A story of a family's unusual visitation of ill-health was told during the sitting of the Military Service Board at Auckland. Martha Parr] in supporting ! the appeal of her son, Frederick Parr, | Waikumete, stated that the latter was 1 managing a farm of 71~acre's. He was also a member.of the Society of Friend*, but was not appealing on that ground. There were two other sons,' but one had suffered a nervous breakdown last year, and the other had accompanied him on a sea trip in order to see if the change would do him any good. > On arrival at Honolulu the second brother; who had previously suffered injury to his head • as a result of an accident, had become ill j from the strain of looking after the other, and the father had left home • year ago in order to look after them both. No improvement in the health of either had taken place, and, according to latest advice, the three had taken a trip to Australia to try another change of climate. Witness had no idea wher* I they were at present, or whon they would be, likely to return.. Answering Major Cowan, she 6aid they belonged to the Society of Friends, but refuted any imputation that they had left the country in order to evade military service. The board decided that appellant should proceed to camp on 15th November, advising witness to expedite the return of the absent one* by acquainting them with the fact. ■ News has just, reached Wellington that,' Captain' Stenhouse, R.N., who was connected with the Shackieton Expedition, and w«s very popular while in New Zealand, wm gunnery officer on one of His ■Majesty's ships . which, recently., sank a big submarine, arid ha* been awarded the D.S.O.
