Final Appeal Judges Grant Exemption for Ontario Farmer’s Son
Hon. Mr. Justice Duff, in the first test case before the Central Appeal Court, grants exemption to W. J. Rowntree, son of a Weston area farmer of 150 acres. The decision notes the father’s long tenure on the farm and the need to keep essential agricultural labor at home to sustain production amid a labor shortage. Ottawa December 8, 1917.
