THOUSANDS OF MEALS
PROFITS FROM A CAFE Stating that the average of about 6000 grills and cooked meals served during a week in 1942 had been increased over the last six months to more than 8000, George Vlasic, proprietor of a cafe, appealed against military service before the No. 2 (Auckland) Armed Forces Appeal Board, on the grounds of public interest and undue hardship. The reservist is 34, married, and Grade 1. The reservist was unable to tell the Crown representative, Mr. L. N. Harris, what he considered the business was worth at present, but he said he would not accept £SOOO for it. He made about £2OOO from the business.
Mr. Harris: One appreciates the reservist’s reluctance to give it up. On account of the reservist’s age and medical grading, the appeal was dismissed, conditional upon his not being called to camp befoi-e November 1.
