IRRITATING WAR REGULATIONS
MAY BE REMOVED IN BRITAIN London, January 3. Several irritating war regulations which survived under the name of Dora, generally cartooned as an interfering old woman,” may be removed under the recommendation of a departmental committee, which favours the sale of ..cigarettes and tobacco in shops until 9.30 in the evening, instead of. 8 o’clock, also the sale of tobacco and. sweets in theatres, kinemas and publichouses, so long as they are open. The committee, however, recommends that the compulsory earlv closing of shops generally be embodied in permanent legislation.
SHOPKEEPERS CRITICISE RECOMMENDATIONS
(Rec. January 4, 8.20 p.m.)
London, January 4,
Shopkeepers criticise the “Dora” Committee's recommendations, on the ground that it would be unfair to permit sales of tobacco and sweets in theatres and elsewhere after the shops had closed. They argue that there is no reason why chocolates and cigarettes should not be purchased before 8 o’clock, like any other commodity.
