President Carr

OH 3 r cs! There, are others, besides Coolidge. Now John T. Carr, of 1 Wellington, is more th.in president of the P. and T. employees' association and a long-service officer of his department. He is at once the envy of the small boy at a cricket, or football matcn and of sonny's father at a prize-fight or horse-race. For Jack looms many inches m his hose, The honorary' presidency of a big organization secures the holder more digs than dimes. The disgruntled members think the president should be able to gather m more eggs from the. goose that lays the golden variety while Mother Goose makes it quite clear that she is apt to go on strike. But Carr takes, it all m his long stride; coolly I and imperturbable. Before coming- to Wellington he juggled with many a mail-bag m Dunedin and has since held down' several executive jobs for the department that gets so many things done for the largest clientele m the country. If he chose, no one could question his right to hoist a shingle bearing 1 the accountancy tag after his name. J.T.C. can speak fluently and feelingly upon the clinging qualities of Flanders mud for he wore out more than one out-size m tunics while serving with- the postal corps. But he can also speak with authority upon a variety of other topics for he has drunk deep at the well of erudition and philosophy.
