SOLDIER LOOKING FOR A JOB.
WELLINGTON, July 20. ”1 met a man back from the Pacific yesterday who is roaming the countryside at the request of a manpower officer looking for a job,” said the chairman of the Hutt Valley Electric Power Board (Mr J. W. Andrews) when the Board to-day discussed manpower problems.
“I am perfectly satisfied that this information is correct,” said Mr Andrews. 44 1 am afraid, also, that ther© are men in the Pacific who are putting their names down on list circulated by the militarf authorities for jobs for which they are totally unfitted.” The Board’s engineer and general manager (Mr E. F. Hollands) reminded members that two of the Board’s cic.ks had been directed to the building industry. “Yesterday,” he added, “I found that our storekeeper, a man whose services- we badly needed, is back from the Pacific and directed to railway construction work.”
