CORONATION DAY. . TO THB EDITOR. . Sir, — It is just sixty-five years since tin? British nation observed such a day. 1 trust in this city the coining day will ha- -•" spire that amount of patriotism which it» demands, and be free from that treatment meted to pome of our factory girls by some loyal employers on the occasion of the peace proclamation and Prince of Wales's Birthday. Does the -Coronation Day come / in as a' special statutory holiday, or are those who can ill-afford to receive a reduction similar to that which was made for "the peace proclamation and Prince of. Waless Birthday!'? Will you enlighten many wishing t£ know, so that we may learn "where true patriotism lies"^— l am, : etc., : W. H. OAQOMBE. ; (Coronation Day is not a statutory hblidaj! ,;■ under, the Act.— Editor "Star. )
