    Notes:

    Four National Trainees Charged
    The necessity for strict adherence to the National Service Act was emphasised by Mr N. F. Applin, S.M., in the Court of Petty Sessions yesterday, when four trainees appeared before him on charges relating to the Act.
    Privates William Robert Charles Weeding, Robert Ernest Reid, James Alfred Wallace and Kingstone Fawcett Lyon each pleaded guilty to two charges, in that, being persons upon whom notices under section 26 of the Act had been served, they absented themselves without leave from an obligatory parade on October 14 and an obligatory bivouac on September 13-14, thereby failing to render the service required of them.
    The adjutant of the 42nd Battalion (Lieut. William Moran), who prosecuted, said that the men were trained at considerable expense to the public and if they were allowed to get away with absenting themselves without leave a number of others would do the same thing. Parades were held at the Archer Street Drill Hall and notice cards were sent to the trainees setting out dates of parades.
    Mr. Applin: The Act requires you to attend. It also provides for a penalty not exceeding ?50 for failing to attend, and a provision that, on conviction, I can commit you to the military to be taken into custody forthwith.
    There is also provision that, in addition to a fine, if I see fit, I can release you on a bond, to comply with any future notices served on you. if you do not do this, then you are liable to further penalty.
    I can assure you now that if you are brought before me again in connection with this matter, I will order that you be committed to the military and I can order you to be taken into custody until the military can take you.
    Mr. Applin also said that the Act was passed to ensure that everyone had some military training. It was a duty to the country and something that must be done, but as this was the first application of this kind before him, he did not intend to impose a heavy fine.
    The defendants were fined ?1, plus 6/- costs, on each of the two charges, in default three days' imprisonment. Each was also ordered to enter into a bond of ?10 that they would comply with any further notices served upon them under this section of the Act in default, to be committed, to the Senior Administrative Officer of the Northern Command (Brigadier White).
    Wallace was allowed seven days in which to pay.
    Lieutenant Moran stated that if trainees were working they should apply for leave at least seven days before and, if leave was impossible, they should submit a certificate showing that they were required at work.
    Mr. Applin's advice to the trainees was to see their employers as soon as they got their notices and obtain permission to attend the parades. He said that the emoloyers were required to release the men without afterwards penalising them.

    Note: When asked about this episode, Jim replied that the parades were "on the wrong night". Jim had a carefree way about him; to put it mildly. A larrikin he was.


    TRAINEE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
    Ten breaches of the National Service Act resulted in a 19-year-old youth being fined ?18 and ordered into the immediate custody of the military authorities, by Mr. N. F. Applin, S.M., in the Court of Petty Sessions yesterday.
    James Wallace, boilermaker, pleaded guilty to having failed to render service under the National Service Act by absenting himself without leave from ten obligatory parades between January 27, and March 3.
    Lieutenant H. J. Moran, who prosecuted on behalf of the military authorities, said that the defendant had appeared before the court in November on a similar charge, but was released after entering into a bond to comply with the regulations. Since then he had attended only one parade. His three months' training period had been served, but he had 77 days to complete.
    Mr. Applin told the defendant that it was a serious matter, as previously he had been dealt with lightly.
    "You have given only flimsy excuses* and apparently had no intention of attending the parades," he said.
    Wallace was convicted and fined ?5, with 6/- costs, in default 14 days' imprisonment on two charges, and ?1. with 6/ costs, in default three days, on eight charges. He was allowed three months to pay the fines.
    An immediate order was also issued for the defendant to be taken into the custody of the Senior Administration Officer, Northern Command, and escorted to Brisbane to render the prescribed service.

    *According to Jim, the parades were "on the wrong night". That was what he said 50 years or so after the event. Perhaps this was one of the "flimsy excuses" he offered up back in 1953.
