DODGED DRILL
CHEAPER TO ATTEND EMPLOYERS’ RESPONSIBILITY Drill may seem an irksome business to youths who are not particularly keen on military work, but most of them find it infinitely cheaper to attend than to evade their responsibilities. In the Police Court yesterday afternoon Frederick Hawlet, who had missed drill for five months, was fined £2, with 13s costs. The police located Mm aboard a yacht at Russell, it was said. The case against Claude J. Regan, an apprentice, who is at present in hospital as a result of a racing accident at Whangarei, was adjourned for six months to give him a chance to make up his lost parades. The same concession was granted to Archie Roy Leslie. “Your employer Is bound by law to make provision for you to attend these drills,” Mr. Hunt, S.M., told Mervyn Richards. £2 and 13s costs was the penalty with a promise of a £5 fine next time Richards failed to attend hia i parades.
