Shearing Class

Before the war the class in shearing conducted by the Temuka Technical Association received full support, not only from those interested In learning to shear, but also from the farming community in the nrovision of facilities for the classes. With numbers of men returning from overseas, the Association is desirous of recommencing the class, and is making inquiries to that end. Since concessions as to fees are a "pilable to returned men. it is hoped that a sufficient number of them, with others in the district wishing to learn shearing, will be available to justify the resumption of the class, and that local farmers will co-operate as willingly as they have done in the past
