SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY.
A movement is being made in the northern portion of the Taraaiaki district to secure -the observance of Saturday as the weekly half-holiday.' A similar movement is afoot in other parts of the Dominion, and in some of the large centres, notably in Wellington, there is a growing feeling that the half-and-half system, which provides a holiday for one section of the community in the middle of the ■week, and for another 011 Saturdays, is wrong. It is just a question whether tradesmen themselves would not favour the national observance of Saturday as the half-holiday. From; present indications, the time is not far distant when the Legislature will fix the holiday, and it is safe to assume that Saturday will be the day selected.
