A Number of Exemptions
National Service Representative to Appeal
Tuesday, present Messrs. T. Swindall (chairman), C. Bates, C. Cross, C.C., and C. W. Horrell, with Mr. G. S. Mason (clerk) and the National Service representatives (Mr. H. Dulley and Mr. J. S. Mason).
Mr. John Austin, oil merchant, etc., appeared to support an appeal for his son, Frederick A. Austin, 30, Grade 1. Mr. J. Austin explained that he was not now physically capable of doing the work of the business, and he had therefore taken up war work. His son travelled round 21 villages with oil, and served a number of farmers with fuel for tractors. He was the only oil dealer in this part of the country. - The Tribunal granted exemption until October 31st. – Mr. Dulley said he should appeal to the County Tribunal in this case.
