Frankly we think the idea has a great deal of merit to: there is no real reason why a store keeper taking the risks at his own business should not be re. lieved of the pressure for at least a couple of days a week. Even the man working on pro- duction line or swinging a pick has at least two days a week in Much to relax. The thing that is hard to understand with the present con- troversy is how council mem- hers got mixed up In it, Some- thing like 94 per cent of Water- loo merchants voted against Monday elosing UNLESS Kitch- ener merchants agreed to do the some thing. Peculiarly enougn while bene- fit to the help in these stores could be used as an argument for Monday closing, we have talked to a number of store clerks and have yet to find one that does not prefer Wednesday afternoon and Sunday rather than have Sunday and Monday. We do feel that those alder. men involved have jumped into this controversial subject with- out enough research. Evidently they have the opinion of a very small minority. Might be wise to check with the rest of the merchants before trying to push anything through. IHS. Us? WEEK'S STAILING SHOOT was the largest ever held in this city. While we were carrying far more shells in our car than normally expected we were cleaned out before the shoot even got underway. The last few car loads of shooters had to supply their own am~ munition. Following the shoot we have had only one complaint. this about blackbirds and in an area in which we had not been re quested to shoot. It can be as- sumed from this our gunners did a thorough job and thore will not be another shoot until such time as we receive enough com- plaints to warrant it. If you are being bothered by starlings or blackbirds call this column SH b5214. 1H5.

No doubt the children will be well taken care of fand their education once they reach school wilt be along the most approved lines. . Lacking in many children to- day is parental "dueaiion which could start and sfop with m- structions on how to behave when they are away from home.
