QUESTION OF LIABILITY
PASSENGERS FOR HOME GUARD
Some clarification of the position arising in the event of a passenger being carried by farmers to Home Guard parades meeting with injury was recently sought from the Minister of Defence by the Auckland Farmers' Union. The Minister replied that such responsibility had not been accepted for any. section of the Defence Forces, but the position as it affected the Home Guard would be given consideration by the Government. "In the meantime," continued the .Minister, "it would appear advisable for the car owners concerned to consult their insurance companies, and if necessary, a solicitor, for advice how to best protect themselves against any possible claim in the event of an accident." / Basis for Compensation The same communication enquired as to the basis of compensation for injury in the case of the Independent Mounted Rifle Units or of the National Military reserve. The .Minister's reply stated: "It is based on the Workers' Compensation Act, and not on military pay. The same applies to the Territorial Force and the Home Guard." Cheese Vat as Swimming Bath Children at a country school in Taranaki have been taught to swim in an old cheese vat, which made a splendid swimming bath.
