POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
“Universal’s” views on appeals for the exemption of farmers’ sons from military service are opposed by “Form HI,” who says that the shortage' of farm labour would not be so acute, had not so many farmers’ sons enlisted early. "Surely some must be left” in a vital industry, he concludes. ,
J. Locke, commenting on the opinion of a New Zealand Magistrate that high wages for youths constitute a grave social problem and on reports of similar opinions recently expressed in England, suggests that “a far graver social problem” must be presented by those who receive much more than the youth’s £1 a week in England or £4 in New Zealand,
“8.5.” suggests that the Health Department should place a notice in all shops asking assistants, ta wash their hands before serving food, or at least to use tongs and so avoid causing contamination.
