rWELvE-YEAR RECORD OF RETURN

While the 3.649o return for 1912 was the best in
twelve years, it considerably under 5.5eee, the
average return for all Class railroads. And the
average Pere Marquette return during this whole
twelve-year period, 2.109o, must be compared with
2.44fo, the average return for all Class roads,
1t may be we'll to recall that during this twelve-year
period beginning with 1881, the last year in which
dividends were paid all classes of stock, the total
net income of the railroad s5,o69,262 During
these years, the total of all dividends paid to
all our stockholders was $5,06177S, which is almost
equal to the entire net income for the period
AT the end of this twelve-year period however, the
outstanding debt was almost as large as at the be-
ginning, the net reduction having been less than one
million dolars and in five of the twelve years the
interest charges debt not fully earned Def
cts have been met and improvements to the property
have been financed by short-term borrowings (since
repaid) and out of depreciation and retirement
charges to operating expenses. This situation has
unfavorably affected the Company's credit Even
today despite the improved earnings the First Mort
gage Bonds with high coupon rates selling in the
market at very substantial discounts. Unless the
financial strength and credit rating of the railroad
be substantially improved during the next twelve
years, the refundng payment of some forty mill
lion dollars of First Mortgage Bonds coming due in
1856 will present major problem
REDUCTION OF DEBT. In October 1912, when it be-
came evident that Pere Marquette earnings were on
the upswing as result of war traffic. the directors
initiated program of debt reduction to strengthen
the financial position of the road by purchasing its
First Mortgage Bonds at prevailing discounts By the
end of the year some two and one-quarter million
dollars of these bonds had been retired and in 1943,
additional purchases have been made
It is the present intention of the directors to pur.
sue this policy of debt reduction as additional funds
become available to the end that the Companys credit
will be strengthened the refnancing Of its bonds
undertaken, and dividend payments resumed in due
course.

cover a worn wooden blanket with

The Next Step

First turned down by the air corps,
then washed out as a pilot, Gazer
Buck switched W. to the naviga-
tors school.
He gave this third shot everything
he had. His club members at Shore
haven had lost track of the eager,
hustling, sWeaty and often dirty
faced kid Who had left them to help
his country.
Somewhat to their surprise, the
Gazer suddenly arrived in New York
from his training in Texas. But he
was no longer the scraggly little
caddie they had known.
He was nov Lieutenant Gordon
"Gazer" Buck, the chief navigator
of a four-motored bomber, on his
way to n of the major fronts.
The Gazer had on his new uni
form. He had the poise and cool
ness of a veteran. But he still had
the same grin. and in many ways
he was still the same young caddie
his club members had known from
a short while ago.
Not so many remembered that the
Gazer had discarded the eight-hour
day. the ten-hour DAY and the r.
hour day.
In the face of every discourage
ment that could be thrown into the
heart of a kid, he had given the air
force and his country a 16-hour day,
with no thought of pay, to play out
his part in winning the war.
He came out Of Texas as one Of
the best young navigators the air
force has yet known.
The Caddie Gazer of golf has now
turned into the stargazer of a big
bomber. And this has all happened
in less than two years. And Lieu
tenant Gordon "Gazer" Buck isn't the
only caddie you'll hear from later
on. For most of these caddies have
just about everything it takes, if
you give them a chance. They are
great kids. They were once the
Hagens. Sarazens, Ouimets, Chick
Evanses, Ben Hogans, Byron Mel

The Spice of Life

Some philosopher once said that
variety is the spice of life" This
new l943 baseball season will at
least be loaded with variety and
spice.
1t begins as an unknown quantity
and the unknown part will soon be-
come more and more pronounced.
We continue to get more and more
indignant letters asking why ath-
letes able to play baseball are not
strong enough, or healthy enough, to
serve in the armed forces, while SO
many clerks, elevator boys, boot
blacks and whatnots are passed
through.
This is a problem that belongs to
the draft boards. 1t is one of the
great many things about which we
know nothing. But there should be
no feeling Of any sort against the
ballplayers.
Their names. ages, their complete
records. are all in the hands or I'M
der the eyes Of the country's draft
boards. The b%allplayers I know,
many of them leading stars, are &C.
cepting the army and navy laws
laid down.
Most of them have families. Wives
and children. They are waiting to
be told where they are needed most.
They are willing to do their part
when they know what their part is.
So don't blame the ballplayers.
Send your explosive comments to
Washington and the draft boards.
And this will get you nowhere.

Gazer could follow the flight of the
most erratic blows that ever ca
reencd from wood or iron.
Then war and the shadow of wal
came along. So Gazer. who was
then in high school, decided to take
a shot at the air corps. He tried
and 1unked his examination. In
place of quitting he took a four
months workout with one of his
high-school teachers. He worked day
and night. After a long summers
effort he took the examination again
and this time he passed.
Gazer Buck wanted to be a pilot.
No n worked harder for the test
~ahead-but they washed him out.
Here was another heavy jolt-an-
other strong temptation to call it
off.
But Gazer Buck wasn't built that
way. Recalling the fact that he had
been able to follow the incredible in
accuracies Of his club members and
locate golf balls in places that even
wild life Stunned, he decided to take
q crack at navigation.
In other words, the Gazer decided
to be a stargazer where the celes-
tial rough and the high heavens Of
fered an even tougher job than golf
could produce.
