THURSDAY HALF-HOLIDAY.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—As a housewife, it .appeal's to mo that it . would bo a great mistake for the shopkeepers to close On: Saturday, for. as many workers are free on that day, and school-children also, it would necessarily be the most convenient shopping day ' for - many ' people. Again, it appears that in. any case the butchers, bakers and fruiterers will remain open, so why ■ close draperies, clothiers and boctshops? New Plymouth would, indeed look a dull place on Saturday nights with .only the shops that sell foodstuffs open, especially now we arc about to have trams. I cannot quite understand'who canwishto bring about the change, especially as the tradesmen themselves are so unanimously against it. Perhaps you will be good enough to inform me? —I am, etc., HOUSEWIFE.
