THE PENSION AGE
Sir. —Re the letter of 'Must a Worker" on the above subject. _ To mo the letter seems to be one of individual selfishness. He apparently forgets the man of 20 or 30 years who is married and has a family to keep lias to contribute for 30 or 40 years to maintain him and others in ease and comfort while he lias to pay in contributions and taxation, while rearing a family and educating them. "Just a Worker" seems to think he has contributed largely to the welfare of the eountrv, but 1 wonder how many like myself have worked as long as lie. shouldered heavier responsibilities, and still continue at G8 years to be revenue makers for the country. Responsibility.
