RETIRING AGE
“Making Way For Others’’
"The Press" Special Service AUCKLAND, February 9. Men in senior positions should retire when they reached retiring age, even if they felt they still could give years of useful service, Mr R. H. Barker, retiring treasurer of the Auckland Education Board, said at a farewell function. “The positions of honour and glory should be fairly distributed,” he said.
“When I got to the position where I could retire I felt that the honour and glory should be passed on to someone else. “All of us when we reach a stage when we can retire should do so and make way for the promotion of others who are below us.
‘‘That is one reason why I got out seven or eight years before I should —and now I am really going to enjoy myself, because I am still young enough to.”
