INDIAN’S SCRUPLES
To Cook For The Army WAIROA, January 28. An Indian appellant, Adbul Hay Sulaman, gave the inability of the Army to provide food that would not clash with his Mohammedan beliefs as the main reason for his appeal to the Armed Forces Appeal Board in Wairoa Declaring that he had never eaten food cooked by a European, except bread, SUlaman said he did his own cooking. After cross-examination, the chairman, Mr H. B. Lusk, said appellant had admitted that he had cooked food. There was no reason why he should not do some cooking for Europeans. The appeal was dismissed, with a recommendation that Sulaman be employed in the army as a cook.
