MEN FOR BUILDING INDUSTRY
More Training Centres
Planned
(P A.) WELLINGTON. November 3. “One of the major problems facing the Government to-day,” said the Minister for Labour (the Hon. P. C. Webb) in an interview, "is the maintenance of its building programme. Not only have we to meet immediate requirements for defence, and .he normal demand for housing, but we must also look ahead for the provision of homes for men at present overseas when they return. “It is impossible to meet these demands out a substantial increase in the number of men employed on building construction, and it r for this reason that the Government has instituted a training scheme under the Dominion Auxiliary Workers’ Training Council for training carpenters for the building industry. It may be. necessary to extend this training to auxiliary trades. Arrangements are well in hand for the establishment of further training centres in the Hutt Valley, at Auckland, f.nd elsewhere. Applications are now being received for the Hutt Valley centre, and also for the second course at Miramar, which is due to start in about eight weeks.”
