COMPULSORY SERVICE IN HOME GUARD
DETAILS OF RIGHT TO APPEAL It is expected that notices calling up 150 men resident in Invercargill to serve in the Home Guard will be issued this week. These men do not belong to the E.P.S. or to any organization connected with the defence of the country. Neither have they claimed exemption on medical grounds. They have, therefore, been classified as being available for the Home Guard. A man so called up has the right of appeal on four grounds: (1) That he was wrongfully included in the class called on for service in the Guard, that is, British subjects between the ages of 35 and 50 inclusive; (2) public interest: (3) undue hardship to himself or others; (4) conscientious objections. An employer, parent or dependent of a man called on for service also has the right of appeal on the ground of undue hardship or of public interest. A man called up is advised to notify his employer Immediately. Appeals must be lodged with the secretary of the Southland Man-Power Committee, Invercargill, within 10 days after receipt of the calling-up notices.
