BADGE SUGGESTED
ESSENTIAL SERVICE MEN
(P.A.) AUCKLAND. March 4. The suggestion that reservists granted exemption from military service because they were engaged in essential service should be given a distinguishing badge to wear was made by Mr. A. M. Samuel, a member of the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board. •today ; Mr. Samuel said it was. hardly fair that young men, such as the reservist before the board, who expressed a desire to get into the army with his mates should have to walk about in civilian clothes without anything to distinguish them from conscientious objectors. "We have made that suggestion," said the chairman, Mr. Orr Walker, "but nothing has been done."
At a dance organised by the Salford A.R.P. the charge for admission was eight ounces of copper or aluminium. The metal was weighed on scales at the door.
