EASTER HOLIDAYS AND ANZAC DAY.
.;'■.. ■',' ■..''■•. [Tp' THB EDITOR.} , .;. '■. ' { l - ; :'' Sir ,—For some. * years \ past the retailers of Blenheim,'. and j their assistants have enjoyed a, real holiday at Easter 'lime, closing down their; places of business front- Thursday night 'intii Tuesday morning.' This year the business, people and public m general hav.iV been asked to pbserye v ,ia special holiday on Anisac l)ay, !■ which-■ happens to fiill on "[Easter ! Tuesday. From what I can gather, | two,or three retailers state that'if j they hayo to close on the-* Tuesday, i they will open on the Saturday. /■ ! The . tour-days-on-end 'loliday- at 'Raster has been most acceptable, amd it is a, pity that beoauso AnztiG J)ay happens,, to fall so near Easter -aiiyone rJionldj propose to exchange another 'lay for it. Let us observe Anzac Day :in a j>roper manlier, but there, is no reason, why. tho^e -wlib have ab'eody made their planft for tlio Easter -holiiliiys shoukl be thwarted l>ecau:sc> of the few referred to. I for one n<-i|>e ' that' ihe shops will closec'own «« usual. .'•.'.'. , ; ,
