The 1949 A World War I veteran, old Charles G. Christiansen, has a sick leave record of which he can well be proud, according to Lowell Sandberg of the Civilian Guard Section. He reports that Christiansen, also of the Civilian Guard force, has been employed by the 53-ye- ar government for seven years and three months and has used only one day of sick leave in that entire period of time.
