SHELL OIL PLANS
WORKER PENSION
27,500 to Benefit by New
Programme Per Cent Paw
Is Aim for Each.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. e.-R. G. A. van
der Woude. president Of Shell Union
Oil Corp. today announced the adop-
tion Of retirement pension plan.
provisions Of which will extend to all
Of the 27,5oo Shell employees in the
United States and Canada. The plan.
which is designed to round out broad
program Of social benefits already in
force, will date back to January !,
1898.
The form of the plan was deter
mined after 4 careful study of factors
involved in providing old-age security
and differs in several respects from
other pension plans already in force.
The Shell pensions will be provided by
the companies without contribution By
employees. Normal retirement ages
are defined as so years for men and 55
for women, but retirement at these
ages will not be compulsory.
10 Per Cent Of Wage Is Goal.
The plan has as its object the pro-
vision Of a pension equal to 40 per
cent Of the employees average annual
wages or salary during the five years
Immediately preceding retirement.
For the members of Shells provjdent
fund, however. the annual pension will
be reduced by an amount equal to 4
per cent OF the sum standing on the
company side of the members account
in the fund at retirement. If an en-
ploye receives a social security pen
sion, the Shell pension will be ad-
justed accordingly.
All employees who complete 20 or
more years OF service and reach normal
retirement age while in service are
eligible to retire with full pension. y
Employees who reach normal retire.
ment age before completing 20 years
but not less than Is years service
will receive proportionate pensions, as,
for example, IS per cent Of full pen
sion for IS years service, 80 per cent
for is years and so on.
Early Pensions Provided.
At Shells discretion. early pensions
may be provided due to i'll health, un-
suitability for the job by reason OF
age or any other reason acceptable to
Shell. These early pensions may be-
come available after age so to en-
ployes who have completed 20 years
service. At age so the early pensions
would equal 62l2 per cent of full pen
sion. with increasing percentages up
to 100 per cent at age so.
Pensions may also be granted by
Shell at earlier than age so in cases
Of total and permanent disability after
20 years service. Such disability pen
sions will be 62l2 per cent of full pen
sion.
No pensions will exceed $4,000 per
annum.
Each employe who is not provident
fund member will have the privilege of
naming his wife or other acceptable
dependent to receive modified pen
sion when death occurs after retire.

After the cadets march on the field

give the same gracious gesture after

an unwritten rule that the losing

sponsible for Army's continued su-
premacy was the influx of former
college stars to West Point and the
fact that the maximum age of ad-
mission to the Military Academy
was two years higher than at the
Naval Academy. Playing Tor Army
in those days. for instance, were
Charley DAILY, former Harvard cap
tain, and Torney. who had been an
all-America fullback at Cornell.
Before the 1904 game a rule was
adopted whereby the playing of
those who had performed at other
colleges was restricted. While the
agreement was inadequate, it never
theless tended to eqValize material
at the service schools.
Navy prospered under the agree
ment, tying. 6-6, in 1905; winning
100, in 1906 and again in 1907. 60.
The term of the first eligibility
agreement expired with that last

Davidson moved on to foreign duty
with three wins in five games against
Navy.
Meantime more former college
stars had wedged into Army's line
up and that became an item of in
tense interest in official naval circles.
Clinging to its own eligibility rules,
Navy insisted Army abide by the
same regulations, but when Army
yielded only to the extent of adopt
ing the rule prohibiting freshmen
from playing, relations were severed
and there were no games in 1928 and
1929.
The game was re-established in
1880 and Army gleefully celebrated
by winning four straight games.
Last year Army adopted a policy
of forbidding former college athletes
to play and the measure doubtless
will serve to keep the teams on an
equal plane.

From this point the tour of
Greenhills was continued by motor,
with Mr.. Sharpe acting as sight
seeing guide from behind the steer
ing wheel of a community owned
station wagon. He drove northward
up Winton road into the farming
section of Greenhills, an area that
makes the Ohio community stand
out among the projects sponsored so
far by the Farm Security Admins
tration.
There are 80 farms averaging
about 125 acres each for full-time
operation, five other farms averag-
ing 80 acres each for part time farm
ing and other employment and the
remainder, 20 units, kith house
and an acre or two of land each.
I'VE have made use of every farm
house already on the property and
already have constructed several
new ones," Mr.. Sharpe explained.
I'VE are reforesting the farms with
100000 black locust trees, which are
being placed at spots where the soil
is suffering from erosion"
For many years the Federal Gov
ernment has been preaching diver
sification to the Nations farmers,
and in Greenhills diversification Is
vigorously enforced.
1--WE are working out with each
farm tenant a crop program de-
signed to meet his wishes as much
as possible" declared the commu-
nifty manager, "but we will not allow
wheat to be planted for two sue
cessive years because 1t depletes the
soil. A program of soil improve
ment and general repair Of buildings
also is under way. Rental of the
farms Is based on the income de-
rived from the soil in each individ-
ual unit"
Greenhills farmers are guaranteed
security OF tenure by five-year leases.
The Governments chief objective in
the countryside Is to derive enough
income to carry its investment. I'VE
are fast approaching that point" "
continued Mr.. Sharpe.

Blend of City and Country Life Achieved
on Tract Near Cincinnati Where
Cooperation Is Adopted

Services, the Ohio cooperative,
leases its stores to responsible own
ers and also purchases coal on a
cooperative basis for scores of
homes in the community.
The Greenhills farms will play
prominent part later on in the
cooperative picture, because Com
munity Manager C. F. Sharpe an
ticipates the processing of their
products by private concerns, be-
ginning next year, for resale to citi-
Zens of urban Greenhills at cooper
ative prices, as we'll as eventual
establishment of farmers market
in the community.
Another difference between the
Ohio and Maryland low-cost hous-
ing developments is the construc-
ton of Greenhills group units, which
give their dwellers the benefits of
three exposures. This is accom-
plished with the setback" style of
building, which gives stair-step
touch to the front of row houses
in Greenhills.
These and other comparisons be-
tween Greenbelt and Greenhills
were made by Mr.. Sharpe, who
concluded that "Greenbelt has
larger trees, but outside of that we
don't concede it thing"
The motorist approaches Green
hills from the south through a
heavily-wooded area, part of which
has been incorporated into 486
beautiful acres of protective park
area. Children. on their way home
from school, often follow the wood
land paths from fine model school
building in the center of the COM
munity, rather than the paved side
walks and macadam streets that
twist and wind through Greenhills
in a clover-leaf pattern.
The first urban touch to Green
hills came when we drove up wind
ing Winton road and were con-
fronted with traffic light and a
uniformed policeman who was di-
recting school children across the
road with the assistance of uni
formed schoolboy patrolmen.
Facing Winton road and q block
of new parkway in between, is
Greenhills' $5O0,OOO school building,
as complete as the most modern
school of a great city. Not only
all of Greenhills' school children
go to school here, but also the chill
dren of farmers and commuters in
the nearby area, because the Green
hills institution represents a con-
solidation of five Hamilton County
school districts.
The school is owned and operated
by the Farm Security Administra-
ton, but is leased for school pur-
poses to the Hamilton County School
Board, to which the community now
makes annual payments in lieu OF

There is diversity of room arrange
ment and exterior design. All houses
have hardwood floors, copper plumb
ing, modern kitchens and baths and
large closet space. They are thor
oughly insulated and the group
dwellings have soundproof walls.
Occupancy of the homes in the
rolling hill country is generally re-
stricted to families within the in
come range of $1,000 to $4,000 per
year. In special cases. individuals
with incomes of less than $1,000 OF
families with incomes ranging up

children, may be accepted for ten

More than two years were required
to build Greenhills, and when the
town on June / was thrown open
to tenants, ,.548 houses out of 676 had
been assigned. The present popu-
lation is about 1900, with new ten
ants gradually swelling the total.
There were SGT votes cast in a re-
cent election to name seven urban
and two rural members of the COM
munity council which, collaborating
with Farm Security officials, will
govern Greenhills until it becomes
an incorporated town. Twenty-one
candidates came out for the council
and made campaign speeches before
the electorate at community meet
ing on September %.
In a recent referendum the COM
munity voted against the operation
of q tavern In Greenhills, but in
favor of the sale of beer in pony
kegs and bottles at the community
drugstore. The referendum, how
ever, is not binding and all sides
of the question will be studied be-
fore final decision is made.
According to Mr.. Sharpe, the town
will achieve its full population next
spring and early summer.
The Community Council, which
now governs Greenhills, has con-
fined it's activities thus far to traffic,
fire and police and sanitation and
health regulations and incorporation
activities, promoting community life
in general and assisting manage
ment officials in the determination
of administrative policies. It now
serves as the official planning group
for community activities. for the in
itiation of new activities. and COR
relates the activities and programs
of the urban and rural residents OF
Greenhills. Members of the coun-
Gil are elected from the community
at large.

own law enforcement arm.

the community is operating its store

Thus far. 242 Greenhills citizens
have applied for membership IN
Greenhills consumers services. Ef-
forts are now being made to bring
all membership payments up to date,
in order to eliminate the need for
borrowing outside capital and neces-
stating interest charges, which re-
duce possible patronage dividends.
Mr.. Sharpe paused under the
shelter of the store porch to discuss
some of the general aspects of
Greenbelt. He has been community
manager of Greenhills since Febru-
ary, 1896, when he resigned posi-
ton as consultant with the United
States Conference of Mayors in
Washington. Previously, he was
assistant city manager of Cincinnati
under Col. Clarence o. Sheriff., now
in his second tenure as chief city
administrator, and Clarence c. Dyk-
stra, former manager, who is now
president of the University OF Gin
cinnati. Also, Mr.. Sharpe has served
as city manager of st. Petersburg,
Fla.
From the food store. Mr.. Sharpe
led us along the administration
building on Greenhills' main street
and pointed to the office of the COM
munity's Credit Union, which now
has 225 members. paid-in stock OF
$4,000 and more than 20 loans now
outstanding to its citizens. The
Credit Union meets every Monday
evening in room in the business
block, and residents find it a con-
venient place for the investment OF
their savings. The interest rate is G
per cent, and stockholders will be
rebated profits in the form of pa
tronage dividends.
Pointing to an empty lot at the
foot of a hill below the administra-
ton building, Mr.. Sharpe said:

Just across the street on one side
of the school is a large swimming
pool serving the entire Greenhills
community. It had just been closed
for the winter and was empty for
the first time in months. Families
in the community get a special rate
of IS season for the entire family
while outsiders using the pool pay
the prevailing city rate. There are
regular guest days." when Green
hills citizens may bring their friends
to the pool without charge.
At the main corner of Greenhills,
with the school building in the back
ground, stands the administration
building, which houses community
offices, the fire and police depart
ments, the Offices of a doctor and
dentist, the post Office, a general
grocery and supply store, the Green
hills Credit Union, valet shop and
quarters for a barber shop, drug
store and soda shop and a beauty
shop, which have not yet been
opened.
The store is operated by Green
hills Consumer Services and is man
aged by Fred Jarvis, who came re-
Gently from Greenbelt, where he
worked as an observer in all of the
cooperative stores. In the short
space of three months Mr.. Jarvis
has become very fond of Greenhills,
and is as interested as any private
citizen in its progress and develop
ment. In Greenbelt, he said, the
citizens are getting ready to take
over from the New York organiza-
ton their co-operatives for opera
ton on the same basis as in Green
hills.
Each citizen who buys through the
consumer services pays a member
ship fee of $40, which is used for
operating capital, with later profits
to be returned in the form of patron
age dividends based on the members
annual patronage of the consumer
services. A member leaving the
community has the right to with
draw the SO fee. The membership
fee could be increased II the COM
munity needs additional capital for
