APPRENTICESHIP NEEDS
ENGINEERING TRADE (0.C.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Thursday Adherence to the peace-time regulation that there should not be more than one apprentice to each journeyman in the engineering trade was forcing youths into occupations for which they were not trained, said Mr. H. F. Vosseler at a meeting of the Stratford Chamber of Commerce. The natural absorption of engineers by shipping and industries and the demand for their services by the Army was causing a shortage of journeymen, which was reflected by a reduction in the number of apprenticeship vacancies. "At no time have we had a surplus of trained engineers," said Mr. Vosseler. ''The result is that firnis are unable under existing conditions to maintain the correct balance between apprentices and journeymen."
