We are informed by " Employe "in a letter in our correspondence column that rumours are afloat that certain tradesmen are trying to do away with the Wednesday half-holiday. Seeing that it is now a recognised thing in all the principal towns in the colony, we trust Feilding will not be the first to kick over the traces and break up this institution, surely the storekeepers will not begrudge their assistants a few hours once a week seeing that they have longer days and more confinement than any other people. We think it is good for the principals themselves to have a run out away from the worry of business once a week. The old adage may then be applied " what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. "
