ANZAC DAY.
OBSERVANCE IN SYDNEY,
CARE OF SOLDIERS' GRAVES,
SYDNEY, April 21
One of the functions on Anzac Day will be the tending of the graves of soldiers throughout the State who have died here. Hitherto this duty has been somewhat neglected. Complete lists have been tabulated, and prior to Anzac Day an effort will be made to place the graves in good order. The Soldiers' Wives ana Mothers' Association is being assisted in the work by members of the Young People's Societies connected with the churches, who will also take part in placing garlands on the graves on Anniversary Day.—(A. and N.SC. Cable.)
BEAITOTACTTrRERS' VIEW. MELBOURNE, April 21. Although Ansae Day has been proclaimed a public holiday throughout Australia, the Victorian Chamber of Manufacturers has taken the remarkable step of urging manufacturers in the State to keep their factories open and not 'observe the holiday. This action is explained in » circular issued by the Chamber, in which it states that it thinks the anniversary of the landing should be observed with reverence, and the Chamber fears that a public holiday each year will in time degenerate into an ordinary holiday.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
