SHOPS REOPEN
CELEBRATIONS AFTERMATH Reluctance to return to the scenes of their labour after two days’ celebrations was apparent among many workers this morning, when bright sunshine prevailed early. Victoria Street bore little evidence of the junketing that took place yesterday and on Wednesday and the street I tfleaners : had successfully disposed of the confetti, streamers and other debris which had been scattered in all directions. However, strips of bunting and the flags of the United Nations remained fluttering above. No bread was baked for delivery today and housewives will be required to make their stocks last until they can replenish them tomorrow. However, they were able to restock their larders with other forms of foodstuffs. Yesterday found almost all shops closed. Exceptions were dairies and restaurants, which were called upon to undergo a steady trade.
