INFLATION
RapiiHy rising prices caiiuut fail to bring on a d«pressioi>, complete with
wage cuts, unemployment, farm foreclosures, and business failures.
Hardest hit of all are the more than 20,000,000 persons with fixed
incomes: the white collar wt>rkers, civil service workers, old ft^k with
savings, veterans with pensions, etc. A ruinous depression certainly isnU
the sort of post-war wot'kl we want for ourselves or our kids. We're looking forward to a safe, sound, stable America for all of us.
Kememb<>r this: Yt>ii fight inflation every time you DON'T buy an^^thing
you can do without . . . you help to insure a sound, stable America when
you put your money away in savings, and savings bonds.

State Policy Unsound
O n Y e t Vacations
T ^ H E LEGISLATURE wisely sought to give veterans in
the civil service every advantage or privilege they
would ordinarily have acquired except for their absence
in military service. They have been properly given the
right to salary increments accorded to those who were
able to remain in the civil service; promotion rights were
reser.yed and their pensions protected.
ft is difficult to understand, therefore, the attitude
of the State Civil Service Department in advising the State
officials that returning veterans are not to be granted
vacation leave unless they have served the full time in
their civil service positions as required of all other civil
service employees. The Commission seems to rely on an
opinion of the Attorney-General which the Commission
construes as precluding department heads from granting
full annual vacation leave to veterans.
As we understand the opinion of the Attorney-General, his ruling only precluded accrued vacation periods
accumulated during the war period; that is, a veteran
could not accumulate all the vacation leave time during
his absence in military service and seek to have an extended vacation period now. Surely the Attorney-General
did not intend that veterans should be penalized and deprived of vacation leave this summer because of their
absence in military service part of the time.
We agree with the views expressed by H. Eliot
Kaplan, Executive Secretary of the Civil Service Reform
Association, that the State could afford a more generous
policy toward vacations for veterans than the rigid, technical interpretation made by the State Civil Service Department of the Attorney-General's opinion.
To the credit of the O'Dwyer administration, veterans in the NYC service, similarly situated, are to be accorded regular summer vacations on the sound premise
that their service in time of war is essentially government
service and that they should not be deprived of vacation
privileges accorded to other civil service employees.
The State administration should revise its policy as a
matter of plain justice, to give veterans in the civil service
vacation opportunities they deserve.

What It Takes
To Rise from Lowest to Highest

Commissioner of Sanitation, NYC
I AM the second member of the uniformed force to
be Commissioner of the Department of Sanitation. The
other member of the uniformed force similarly honored
was the late Alfred A. Taylor.
I have found through my
years of service in the Department that there is no
royal road to success. The
way is hard and steep and
many obstacles lie along the
path tempting one to follow
some detour sign that promises greater ease.

New examinations should lie held early in 1947 or shortly thereafter.
Immediate preparation is highly advisable. New classes starting.
FREE MEDICAL EXAMINATION—We invite anyone who is interested to call any weekday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (except Tuesday
evening) for a free medical examination by our physicians *n
order to determine whether he meets the medical requirements
or whether he suffers from some minor defects that may be easily
remedied.
FEE—^The fee for the Patrolman or Fireman course
is $23 for 3 months' training, including lectures and
physical classes. This fee may be paid in installments.
• VETERANS—We are approved by both the N. Y. State
Dept. of E(hication and the Veterans Administration and
our training is available under the CI Bill. However,
we discourage any veteran (particularly those who are
entitled to two, three or four years of education) to use
these rights for a short inexpensive course. The regulations specify that having concluded one course, no matter
how short, the veteran is not entitled to any future
educational benefits.
