Final Appeal Judge Grants Exemption for Farmer Worker
Hon. Mr. Justice Duff grants exemption until he ceases to be employed in agricultural labor in the first test case under the Military Service Act. W. H. Rowntree appeals for his son W. J. Rowntree, a seven year farm hand on a 150 acre Weston, Ontario, farm. The ruling emphasizes keeping men in essential agricultural labor to sustain production despite labor shortages, noting the national interest over personal hardship.
