The Military Representative appealed for the certificate granted to Abraham Wass (33) Forest Street, a Class A man, to be cancelled, as he was not now engaged in scavenging work. Wass said that he was still engaged on farm work. They had two farms, one belonging to him and the other to his father, and he had assisted on both. Altogether there were 100 acres and 27 head of cattle. The Tribunal agreed to the certificate being cancelled.
