Poor Response
The response to a recent drive to recruit men had been singularly unsuccessful, said the transmission-line engineer of the Electricity Department in Christchurch (Mr P. E. Dunn). Repeated advertisements during the last three weeks had led four or five men to apply for jobs building power lines. “We employed three men, two stayed for one day and the third for one week," he said. Partly because of the shortage of labour in Christchurch the department had decided to transfer some of its staff from Palmerston North to help to build new transmission lines between Twizei and Cromwell.
