until his health made it necessary
that he seek a lower altitude. when
he was transferred to the nome office
Of our parent organization 1.-THE New
Jersey Zinc Company in New York
city.
Mr. Joel's duties while here in Canon
City brought him into almost constant
contact with me. and thus had an
excellent opportunity to observe very
closely both his work All mis- personal
habits. This close association showed
that he was not only bright mentally
and competent in his line of work. bu;
also that he was clean physically and

was honest and possessed many ad-
