MANPOWER COMMITTEE
A BUSY TIME WITH APPEALS The Dunedin Manpower Committee is being kept busy with a steady flow of appeals by men against being called up in the ballot for the Territorial forces. A wide variety of reasons for the appeals is given, but most of them are lodged on tne ground of hardship. Although it is expected that the total number of appeals will be twice the tally received up to the present, it does not seem likely that there will be many conscientous objectors among those appealing. To date, the number of conscientious objectors can still be counted on the fingers of ope hand. The personnel of the Dunedin Manpower Committee set up to deal with the appeals for exemption is: Messrs D. C. Cameron (chairman), W. R. Clarke, secretary of the local branch of the New Zea'land Seamen’s Union, and S. V. Smith, managing director of Cadbury Fry Hudson, Ltd. Mr W. J. M. Grant is the secretary.
