Final Appeal Grants Exemption for Farmer’s Son in Ontario
Justice Duff in the Central Appeal Court on December 6 grants exemption from military service to W J Rowntree, a farm hand on a 150 acre Ontario farm near Weston. The ruling keeps his son in agricultural labor to prevent any diminution in production, stressing national interest and limited labor supply. Ottawa, Dec. 8, 1917.
