Despite many disadvantages in public service, three leaders in government last night illustrated the fact that satisfaction derived from such service can offset the unattractive features. The three public servants spoke at a Conference on Careers in Government in Dudley.

Stephen K. Bailey rested his case on the opportunity for public service.
