TRAINING ON FARMS FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS. JTBE New Plymouth Repatriation Committee invites the co-operation of farmers-to train ex-s#}diers in farming. The employer s required to pay them a wage of flu week and found, whilst the Committee pays an allowance to the men whilst receiving training of £1 per week, half of which is retained on his behalf by the Repatriation Department. It must be recognised that there is a duty cast on every member of the community to help the Returned Soldiers, who have risked all and suffered untold hardship to maintain freedom and justice. Without their efforts we would all be now in bondage and the farmers would not be in possession of their fee simple. The committee therefore appeals to the patriotism of the farmers to help the returned men to learn farming and equip them to become producers the more of whom we have the greater the production, and the easier the burden caused by the war.
