDY prides herself on being cagey, a little smarter than her neighbors. No one ever accused her of being a sucker. For years she's been stopping stop-ping all requests for civic support with one-stock question: "What's in it for me?" Mrs. Greedy doesn't like charity. She says it ought to begin at home and stay there! She doesn't go in for local enterprises. She can take care of herself let the community commun-ity take care of itself. She pays taxes, doesn't she? Even the war couldn't change Mrs. Greedy. After Pearl Harbor, when the other ladies of the community were rushing to serve on the Red Cross rolling bandages, knitting, taking first aid courses Mrs. Greedy was rushing to buy two hundred pounds of sugar. She still has most of it hidden in her attic. She's got six spare tires salted away, too. And you can bet your boots she didn't throw her bath mats and soap dishes into any rubber scrap pile. Mrs. Greedy doesn't like rationing either. The idea of sharing scarce commodities with her neighbors is "sucker stuff," she says. Her answer is the same as her answer to everything else: "What's in it for me?" Some of the ladies in her neighborhood could tell Mrs. Greedy what's in it for her, of course. They could tell her that in helping America win this war, she was defending her own home. They could tell her that by sharing goods that are scarce, she would be helping to spread the necessary sacrifices evenly, so that no one suffers more than the next fellow. They could tell her that by helping America win victory as quickly as possible, she would be keeping down the tax load she will have to pay. They could tell her that this is her war a war in which her future and security are at stake. But no one will ever tell her these things. No one ever speaks to Mrs. Greedy! m ,i 1 We are happy to state that we have found no Mrs. Greedys in this vipy i (1 I H f community.
