“Mod cons” for the shearers
A smart, new kitchen, with all “mod cons”, has built beside the woolshed at Orari Gorge station in South-Canterbury. In addition, new flush toilets — for men and women — have been Installed. The new facilities drew very favourable comment when a cattlemen’s field day was held on the property last week.
The kitchen has been been built beside the woolroom, and is separated from it by a sliding door. Earlier this year the Labour Department drew up a list of requirements for shearing sheds. These include having hot water laid on, and the provision of room for meals separate from the shed.
