MAJOR PROBLEM

Haydlen, secretary of the National Patriotic Fund Board at Rangiora recently. Many young men of 20 and 23 were flight lieutenants, squadron leaders and wing commanders in the Air Force and some earned and. spent as much as £lOOO a year. Even if they could be assured of jobs at £8 a week on their return their expensive habits would make living a problem to them and to the community. Sympathetic understanding would be needed to help them in readjusting themselves to normal standards.
