A great deal of trouble will be saved the Military Service Board when men who aro called up learn that physical unfitness is not a ground of appeal to the Military. Service Board, but purely a matter for tho Medical Board to deal with (states the "Otago Daily Times"). Every day appellants came before the Military Service Board pleading unfitness, but unless they can bring evidence of rejection by the Medical Board tho Military Service Board has no option but to dismiss tho appeal or adjourn it to enable tlie appellants to be medically examined. Not that tho appellants aro always to blame, for they often complain that they cannot get tho Medical Board when thoy want it. In this connection anyone who follows the proceedings of tho Military Service Board must be struck with the waste of time and inconvenience caused through lack of co-ordina-tion between the operations of the two hoards. In the natural course one would expect that the Medical Board would precede tho Military Service Board in its work, and thus.give all intending appellants a chance to know how they stand physically. As it is numbers of difficult cases occupy tho time and thought of tho Military Service Board, when all tho time there is a likelihood that whatever its decision may. bo, tho matter may really be determined by the dictum of tho Medical Board. At Balclutha on Friday the Military Service Board adjourned six cases for medical examination. 'Another ground of complaint is that even when the' Medical Board has dealt with n man who has been called up, the Military Service Boai-d is sometimes left wondering what its decision has boon, and of conrso the appellant himself does not know.
