DELAYED CAMP ENTRY
MANY RECRUITS WITHOUT WORK WILL RECEIVE MILITARY PAY [Per United Press Association,] WELLINGTON, September 12. From Tuesday next Expeditionary Force recruits posted to the Fourth Reinforcements who are out of employment through the delay owing to the measles epidemic in mobilising the reinforcements for training, will begin to receive military pay. They will receive one week's pay on that day, and thereafter they will be paid fortnightly in accordance with the normal army procedure. The pay granted will include sustenance and allowances for wives and children where applicable. To qualify, each recruit must produce a certificate from his former employer stating that he is unable to provide the recruit with work, or, in the case of unemployed men, a similar certificate from the Social Security Department. Men who have boon re-engaged in civil occupations pending mobilisation will not be eligible, for army pay. Pay will be available at the defence offices in the various military areas throughout the Dominion, and warrants, which may be cashed at any post office, will be issued.
