WORK OR GAOL
"I would just hate to send a girl like you to gaol," said Mr. W. C. Harley, S.M., to Dawn Chrapla, a young married woman, who appeared for the second time at the Lower Hutt Court on a charge of failing to comply with an order of the man-power officer directing her to work at the Wellington Woollen Mills. In answer to Mr. Harley the defendant said she had not complied because she did not like factory work. "Whether you like it or not," said Mr. Harley, ''you have got to go to work. That's the only answer, work or gaol." After being given an hour to decide the defendant said, "I suppose it will have to be work." She was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon three months.
