MEN EXEMPT FROM SERVICE
SPECIAL BADGE SUGGESTED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, March 4. The suggestion that reservists granted exemption from military service because they were engaged in essential service should be given a distinguishing badge to wear was made today by Mr A. M. Samuel, a member of the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board. Mr Samuel said it was hardly fair that young men such as the reservist before the' board, who expressed a desire to get into the Army with his mates, should have to walk about in civilian clothes without anything to distinguish them from conscientious objectors. “We have made that suggestion,” said the chairman, Mr C. R. Orr-Walker, “but nothing has been done.”
