EX-SOLDIERS AND CAMPS
Strong exception is taken by two correspondents to statements made in a letter recently by the Returned Soldiers' Association from a returned soldier in a relief camp; _E\ Carroll contradicts emphatically the suggestion that men who I are dodgers prefer the camps to farm work.' The writer cites his own qualifications and his efforts to find _ny sort of job, and declares that jobs cannot- be found. W. _s. . McLeod, writing, from Beach Road ■ Camp, Paraparauinu, states that there ;are ho "cushy" jobs in the two soldier camps there. The work is stumping, draining, cutting, burning,'-and grubbing gorse. and scrub, none of* which is easy. Volunteers are sp reluctant to take kitchen and mess-room work that the rota system has had: to be introduced. Pay ranges from 5s to lis-a* week, and' how anyone could leave camp with a brand new outfit is a mystery.
