Hertfordshire Appeal Tribunal 

Arthur George Tyler (31) of 24 Sandridge-road, St Albans, Robert J Sweeting, (31), of 2 New Dalton Street, St Albans, and George A Arnold, also of St Albans, milkcarriers in the employ of the Heath Farm Dairy Co, St Albans, were appealed for on the grounds of indispensibility. - It was pointed out that the firm delivered to 2,500 customers daily, and had already lost seven carriers who had joined the Army. They formerly had ten carriers. The business had taken forty years to establish and if these men were taken it would be lost. The Local Tribunal were of the opinion that the firm had made no effort to obtain female help. Since the war they had purchased another milk round and must have been fully alive to the position of affairs before they took it over. - The appeals were dismissed.
