FAILURE TO REPORT
Farmer Fined £5O (Bv Telegraph.—Press Association.) ‘ NEW PLYMOUTH, October 1. Michael Kowalewski, farmer, Waipuku, was fined £5O at Stratford yesterday on a charge of failing to report to tile military authorities. If tile line was not. paid it would be levied by distraint on his herd, tlie magistrate, Mr. W. H. Woodward, warned Kowalewski. “It is quite clear that some compulsion must be put mi him and without, if possible. interfering with tlie production from his farm." said tlie magistrate. "I cannot believe he has made every effort to dispose of the farm. He has escaped his military obligations long enough, but I cannot semi him straight to jail, as that would ruin his herd.” The police stated that Kowalewski, a single man, aged 30. was one of six brothers, all ot whom were farming, and it was considered that the other five could look after the farm and release him. They refused to do so because they said they had enough to do.
