rier. 1 have spent mote than 31
years w -rking indoors, and I feel
that in order to preserve my
health as much as possible. I am
doing my physical condition a
great fa -or by going on the rural
route where I can enjoy clean,
tresh air, and at'the same time
can be relieved from the constant
pressure and respon-'bility that
I was subjected to heretofore. In
this way I can still remain an
employee of the Post Office De-
Charles E. partmen: and can be of service
