ANZAC DAY.
Sir-Is it not time to drop Anzac Day quietly from our Calendar? Since it is no longer seriously observed, I can see no advantage in observing it at all, and some disadvantages, Holy days, like other holy things, should not be treated with contempt. All we achieve by keeping the day in the Calendar is to give ourselves a miserable excuse for another holiday.
