$4,000 co-workers new birth OF
of JOY born of the certain realization
that we are working with each other
in great service Of mankind.
The president of the United States
in his great inaugural address express
sed the sentiment which | would make
the platform of the postoffice depart
ment. He said. Service is the SUI
preme commitment of life. l would
rejoice to proclaim the era of the
golden rule and crown it with the

1t is my earnest purpose to make
that statement from that great man
on that great occasion the platform of
this department. He did not mean
service to self, Men do not refer to
service in that spirit when they mean
self service. He meant service as in
