WHEN THE SHOE PINCHES
ONLY when the shoe pinches the person concerned, can we expect the individual to sit up and take notice. Such was the reaction of a local resident who received word from his son serving in the forces that, because the watersiders had refused to load a cargo of munitions unless they were paid at the rate of 2/- extra per hour, he with other members of the Armed Forces worked from 6 a.m. till 9 p.m. at ordinary Army pay and completed the job. All they received extra was 'a nice cup of morning tea.'
