For the year 1927-28 the average absence on account of sickness among I employees of the Post and Telegra- ] ph Department was for men 4.33 days , and for women 10.02 days. For the ■ year 1928-29 the figures were 4.01 ■ and 9.5 respectively. Discussing the, matter in his annual report the Post-master-General says: “Where it is necessary, as it is in the Post and Telegraph Department, to provide , continuous service over the whole j twenty-four hours of the day, it is j obvious that the maintaining of the staff in good health is of paramount ■ importance. Therefore, while no ef- . fort is spared' in preparing officers ! for the efficient performance of their j duties, the need for conserving the ; health of the staff is not overlooked. 1 Moreover, the Department believes j that, by adhering to its policy of 1 seizing every practical! 'opportunity j for improving the conditions of workj ing it is not only acting in the inj terests of the members of the. staff, i but is also giving increased opnor--1 tunity for the rendering of effici ient service to that ereat niiblic with j,which it is so intimately concern1. eel. )'
