“HOW MANUFACTURERS CAN HELP RETURNED SOLDIERS.”
Tho two gold medals presented by Messrs A. and Ct. Price, Ltd., engineers, Thames, for the best essays on the above subject, from any boy or girl attending any college or school in New Zealand, have been awarded to the following:— GiiiS 1 : Winnie Gatherwood, Feather, stou. Boys: Ralph AVilson, Taupaki. The whole of the essays received were of a very high standard, and reflect groat credit on the writers, most of whom came to this conclusion, viz.: That New Zealand manufacturers can best help returned soldiers by: Firstly: Giving them preference in employment. Secondly: Training soldiers who wish to learn. Thirdly: Giving the light work to partially disabled soldiers.
The competitors considered that the general public could give a helping hand by buying Now Zealand made goods, thus making the manufactures* so busy that they would require a lot more men and which would enable them to employ the soldiers as they returned to take up civil life.
