SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY.

L. M. Isitt, Ltd., bookseller and stationer, Christchurch, says;—-“We have absolutely no opposition to this movement in Christchurch. As regards the late night on Friday, 1 am a little more radical than most of the other firms in Christchurch, and am of the opinion that it could bo cut out without interfering with the business. At any rate there is no need for the late night to be later than 8 o’clock. The Saturday half-holiday has never interfered with business in any respect.”

In past years tho local Returned Soldiers’ Association has made a feature of the Anzac Day sacrod concert. Arrangements have been made for the Wellington commercial travellers’ quartette to be present. this year, and with the assistance of local talent an exceptionally fine, programme is assured.
