ESSENTIAL WORK
MAKING OF CANISTERS
Adjournments sine die were granted by the. No. 4 Armed Forces Appeal Board in respect of two canister makers, Arthur Percival Dalley and John Knowles Clough. The appeals were made by their employers, J. Gadsden and Co., Ltd., and were supported by the Factory Controller, Mr. G. A. Pascoe, in a letter covering "claims for service by essential workers in the canister-making industry." The manager of the company (Mr. 'K. K. Watts) said that female workers jinade first-class press hands, but they were hard to get and took longer than males to train for fast production. The company already employed females on press work where fast production was not necessary. Production could hardly keep pace with the demand for containers if the skilled, fast male op3rators had to go into the Army. The chairman of the board (Mr. W. IF. Stilwell, S.M.) advised Mr. Watts Ito continue the training of female press operators, in view of the prosI pective requirements of man-power : for the forces.
Both reservists were directed to join the Home Guard in their districts.
