TERRITORIAL FORCE
MEN IN LATEST BALLOT There is no definite information at Army headquarters in Hamilton as to the proposal to draft men over 35 years of age who have been drawn in the last ballot to the National Military Reserve units, and to send the others to Territorial Force formations. I'f this plan is adopted it will mean that as far as possible, the men of the various ages will be serving alongside others of approximately the same age. The date fo.r entry into camp of the men drawn in the latest ballot has not yet been announced, but there is 'an expectation in well-in-formed quarters that the first assumption of a calllng-up Avithin week or 10 days is Avrong. It has been pointed out that a great deal of preliminary work has to be done, including medical examinations, for men AA'hoi are not normally called to camp until they have been passed fit by a medical board. Then there will be a percentage, at present not ascertainable, of reservists who have lodged appeals, and unless something unforeseen occurs these appellants will not go to camp before their cases are heard.
