duent sales reduced the invest
ment to about S6.375. 900, repre-
senting approximately $4,000
shares.
After a lapse Of IL years the
bank has become firmly estab-
lished. From a relatively small
bank organized under trying con-
ditions in 1888, the National Bank
Of Detroit now ranks thirteenth
among the country's banks on the
basis Of total deposits.
This exceptionally gratifying
result is today reflected in the
banks strong financial condition,
which is due in large part to the
very efficient staff OF executive
officers and organization of which
Walter S. McLucas, the banks
chairman, has been the head and
guiding spirit since the day the
bank opered. He has been very
fortunate in having the coopera-
ton Of a very representative and
capable Board OF Directors. The
result has been the creation OF sub
stantial good will with the public,
the Government, industry and
finance. Depositors and stock
holders have every reason to feel
assured OF the safety OF their in
terests. In this regard General
Motors feels particularly gratified
that a temporary emergency in
vestmentquite foreign toitsnormal
scope Of businesss has turned out
so well.
As was stated in the General
Motors Annual Report for 1888:
AT the time this plan was
evolved, it was distinctly
stated that the Corporation
had no desire to enter in any
way the banking situation in
the city of Detroit, or, as a
matter of fact, elsewhere.
The purpose of the Corpora
tion was then established 10
withdraw as soon as the situ-
alton became stabilized, per-
hitting it to transfer its tenn
porary investment to others
to carry on this particular re-
sponsibility and duty to the
community"
As the original investment
was made on the basis of il being
temporary one, General Mo-
tors believes that the time has
now come-with the emergency
long since over, and the institu-
ton solidly established-for
General Motors To retire from
the banking business. This deci-
sion is fortified by the fact that
the bank il further strengthen
ing its capital position by the sale
for tl0, 900, 900 Of $50, 900 shares

TOWNSEND PLAN
 LEGISLATION T0BE
 INTRODUCED SOON
| Legislative Bureau in Washington Prepares
 for 1945 Campaign

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Plans to introduce the 1945 Townsend Plan bill in Congress were laid this week by the Townsend legislative bureau here The measure, which calls for national insurance to all citizens 60 years of age and older financed by 3 per cent gross in- come tax. is expected to be present. ed within the next 10 days.
 Laying the groundwork for the 1945 campaign, Dr. Francis E. Townsend, founder and president of the organization, has ordered a corps of five veteran organizers to report to the capital immediately These men, four of whom are re- gional directors, represent 16 of the most populous midwest and eastern states. These states are represent ed by 230 Congressmen.
 The five men, along with the regular legislative staff here, will make personal calls on Congressmen urging them to support the Town send bill and to join the congress- ional steering committee which will handle the l945 legislation.
 Later, members of the Townsend National Council will arrive here to direct the entire campaign. Mem bers are. democratically elected rep resentatives of Townsend clubs from coast -to-ooass

 Taking these things into con- sideration, I think it is wonderful that one out of every three nurses in the nation has offered her ser vices to the Army or Navy.

Hasn't all that familiar up-to- date sound?
 A name in that column which tugs at memory's heartstrings with a particular appeal is that of i Marilyn Merritt The item con- mented upon "the it's like old times atmosphere" created that week when Marilyn spent her first full evening here in some time. We can't report today any recent repetition of history in that re- spect for she is in college in Oregon
 But we can, and do say that February. 1945, finds Marilyns mo- less-charming mother doing a fine bit of pinch hitting for her daugh- ter in our canteen every Wednes- day night. Already she has become one of the best liked of all the clubs volunteers.
 At first when we introduced this youthful looking friend to the fell lows as "Marilyn's mother" our reputation for veracity suffered such a setback that recently she has become simply Jess" to all of us And when that relative of hers returns from college we give her fair warning she will have to &C., custom herself to being known down here as ''one of the Merritt sisters"
 | As a matter of curiosity, we've examined the clubs State Registry to see who signed it just year ago. It reveals more than a few girls and men who first came to the USO last February and whose friendship has meant much to us ever since.
 Thus, recorded just l2 months ago is the signature of GSO Girl Jackie Schmitz. along with those of Signal Corpsmen Lucius HeuSser, of Minneapolis.
