DISABLED SOLDIERS
Work In City Factory
In the factory in Invercargill conducted by the Disabled Servicemens Re-establishment League six men are now employed. They include returned soldiers of the 1914-18 war and of the present war. They are engaged on basketware, the repair of prams and on the making of articles of wood such as toys, ornaments and articles of furniture. _ ... At a meeting of the Invercargill branch of the league yesterday it was reported that a wood-turning lathe and a paint-spraying plant had been purchased for use in the factory. The paint-spraying plant, it was stated, was required because of the large number of inquiries that had been received at the factory for the renovation of cane prams. It was reported that a good stock of cane was in hand. In fact it was considered that the stock of cane was the largest held anywhere in New Zealand. The appointment of Mr J. Heslin as instructor for the training of returned men in woodwork was confirmed.
