FIRST PAY NEXT TUESDAY

MEN WAITING TO GO INTO CAMP CONDITIONS OUTLINED (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, September 12. From Tuesday next, Expeditionary Force recruits posted to the 4th Reinforcements who are out of employment through delay, because of the measles epidemic, in mobilizing the reinforcements for training, will begin to receive military pay. They receive one week’s pay on that day and thereafter 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 been re-engaged in civil occupations pending mobilization will not be eligible for Army pay. The pay will be available at defence offices in the various military areas throughout the Dominion, and warrants, which may be cashed at any post office, will be issued. NO INFORMATION YET , AVAILABLE FOURTH REINFORCEMENTS ENTERING CAMP (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, September 12. No information is yet available about when the 4th Reinforcements of the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force will be called up to enter mobilization camps for training. This will, of course, depend on the duration of the measles epidemic which has affected military camps as well as a section of the civil population.
