More Pension Plans

More business organizations
established pension or profit
sharing plans for officers and
employees i'm 1914 than in any
previous year; hardly a week
passes without public announce
ment of additional organixa-
tions taking similar action.
They have ascertained that these
benefits are increasingly appreci-
ated, since taxation is n matter Of
gravest concern to the average in
dividual striving to create adequate
provision for her or his retirement.
This appreciation IL trans
lated into increased efficiency,
and such advantages hold and
attract an unusually high and
alert caliber Of employees.
We have assisted In the develop
ment Of many such plans, each tall
ored to meet specific conditions,
for large and small corporations
and partnerships, and will be glad
to assist you.

me- my education"
George is one OF the happiest
little boys l know.
His worship for the soldiers he
lives with is heart touching, his
military training is perfect and he
feels the greatest honor in the
world has been bestowed upon him
because he is allowed TO live In
the barracks with all OF his divi-
sion and be one Of the boys.
PROUD OF PAY
He told me with great pride
that the officers give him his
army pay
This little hunk of man is more
or less an orphan. His mother was
killed by the Germans and his
father is a prisoner of war in
Germany.
He speaks six languages-Ara-
bic, Spanish, Italian, German,
Dutch and English.
He was born in San Diego, Cal,
and he is vague on how he came
10 be living in CaSablanca.
George wears the wings Of a
regular paratrooper
He earned them the hard way.
He has made five jumps which
gives him the privilege of wear
ing wings.
HIS FIRST LEAP
This child with sparkling black
eyes said 10 me
II was really scared the first
time l was To jump. but the
first sergeant was very good TO
me and helped me jump"
Now George is no longer afraid
10 jump. II is just routine to him
and he does not need any help.
His buddy, Sgt Beard. tells me
ut Is like a shot in the arm
To all new recruits TO see the
kid jump. When they see that
they do not dare 10 show that
they are scared"
Georges army duties are those
of an orderly at the officers mess.
One time he was a sergeant but
he got busted because he used a
naughty word.
LoST HIS STRIPES
THAT was very bad" George
recollects dramatically, "the
captain tore the stripes off my

sleeves. but I'll win them back"
he added confidently.
what are the things you like
most, George 2" asked.
His big black eyes became
thoughtful and then he said:
"Well--I like being q para
trooper. but next TO that I like
beef chow. That In good food
and I like Jazz music--but what
i want to do most I'm the world
is to 20 up To the front lines
with my division and when the
war is over I want 10 60 back 10
America with my OUTFIT"
This little bit of human being is
a mixture Of child and adult.
He is one child orphaned by
this dreadful war who Ia lucky.
because I am sure these Ameri-
can boys with whom he has been
living for "a months will be sure
that he will have a home after II
is all over.
HIS UNDYING LOVE
Every man In the S2nd DiN-
sion Is crazy about George and
he loves them all with an undying
love and loyalty.
The way in which this 14-yesr-
old child is being brought up
points out how good. clean and
wonderful our American boys are
because they are not only teach
ing George how 10 be little man
but permitting him to stay a Child
as long as he can and attain a
really good education, with clean
thinking and lots Of good health
thrown In.
I hope he gets back 10 the
States and grows up there for
l know he will be a good Ameri-
can.

Bob Mann leaves y. of NJ for
navy. NJ may have another Derri-
cote"
Thus two University Of Michigan
athletes made the headlines. Having
witnessed both boys in action, the
Michigan Chronicle looks at the
men behind the news.
BACK IN Is4l. two high school
footbsllers were literally setting
the gridirons afisme in their home
states. Robert Mann was rated as
one Of the fastest and most versatile

the 1912 and l943 seasons he helped
the Hampton Institute Pirates OF
Virginia 10 a top spot in the ClAA
football race. He matriculated at
Michigan at the end OF the l943
school year.
With the beginning OF the 1914
season Mann was slated 10 hold
down a regular wing position on
the University OF Michigan eleven.
Then the injury bugaboo set in and
he was never out OF the inhrmary
long enough TO win letter He did
become an m" man during the
recent track season, however, as
quarter miller on the team.

of by Leon 1.-The Man" Elan For
three years he was the main threat
of his team. William Bell then
coach OF the Florida A. & NJ college
Rattlers, will never be able 10
explain just how Elan escaped
the State college dragnet, but es-
cape he did, and l94l found him

for 4 touchdown, and longest run
for a score after receiving . pass.
AFTER GETTING an honorable
d charge from the services, Elam
moved on To the University of
Michigan With the beginning Of
fall practice his tricky, weaving
type Of running impressed coaches
and sports writes alike. He was
soon being tried out for the spot
occupied so we'll last season by
Eugene Derricotte. the Arst Negro
