Prizes For N.Z. Cheese

WELLINGTON. Fri„ (P.A.u— New Zealand cheese factories have again had successes with their entries in the Dominion cheese class at the London Dairy show this week. The Minister of Agriculture (Mr Cullen) said last evening that the first prize in this class went to the Murray Bridge factory from South Australia, but that entries from New Zealand factories filled the remainder of the placings—Grcytown (Wairarapa). second; Awarua (Southland), third; Brvndonc (Southland), fourth, and Lochicl (Southland) very highly commended.

Mr Cullen said that, through the success of the Grcytown company Wairarapa retained the valuable silver Bledisloe Cup awarded to the district exhibiting the best New Zealand cheese and which was brought to the North Island for the first time last year as a result of a cheese exhibit from the Dalefield Dairy Co.. Competition in the Dominion class at the show was exceptionally keen, and the produce attracted considerable attention.

Fewer workers were injured on the job in the United States during 1948 than in the previous year, the U.S. Department of Labour reports. The rate in manufacturing industries dropped from 18.8 to 17.2 injuries per million man-hours worked. Decreases were reported for 15 non-manufacturing groups and 14 mining classifications.
