Ohristchurch: During tho month 47 workers applied for assistance, 43 of whom wero found suitable employment.

For the same period 275 applications, have been received from employers.

Girls aro urgently, wanted for dressmaking, tailoring, laundries, etc., also apprentices for dressmaking.

Of the latter, 20 were placed in suitable employment; 9 were married and 17 single women. Three persons not included in the above applied and were found employment, these having been previously assisted—viz., 2 charwomen and a general.
