CARPENTERING TRADE.
TOO MANY APPRENTICES. POSITION IN CHRISTCHURCH. [BY TELEGRAPH, —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. "There are more applications for apprenticeships to the building trade at the present time than can be coped with." an official of the Trades Hall remarked to-day. "This is not surprising when it is realised that excellent . wages are offered to good men in the trade and, consequently, of all the trades, that of carpenter is most sought after by youths." Continuing, he said that since the passing of the Apprentices Act in 1923 there had been a keener desire by boys after leaving school to take up somo useful trade. This was very marked during the last 12 months. When the bill was dis cussed it brought home to many young men the futility of following "blind alley" occupations. The parents, too, must have taken notice of the discussion and urged their children to take up a useful trade.
