EFFECT OF BALLOTS ON E.P.S.
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 27. The effect on the Christchurch E.P.S. of the calling up of age groups to 45 is causing deep concern and representations are to be made to the Government that key personnel be exempted from military service. The district controller (Mr E. H. Andrews) said the E.P.S. had already lost a big proportion of its most able, active and efficient men. Further inroads on the key personnel would threaten not merely the efficiency, but its very existence as a working, civil defence organization. “We were told by the Government that wardens, controllers and other key personnel would be exempt from service. Unfortunately that has not been true up to now,” said Mr Andrews.
