AXES FOR FORESTERS. (P.A.) AUCKLAND, July 15. S ; x match axes have been forwarded to the New Zealand Forestry Corps in England for use in chopping competitions with Canadian and Australian axemen. The secretary of the New Zealand Timber Workers’
Union (Mr F. Craig), said to-day that a letter received from Corporal Devereaux, former!” secretary of the I Owhango Axemen’s Association, i stated that the defeat of New Zeai landers in chopping contests was because they had to use axes to which they were not accustomed. The National Council of the Union, at its last meeting, inaugurated a subscrintion, and a business firm had forwarded the axes freight free. Mr Crai~ said the Un’on members were confident that when the New Zealand axemen received the axes, they would be successful in the chopping events. ,
