SARDINE CANNING
INTERESTING DETAILS STARTED IN HAURAKI GULF valuable industry, sardine canning, were given before the No. 2 Armed Forces Appeal Board in Wellington recently by Mr H. McK. Geddes, who appeared on behalf of Messrs Pawley and Sons, for the retention from military service of two members of their trawling crew. The industry was first established in the Hauraki Gulf, before the outbreak of the war, but the sinking of the
Niagara and H.M.S. Puriri by enemy mines made these waters impossible for its continuance there. The Marine Department had indicated the supply of sardines in Marlborough Sounds, and a new cannery was established there. The Food Controller had first call on the output for military needs. Since the inception of the new can nery 15 months ago, 330 tons of fish had been delivered there. The sardines had been preserved and sent to the Food Controller, and various military, naval and air force units and patriotic bodies. They made a total of 8109 cases, or 389,332 tins, 22 fish to the tin.
