Industry in the Country Manager of the all-Maori Oporiao Dairy Company's cheese factory at Ruatoki, Mr Peirimi Mills (grandson of the great Tuhoe Chief Te Maikoha) carries out tests on milk. Staff problems? Hardly any, says Mr Mills. No absenteeism. ‘You are never skilled at this work,’ says Mr Mills after thirty years. ‘You only think you are: you never stop learning.’ (PHOTOGRAPH: CHARLES HALE.) This small clothing factory at Tokaanu, providing employment for up to ten women in an area where no other industrial work exists, has been supplying clothing to the Army. Although few of the women had previous training; the standard of work was found entirely satisfactory. (PHOTOGRAPH: J. FUN.)
