REHABILITATION METHODS
"So far as getting men back into industry and business is concerned," stated Mr M. H. Oram in an address to electors at Feilding last evening, "if men can be trained in a few short months to handle the intricate instruments and mechanism of war and to kill and destroy, they can similarly be taught in a reasonably short space of time by means of intensive vocational training to build up and create. The building trade alone, which is the key industry, to supply the shortage of 70,000 houses which exists at the present time, could employ 25,000 men for 10 years, and this in turn would bring in many related trades, all employing a large amount of labour."
