A TRADE INTRICACY
THE MYSTERY OF CABINETMAKING ? The intricacies associated with the cabinet-making trade were explored this morning by the Crown representative (Mr A. N. Haggitt) during the hearing of tin appeal before the No. 2 Armed Forces Board for the release of a grade I. reservist, a cabinetmaker, from mili T tary service. The co-appellant company, through their working manager, when giving details of the staff employed, said that they had a chairmaker, but a chairmaker cotild not do cabinetmaking. When explaining just what a chairmaker's duties consisted of, it was said that he served fi\ r> years' apprenticeship at the making of chair frames. He was absolutely incompetent to do cabinetinaking. Mr Haggitt: A chairmaker could 1 make a, table, and that is considered cabinetmakers' work, is it not? Co-appellant: Yes, but it would take him a long time. It is something foreign to his training. The various products and associated operations in their production which went towards the making of the cabinetmaker were then detailed. The chairman (Mr J. R. Bartholomew, S.M.) : There is no need to make a mystery about this business. The appeal was dismissed.
