APPEAL MADE TO HELP EXSOLDIERS.

On behalf of ex-service men, the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association earnestly asks all employers of labour to remember war-time promises and to give preference to the men who did their “bit” when called upon. The fol--I°' -*ig re ution was passt at ecent meeting.'—“That this Executive Standing Sub-Committee of the N.Z.R.S.A. notes that at the last meeting of the Wellington Education Board the position of Staff's Officer was discussed and Mr Clark pressed for the appointment of a man stating that there were scores of good men—returned soldiers too —who would be suitable in every way and glad of the opportunity. \N bile not aware of the full facts it is regretted that the board could not see its way clear to call for applications with preference to returned men. The N.Z.R.S.A., in reference to this important subject, regrets that preference to returned men is being lost sight of and urges all public bodies and employers of labour to remember that there are many competent ex-service men seeking employment. It urges them to con tinue to give preference to ex-soldiers For any vacancies that may occur.”
