Illegal on a Saturday
PA Auckland The art world has come under the scrutiny of the Labour Department for possible Saturday trading. The show of the New Zealand Fellowship of Artists on Saturday at Mission Bay was visited by a departmental officer who told Mrs J. I. Clarke, the fellowship’s secretary, that she was illegally selling on a Saturday. Mrs Clarke said orders
were taken for paintings displayed, but the paintings were not sold. For the last 10 years the fellowship has been granted permission by the Auckland City Council to hold the annual show. “He did not order the show closed, but just told me I was breaking the law and would probably be prosecuted because of it,” said a bewildered Mrs Clarke. “It’s just so silly. If I’m fined I would rather go to jail than pay.”
