HOME GUARD EXPENSES
Sir, —I read in your paper thaf there is some discussion liUely as to who is to pay the Home Guard expenses. I really cannot see that it would be a great burden for the local bodies as there will not be a great deal of money necessary after the initial organisation is done. Perhaps a little expense in petrol may be incurred. In other towns derstand that the local footed the bill and in every e\tse T know of have offered halls for drilling without change. After all the local bodies are supposed to give a lead to the people, and t*he Guardsmen who are residents of the dis-» trict and wish t'i have the organisation in operation deserve every encouragement. However, if the locaT do not desire to foster this important work to the extent of at few pounds I suggest ihat the Guardsmen be askod for an annual levy of say, ss. The Guard is in their own interests in several ways. Not only arc the men doing a necessary work, but also are keening ft, and having as well as interesting training, quite a social otiHns each week. The Guard will actuals be a type of friendly society arvi a -mall sub would not bp out of tV' . ■ ■ i GUATirS:!AN.
