“LEAVE NO MILK”

HOW TO DEAL WU.|l NON-PAYERS UNDER ZONING SCHEME (United Press Association] WELLINGTON, 10th December. The simplicity of dealing with nonpayers in the zoned milk supply was apparent when Mr Martin Luckie, Chairman of the Wellington Manpower Committee, asked a vendor his position when he made bad debts through not being able to choose his own customer. “There is only one way,” said the vendor, “don't leave any more milk and let them walk to the nearest dairy. They soon get tired of it.” LONG HOURS FOR FISHERMEN The extraordinarily long hour worked by fishermen appear from another case before the committee. A skipper said he and his associate worked 18 hours a day. “This last month we have been out 29 times,” he said. “It is never under 14 hours each trip and we always start getting things ready an hour or two before we sail.” Mr Luckie: “I am surprised how you can do with so little sleep.” Appellant: “We are sort c" used to it. We have been brought up to it.” Appellant also mentioned that all his crew was of British nationality. They landed £9OO worth of fish last month. Mr Luckie: “I reckon you earn all you get.” The case was adojurned sine die.
