SHEARER DETAILED
SERVICES AS VALUABLE INI N.Z. AS WITH FORCES OVERSEAS INCREASED PRODUCTION An assurance that for the coming season there would, not be a drain on shearers as a result of men joining the overseas military forces or territorials going to camp, was given by the chairman of the Hawke's Bay Manpower Committee, Mr G. A. Maddison. He said it was fully lealised that as many shearers as possible would have to be retained if the full results of the district's efforts to increase production were to be realised. Mr Maddison said that unfortunately a number of shearers left with the First and Second Echelons, but since then it had been possible to compile a substantial list of shc.ar-i ers from Eketahuna to Wairoa, whose postponement of entry into the forces would be made possible to ensure that the district's requirements were fulfilled. He felt sure the majority of the men accepted the committee's decision because they realised that their services were just as valuable to the needs of Great Britain and New Zealand's war effort as were those of the men in khaki.
