SOLDIERS' LEAVE
WEEK-END TRAVEL Pleas by service car operators for permission to continue Sunday services on the ground of tlieir usefulness and convenience to soldiers on week-tend leave made at the special sitting of the No. 2 Licensing Authority last week brought from Mr J. P. Skoglund, who presided, the reply that if tjTe-s were to be conserved Sunday running must he drastically curtailed and soldiers -would not be able to move about as they had in the past. He was sympathetic with the thought that travel facilities should be available to men going overseas, but Territorials were in a different position, and it was evident that quite a number of services had been running simply to enter for soldiers at week-ends. Something would have to be done about that, and he thought that could, be arranged so that soldiers could avail themselves of ordinary means of travel.
