"NOTHING TO DO"
GIRL IN THE ARMY APPLICATION FOR RELEASE "This is the first case of its kind," said Mr. F. J. Cox, Crown representative, when an appeal by Mavis Maynard, clerical worker, for release from the army was heard at a sitting of the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board this morning. The reservist said she made the appeal because she felt she was not earning her money Her duty was to answer the telephone, ■ and she received about one ring only a day. "You keep your buttons nicelypolished," remarked Mr. A. M. Samuel, a member of the board. The Reservist: That is all I have to do. _ _ „ The chairman, Mr. C R. Orr Walker, S.M., observed that merely asking to be released from the army was not sufficient. If the reservist had some essential work to go to, or was an expert on machine work, she would have some grounds for T*glG3.S6 The 'reservist said she had work to go to, and added that her superior officers had no objection to her leaving the army. . The board reserved its decision, the chairman advising the reservist to get her senior officer to write in that there was no objection to her discharge.
