FARM EMPLOYMENT
A general willingness on behalf of the majority of workers to fall in with the efforts of the Social' Security Department to place fit men on productive farm works is reported by the registrar of the department in Napier, Mr C. V. Goddard. There is a steady demand by farmers for men for various types of work which are subsidised according to arrangements made between the department and the farmers concerned. As the jobs develop the department is securing men and sending them out, and so far the supply of labour available has been sufficient to keep pace with the demands. Mr Goddard said the men showed no reluctance when farm work was proposed, apparently realising that it was a service of national importance in the present circumstances. He had met with very few objections indeed, and in all cases those had been perfectly genuine. He expressed the opinion that it would be possible to absorb practically all the fit men available in the district in useful, productive work.
