        ST. THOMAS TRIBUNAL

        [...]

        St. Thomas Rural Tribunal met at the Oddfellows' Hall, Exeter, yesterday, Mr. J. H. Ley presiding. Captain Vyvyan was the military representative, and Colonel Bennett attended as substitution officer.

        [...]

        One Son Must Go

        Mr. Nicks, of Brampford Speke, farming 400 acres, 140 of which are arable, was told that later on one of his two sons would have to go. The application under consideration was in respect of William Henry Nicks, 19, classed B2, working one of three teams of horses. The other son had just passed 18, and besides the two sons there were three men employed on the farm, one being of military age, whose case would come before the tribunal shortly. - In granting exemption to July 1st for the B2 son, the Chairman warned the father, as stated above, that when the younger came of military age one of the two would have to serve.
