John Morris Rees, Halfway Inn, Tre'r-ddol, appealed on the ground that he was the sole support of a widowed mother and sister. Mr. A. J. Hughes supported the appeal and said Rees was no shirker. All he asked was reasonable time to make arrangements at the end of the harvest. The appeal was dismissed and the decision of the local tribunal was confirmed.
