Certainly it is not to injure the influence of the Retail Council of the Chamber of Commerce! Far from it. That organization is much too valuable a part of our civic life for that and has rendered service, useful alike to buyer and seller and deserves only commendation and praise, and it is the writers sincere hope that President Weaver, of the Chamber of Commerce, will not accept its resignation. Then what is the motive? It is The world war has brought into being a new era in our social ordee.

Humanity has had a new and ideas which have been lying dormant in mens minds for years are now bursting into Every man and woman regardless of their possessions should work and contribute to the public welfare, but it should not be necessary, in order to make a living, for any human being to work both day and NIGHT. Our lives should be reordered, and our days divided into thre equal periods of work, play and rest and the closing of the stores Saturday night is a step towards realizing this idea. We should remember that men do not live only to work but that work, honorable though it is, is simply the means to an end. We be brnkep regardlessly, then, why not compromise by giving a whole days outing, carrying out uniformity of purpose and continuing former relationship? On the other hand, a half holiday does not permit one to go very far. and then it must be in the hottest part of the day as to the few hours on Saturday night what Can ons do after getting away from duty perhaps 1 at 6:15 to 6:30 and.

most likely, will be 7:30 before finishing supper? When I wrote ray article on Monday I did net know that the Council representing the retail interests were to meet that night, hut I took it upon myself after they were in session to telephone a suggestion that in the event of a lack of uniformity, that the matter, "An all day- (Friday). holiday or half-day (Friday) and closing at 6 Saturday" be recommended for decision by the salespeople themselves. I was since told that the matter was laid aside and instead, as Is now. too well known, the Council (brew all Its past accomplishments to the winds and resigned in a stormy mood. This is Indeed to be regretted -It surely was a bit hasty and it isnt too late to Most.

of the merchants want to be fair they give a two-weeks vacation period with one week's pay they do not object to an additional holiday weekly throughout July and August and the extra half-hour each day. Thus, it seems to me, a genaral meeting might be called for the purpose of putting it up to the. clerk a themselves to decide, which they prefer, rather than to be asked to take what a few merchants decide to give them.

At that time the retailers felt the step proposed was too great, but I sincerely hope that by now our merchants can see the desirability of making this A Clerks Viewpoint.
