OVERSEAS BALLOT
HEARING OF APPEALS COMMENCEMENT NEXT WEEK CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS A start with hearing service appeals from men drawn in the first overseas ballot will he made by the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board next week. The board will also hear appeals from conscientious objectors who were called in the first and second territorial ballots. The first public sitting of the board will take place at Pukekohe Magistrates' Court at 10.30 a.m. on Thursday, when a small number of cases will be considered.
