HOME GUARD
SUSPENSION OF DAY PARADES
ADVOCATED
OPINION" OF FARMERS
Representations that during the busy farming season daylight Home Guard, parades should be suspended in the interests of primary production are to lie made to the authorities by the combined North and Central Taranaki councils of primary' production. It is suggested that the balance of the time should be made up in the' autumn and ; winter.
Action in the direction indicated was decided upon on receipt of resolutions from several district committees stressing that if increased production were urgently required it. would be necessary to have daylight parades of Home Guardsmen cancelled during the busy farming season. The suspension of day parades was becoming urgent to prevent the physical breakdown of some' of the men, said Mr C. H. M. Sorenson, fields supervisor for the combined councils, but he thought that many farmers who were keen to attend night parades would oppose any suggestion of the Home Guard going into recess for a period.
