APPEAL OPPOSED
LAST OF SIX SONS (0.C.) WAIPUKURAU, Monday. Objection to an appeal lodged on his behalf on the grounds of public interest by the Director of National Service was taken by Jasper Lucas Herrick, farmer, when his case was heard in Waipukurau. The recruit was stated to be the last of a family of six boys to enter the armed forces. The appeal was struck out, as the committee was satisfied he should be released and his replacement effected. "I think in the light of Mr. Semple's request for as few appeals as possible," wrote the reservist, '"it is extraordinarily high-handed action on your part appealing for a man without even bothering to consult him or to find out in what circumstances he is placed." The chairman, Mr. G. A. Maddison, said the committee appreciated the motives which actuated and I inspired the letter. The tone of it, however, was not all it might have been. The director, or the committee as his agent, was justified in lodging the appeal, which, after all, was in the nature of an inquiry.
