NO DAY PARADES
IN BUSY FARM SEASON
HOME GUARD PROPOSAL,
(0.C.) NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.
Representations that during the busy farming season daylight Home Guard parades should be suspended in the interests of primary production are to be made to the authorities by the combined North and Central Taranaki councils of primary production. It is suggested that the balance of the time should be made up in the autumn and winter. Action in the direction indicated was decided upon on receipt of resolutions from several district committees stressing that if increased production were urgently required it would be necessarv to have daylight parades of Home Guardsmen cancelled during the busy farming season. The suspension of day parades was becoming urgent to prevent the physical breakdown of some of the men, said Mr. C. H. M. Sorenson fields supervisor for the combined councils, but he thought that many farmers who were keen to attend night parades would oppose anv suggestion of the Home Guard going into recess for a period.
