TOO OLD AY FIFTY?
(To the Editor.)
' Sir,—l have to thank you for publishing the letter by your corresponddent signed "Fifty." I, too, am one of the many ; who are apparently, too old at fifty or .thereabouts. I have worked hard, and had six or seven years ago sufficient to keep me, if not in luxury at least: from want. Like many hundreds of others. I got caught out and now in spite of the fact that I have excellent testimonials and am active and youthful-looking,' I can find nothing to do. Even the beneficent Government now in power won't employ me. Although Mr. Armstrong wishes us to live like millionaires all he offers me and my wife is twentynine shilling's a week dole. Can we pay rent and live on that?—l am, etc., ■"■■•■ FIFTY-TWO.
