11l order to relievo employers and officers of the Department of Labour ol’ unnecessary work in compiling the statistics of journeymen in cases where it is clear that a district quota ii> not- nearly full, an amendment to the Apprentices’ Act, 1923, has been filed in the Arbitration Court, to take effect from January 2d. The amendment is to the effect that no employer shall be required to furnish a return of the number of journeymen employed by him unless the district- registrar or court requires him in writing so to do. It shall be the duty of the, district registrar to require employers to furnish, returns" if and when it- appears to him that the number of apprentices in a district exceeds 90 per cent of the quota permitted. The amendment also enables returns, if required. to be called for at a. date more convenient than March 31. It is thought that November 30. which approximates the. close of the school voar. when numbers of lads arc seeking apprenticeships, will be a, more -suitable date at wuioli. to call loi the returns.

Foote, of Hokitika, who was i'n C'ii list church recently, told a reporter there that he had had thirty-al' years’ experience of West Coast ravers from Grey mouth i-southwards. and never had .seen them in better condition than ■at present in regard to whitebait About- 12d fishermen were -supplying the two whitebait factories in Hokitika. and large quantities of the fish now were being sent to Christchurch. As long as the rive tvs. were kept clear from the pollution caused by kawdu st from mills, the industry would increase enormously, and "would prosper, but if that form of pollution-was. >k.l lowed, the imlustrv .simply -would be wiped out. Hie suggested that, if there w-a,s an open seasoii from September 1 to December 7. the fish would have June. July '.and August- to run, which would be- quite sufficient. GOOD IDEAS MEAN MONEY.
