Conscientious Objectors At Forbes Court Hear Exemption pleas
At Forbes Police Court three exemption applications from service in naval, army and air forces were heard. Alan John Harris and Rufus Buttriss Loxley were granted civil service duties while Bert Strickland was refused. A fourth applicant was struck out for non-appearance. Lieut. Williamson watched for military authorities as P.M. Donaldson presided. Harris argued on religious grounds as Jehovahs Witness, citing Bible verses to oppose war while allowing defense of property. Loxley relied on similar scriptural justifications, stressing obedience to God over earthly combat.
