fiftieth anniversary celebration
yesterday at the Departmental
Auditorium was the address by
George M. Crosland, assistant
director of the Bureau of Trsffic,
in which he pointed out ICES
eminence in taking care of its own
workers.
: CroSland, who is incidentally the
senior employe at the Twelfth
Street agency, declared Interstate
to be one Of the foremost old-line
establishments in StreSSing the
opportunity for careers among
those who accept service within it,
saying:
"It has been the policy of the
Commission to encourage en-
plOyeS to remain in its service.
In other words, il seeks to make
employment in its service
career. 1t invariably fills vacan-
cies in higher positions with ex-
perienced employees in the lower
positions"
:, Crosland cited the case Of the
late George McGinty, who entered
,I.CC. in 1908 at a salary Of 81 1880
and rose to the SecretaryShip
before his death, among other
successful careers in proving his
point that Interstate rewards
steady service.
y, He also cited the numerous sue.
ceSSful activities which the I. c. c.
has in operation among its per-
sonnel, the volume Of which are
exceeded, probably, only in the
larger Agriculture and Treasury
Departments. Among them, Cros-
land pointed out, are the Relief
Association, which was started In
1898 with los charter members,
and the highly successful 1n-Com-
Co Club, under which operate
such useful subsidiaries as the
welfare section, male chorus

OF dances, tournaments, picnlcS
and athletics in general.
=. Lauding colleagues, he said:
II do not believe that any
organization, anywhere, has
more helpful, conscientious and
cooperative attitude than have
the employees of the commission.
It is our hope that the younger
members of our organization,
who will eventually succeed us,
will keep alive this spirit Of
helpfulness and cooperation"
