The Southland Man-Power ‘ Committee will consider appeals against territorial service by Southland appellants on Monday and Tuesday of next week. The committee will also hear appeals at the secretary’s office on the evenings of those days. These will all be public sittings. The committee will also sit at Gore on Wednesday and at Balclutha on Thursday. Up until last night 285 appeals had been lodged at the Man-Power Committee’s office and there are still two more days before the closing date for the appeals on January 30. The number of Southland men, married and without children, called in the latest ballot for territorial service, was 1413, The ballot was published eight days ago and since then 285 appeals have been lodged chiefly from solo farmers, freezing works employees and linen flax workers. If this rate is maintained about one third of those called will have appealed. In the eight days after the publication of the first ballot for single men 350 appeals were lodged. The total number of appeals for that ballot was 476.
