LAND GIRL
Sir,—l would like to know if I am entitled to my bus fare and two days’ wages as I had to come 47 miles into the city to ba interviewed at 6.45 p.m. The bus leaves the city shortly after 5 o’clock, which meant I had to stay the night, and return the following evening. I was working as a domestic in the city and left to do essential work on the farm. When I spoke to the lady in the Manpower Office she only said she was sorry, but this does not compensate for the expense and inconvenience it caused • me.—Yours, etc. ” A LAND GIRL CALLED UP. February 18. 1943. [“This letter apparently refers to a girl whose notice of interview was sent to Innes road,” said the Placement Officer (Mr M. Ross). “This notice must have been forwarded to the girl’s present address in the country. Had she written or telephoned this department it would have been unnecessary for her to make the journey to town.”]
