WOMAN DRAWN
TERRITORIAL BALLOT
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
ROTORUA, October 6
The drawing of a woman in the ballot under the National Service Regulations was revealed by the purging of the list by the Rotorua Army Office to remove the names of those already serving with the Territorials or with the overseas forces.
The woman, concerned had a Maori Christian name, so that the mistake was not readily obvious. She received a registration certificate posting her to the first division of the general reserve, either due to an official error or to a mistake when the original social security form was filled in, but evidently she did nothing at that time to have the error rectified.
