Soveral instances were quoted where moa engaged in essential farm or road work had to go to a Territorial camp, when they would learn the same drill in the main training camp. One case was that of a married man with two ohildren, and another instanco was that of a remaining son on a farm, with three brothers enlisted. A road teamster had been refused exemption, and the team was idle. Condemnation was expressed, the position being described as ridiculous.
