Please Omit Gold Watch Boyle's Worrying About His Reaction to Farewell Gift 26 Years From Now By H.IT, BOYLE New York, May 19 (A') Big worries rarely make you happy. the little day -to-day worries that really make life A pleasure. And one of the things I fret about most often lg Just what I'll do if my fellow employees give me gold walch when I retire from work-26 1'8 from now. At Age 63 This problem usually comes Into my mind every morning when the alarmi clock goes off. Here is my daydream: have reached the age of 65, and the boys office are throwing me farewell party.

Everybody has said lot of nice things and over the corner one of the younger fellows is remarking, "look how gray he 18-how long do you think he'll And another 1s saying, "Well, never thought they'd be able to pry old Boyle off the payroll." It is time now for the big speech by "the old head ut the firm. Actually he is a brisk young man of 19. H8 by then teenagers will be running the world. Rising and looking at a card in his hand to he sure he has my name right, "the old man' says: "Boyle, the place won't be the same without you -but we'll do our best to carry on. and I have a feeling we'll he able to.

I accept the watch. tears running down my aged cheeks, and murmur brokenly, "Gee, boys, it's 100 much.

J'ou shouldn't have done it." Or do 1 do what know I'd secretly like 10-take the watch, hurl it out the window, give A magnificent Bronx cheer. and stalk out? I certainly hope I'd have the moral courage to do the latter. Perhaps that would start a trend toward giving men at retirement something more useful. like retiring brewery horse to. green Presenting them 8 gold watch is pastures with H.

quart of oats and A Met of new silver er-plated horse-shoes. They will have time enough on their hands without being further reminded of their axe by a ticking watch. You might as well give them a hund. painted perpetual calendar. This whole custom of "bon voyage" gifts at 05 needs to be adjusted to the facts of the Individual vase.

11 EL why give him at a time when he man doesn't own. a watch by then, may not want to fritter away his strength winding it? Other Gifts Preferred Perhaps he'd rather have a b118 ticket to Florida. Or a lifetinie pass to Yankee Stadium. Or A new hearing aid so he'll be better able to hear his wife's interesting observations on the mistakes he made during his career. As for myself, all I want is A motorpropelled wheel chair and a subscription to the Police Gazette.

A friend of mine downtown has an even more Interesting wish. they'll just give me A. racehorse when retire, I'll be satisfed," he said. "That'll give me. A chance to win enough to come back and buy out the Arm- and it the way I'd like to." But -please omit the gold watch.
