Christmas Renews
The Inspired Vista
SPIRIT is reborn each Christmas-tide. The goal for
nearly 20 centuries has been to make this spirit thrive
A
throughout the year. Such an achievement would be a millenium itself. Yet nobody, once under the blessed touch of
the mystery, could say with conviction that the goal is
impossible.
This is a season when charity comes naturally, w h e n
joy is shared by adult and child alike on childhood's terms;
when good-fellowship prompts the fairest dealings, is even
marked by generosity; w h e n satisfaction measures the
transport to moral and religious fervor, and w h e n peace
on earth is meditated in a reversed light' upon all hearths,
present in thought, though perhaps distant in time.
The world, when it stands breathlessly thrilled at this
Christmas mystery, moves farthest and fastest toward its
promised goal, to which all must not only aspire but to
which they must effectively contribute. Not by sacrificing
our deepest convictions and highest principles, but by bringthe minds of the world to meet on the highest plane do we
progress toward the ultimate salvation of a disti'essed woi ld.
The season of the year is a challenge to morality to
make its influence wider and undiluted and to the indivioual
to mend ways that may be found wanting. It is the season
of inspiration and revelation, the season that bids us to
attain the steadfast possibilities of a better life.
Incentive Plan Sets
Example for NYC
UGGESTIONS from Board of Transportation employees
for improvement of the subway system will be rewarded,
if found meritorious, by a Central Committee of the Board,
with Certificates of Merit and cash awai'ds of from .$5 to
$1,500. This is a splendid forward step taken by an agency
that is not technically a city department. The policy is in
line with incentive programs used in the Federal government, particularly by the Navy Department, and athorized
by the State for the near future through its newly-created
Merit Award Board.
NYC should have such a Board, functioning citywide.
Experience has shown that improvements and savings more
than compensate for the cost.

nominating for re-election any
k officer or slate of officers and
' never re-electing any regional
group, such as any slate might be
expected to represent. Mr. Rafter,
a NYC man, was the 1946 President,
The convention felt that the
Incumbents had done such excellent work that no good purpose
would be served by adhering to
- tradition.
Also re-elected were Bernard L.
Carmody, Vice-president;
Mrs.
Doris Swetman, Secretary, and
Melvin Stallman, Treasurer.
The Association adopted resolutions looking toward the betterment of the position and status of
( the veteran in New York State.
7 Chief among these was a recommended amendment to the State
Civil Sei-vice Law which would
permit the retirement of war veterans attaining 60 years of age
after twenty years in civil service.
The proposal contemplates retirement at half pay based or the
salary average for the highest five
years of compensation. This contrusts sharply witlx present pro-
cedures, which in most cases require a minimum of thirty years
in civil service before retirement
eligibility can be established.
Another resolution adopted proposes amendment of the Veterans'
Assistance Section of the S-.ate
Social Welfare Law, to eliminate
some outdated provisions in the
law.

A I D TO VETS O N PENSIONS SOUGHT I N NYC DRIVE
w i t h the completion of arguments for substantial Increases in
pay, employee organizations in
NYC have turned their attention
to getting the city to pay the contributions of veterans toward the
retirement systems for the period
that they were in the armed
forces. Now the veterans have to
make up the back payments, and
complete them within five years,
which the unions refer to as
"double payment," because of the
added burden on the pay check.
The Transport Workers Union
(CIO) said that there are 1,200
ex-OI subway workers as It
launched an all-out campaign to
win city government payment of
full pension for Board of Transportation veterans.
"At present, veterans are obliged, if they wish to maintain
their full pension rights, to pay a
double pension payment to make
up for the period of military service when no pension paymrnts
were made," said the TWU. "It Is
estimated that about 6,000 subway
employees and $3,000,000 in back
pension payments are involved."
Hogan Looks to O'Dwyer
Austin Hogan, President of
Local 100, formerly with the Aimy
Engineers, declared:
"The TWU expects that Mayor
O'Dwyer and the Board of Estimate will recognize the valiant
service rendered to our country
during the war by transit veterans, by rectifying the injustice
of requiring ex-servicemen to pay
double pensions for years after
their discharge."
Mr. Hogan mged that transit
veterans be relieved of this flrancial burden by legislation which
would provide for the City and
State governments to make up the
accumulated pension payments
for city employees who served in
the armed forces during the war.
He further asked that Mayor
O'Dwyer memorialize Governor
Dewey, who has agreed to Slate-
financed pension payments fof
State employees, to propose legislation to Include NYC and Bonrd
of Transportation employees.
Among the organizations behind the campaign are the Col.
Slattery Post of the American
Legion, posts of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Disabled American
Veterans, the American Veterans
Committee, the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association and the Uniformed Firemen's Association, said
the TWU.
