MILTARY SERVICE FOR MARRIED MEN

Sir-Can you answer these questions? My husband was called for military service over two years ago, but exempted as a carpenter. Recently he was called again and an appeal by his employer. has been dismissed, and he now awaits orders to proceed to camp. We have two children, and we expect a third within six weeks. We have no appeal on the grounds of personal hardship, and are making no complaint. But has it not been announced by the Government: (1) that all the carpenters it can find are necessary to overtake the housing shortage, and (2) that men with three children or more will not be taken into the Army?

(Hutt Valley).
