Ross appearing in support of the appeal. It was stated that the service was daily, carrying passengers, school children, parcels, newspapers and mails, and replacement of a driver was most difficult. The appeal was adjourned sine die. Driver for Marshall and Belton. Ltd. (Mr. Ross), Walter G. Vendt was appealed for by that firm, Mr. W. J. Marshall stating that four drivers were employed on four trucks which were fully employed on work previously detailed to the board. He had seen in the Press the requirements for the forces and efforts would be made to secure a replacement for Vendt. Vendt told the board that he had been released from his employment in Auckland on condition he went farming, but on being interviewed in the manpower office in Whangarei, and informing the officer of this condition he had been told that farming was not considered essential. He had been told to find himself a job and had informed the manpower office that he had obtained his present position. He was still prepared to go farming. The board dismissed the appeal, conditional on Vendt not being called before March 1. Appealing on the grounds of hardship, Lewis A. J. James, painter, said he was a' •widower with one child, attending school, and they were boarding.

The appeal was dismissed, conditional on James not being called before February 1. The North Auckland Farmers’ Co-op., Ltd., appealed for Major E. Fell and John W. Flower, motor mechanics, both volunteers for the air force. Mr, T.
