\h\ro\A Haff, SuperiiUeiident of H!{«!iways of the Town
of ! Irnipslcad is probably one of Ihc most sincere public
servtiiils in the county of'Xassau.,^
Not only is he sincere, but !it? is al.sp modest, con­scientious,
capable and very efficient. His work is both his
vocation and a'vocalion. He* lives flic job 24 hours a day—7
tiay.s a week.
Mr. Haff is proud of his work. He constantly keeps
n personal survey on the conditi<»n of the hundreds of
miles of roads in the Tovvnship. He is always on the alert
to plan for projects which inake it more convenient for
residents of the Town of Hempstead.

B«i Harold Haff, like
^maiiy, other public sei'N'ants,
often has to take the brunt
Iqf criticism fbr situatibns
•which are not in his conti'ol.
' R^'cciitly- in the Shublrt
ySehooI ar^i of l^aldwin,
• some of the residents could­n't
make up their minds
witcther or not they, wanted
the trees to' remain during a
xornl improvement program.

A hurried, short-cut job can lead to trouble lateji". The
inconvenience in doing a good job is only teraporaiy, but
the finished product can IJC a permanent convenience.
Wc publicly salute Harold Haff and the nien of,the
Highway Department of the Town of Henipstead.
We compliment Harold Haff on his adiuiuislratioD aj>id
