HALF-HOLIDAY QUESTION.
(To the Editor.) Sir.—Could you supplj’ the. cause’ which first moved tradespeople 6f Taranaki. ,’id agitate for the Saturday half : hoiiclay ? Their employment debilitates, and it. was reasoned out that they required a break .in the middle of the week, which they ob’taine’d. House holders, in general, which in this..case practically fefers to women, find their relaiaticn on Saturday when their children are’ free from school. In the of those. Hying, far out whose custom it is ’to bring' children to town at the finish of the week's farun work, their children will now be in about the same position as those living in the most remote backblocks. Even should they all have motor cars the majority would require to exceed the speed limit to make Saturday morning meet their needs.—l am, etc., TOWN DWELLER. Stratford, March 22, 1921.
