"scme weeks ago. two veteran er1-

retired each with a record of about a
half centurys continuous service"
saws Munsey Magazine eGitorially:
"The Postmaster General, learning of
their cases, took steps to assure that
these two deserving old men should not
be cast, in their last days, upon the
doubtful charity OF the community, or
their relatives He arranged that
places should be provided to keep them
in security of living incomes.
Yet, more recently. a Chicago man
resigned after siXty-two years con-
tinu0us service in the postal depart
lrent, ana the resignation was accept

These cases illustrate tho grave need
of some provision for the Tcrc humane
treatment Of GovernmG mt servants who
grow old in the line Of duty. II these
men had worked for similar terms In
the employ of a railroad, great indus
trial corporation, or almost any foreign
government, they would have been auI
tomatically retired With substantial
PENSIONS for the remainder of theiI
