COMPULSORY ARMY SERVICE
TWO APPEALS ADJOURNED FOR 14 DAYS Two applications by employers for postponements of military service under the Compulsory Military Training Act were adjourned for 14 days, by the No. 14 Military Service Postponement Committee in Christchurch yesterday. The committee comprised Messrs A. H. Cavill (chairman), J. S. Barr, aqd R. H. Webb. Mr J. McNight appeared for the Crown in each case. B. H. Brodie (Mr J. B. Corbett), a horse trainer, sought a postponement of service for Graeme Willis Mein. The £?pellant said that Mein was an apprentice jockey, and thart if he went irto the Army now, his riding weight of 7st 51b would probably increase by about a stone. Before adjourning the case for the calling of medical evidence, the chairman said: “This is an unusual matter, and we should have expert evidence. We are only laymen, and the comn.lttee does not feel competent to deal with the matter at present.” An appeal by A. E. Lovett, a dairy farmer (Mr E. B. E. Taylor), for his son, Gordon Philip Lovett, was also adjourned for a medical report.
