Shortage of Shearers
“Without a doubt there is a desperate shortage of shearers, and anything that can be done to improve the position for next season will be welcome,” the chairman of the Otago provincial executive of Federated Farmers of New Zealand, Mr S. Sim, said at a meeting of the executive. A request had been received from the National Employment Service that the federation should co-operate in making a survey of the labour available for shearing operations. The Meat and Wool Committee of the executive was instructed to co-operate with the department.
Lighthouse Proposal A suggestion that the Wellington Chamber of Commerce should sponsor a proposal to erect a lighthouse on Barrett’s Reef, Wellington, as a memorial to naval and merchant seamen who had lost their lives during the war, was put forward at a meeting of the chamber by Mr' A. Leslie Wall. Mr Wall said the idea had first been suggested by a correspondent in a newspaper. “I can think of nothing that could be more dignified or more useful than a monument of this kind,” he “said. The secretary was asked to make inquiries into the matter.
