"THERE IS A JOB"
"There is a job for each and every one of us," said the Mayor of Lower Hutt in an appeal for volunteer firebrigadesmenl He added that if the men did not wish to take up volunteer fire-fighting they would be welcomed in the E.P.S. or the Home Guard. There is, in fact, a job for everyone. One has not to look far to find where. There are appeals by the Minister of National Service for 100,000 men for the Home Guard, appeals for stronger E.P.S. units, appeals for national savings (in which groups and collectors are playing a valuable part). When the 'numerous duties to be provided for in an emergency are considered it must be patent to everyone that no willing man or woman need walk round saying: "I'd like to do something, but there's no job for me." When the war was in its early stages this excuse probably held good except for the young and fit. Now no one can truthfully make it. Those who complained formerly can find the jobs, if they are cager —and they should be. cager —to take them.
