duty to help support his parents,
and at that time his father was
able to work and did not need
the support Of his son, yet when
pay day came George went to
town and bought such things
that helpzd to sustain Life as il
tie entire support of the family
depended upon him Since then
he has he'd positions that paid
him big salary. but he never
forgot his father and mother and
never failed 10 send them money
when pay day came around. Be-
fore he left for France he took
out SO, 900 90 in insurance, and
made an al!Otu ent for his parents,
and they receive nice little pen
sion every month and will SO
long as George is a soldier. The
last time George was at home his
father as sed him why he did not
marry and settle down where he
could better enjov life. His re
ply was that | must look after
you and mother and should |
