Forty years service with New Zealand Railways ended this Week for Mr Jock Day, aged 57, of Hope Street, Shirley, who has retired as foreman in the Christchurch goods yard. Mr Day has been affected by the term of the Railway Department’s compulsory retirement scheme, under which employees completing 40 years service must retire. Starting his career as a porter in Greymouth in 1940, Mr Day transferred to Christchurch in 1946, after war service, and was appointed yard foreman about five years ago.
