CLERK STILL "TOO BUSY” TO

TAKE A HOLIDAY.

Mr. George Farmor, aged 79, of Ashy-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, clerk to the Ashby Board of Guar- dians for fifty years, and аб sociated with the work of local government for sixty years, has not had a holiday during the whole of that period.

Asked whether he would not go to the seaside, this summer, Mr. Farmer replied that he was too busy to think about holidays. Next year he might-possibly break away from his very long custom of not having a vacation: I believe," he said, "In the gospel of real hard work 1 have only had one day off from my office in sixty years through illness, And that was because of a touch of influenza."
