“We consider it necessary to retain men with cheese factory experience,” said Mr W. Y. Kirkman, superintendent of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, Limited, during the hearing of appeals for two cheese factory workers before the No. 2 Armed i Forces Appeal Board at Hamilton on Monday. “Two shifts will be worked at the Manawaru factory, and we estimate the output of cheese to be 2185 tons,” Mr Kirkman continued. “At the Waitoa milk powder factory we are finding great difficulty in maintaining staff. Milk is received twice daily in large quantities, and during the middle of the season w r e shall receive more than 500,0001 b of milk each day. In addition to the milk powder, we are manufacturing at this centre whole milk powder, which is being supplied to the transports and is added to the biscuits for troops overseas. Baby food and malted milk for schools are also I manufactured.”
