In these days of keener competi- tion, it is questionable as to whether the merchants should continue to cut down the number of hours in which they remain open to do business. The T. Eaton Co., are finding out that tinue any longer, as much of their trade was being done by some other store that was willing to remain open. Consequently this big department store not far from Stouffville has in- timated that it will remain open all day Saturday this coming spymmer. In a town like Stouffville, if the merchants were so minded they could give their clerks a whole day of each week throughout the summer months by working out a systematic arrange- ment so that only one should be ab- sent from business at 4 time. By this method employees would be satisfied and at the same time the general pub- lic served more adequately. As. matters stand now, some stores will be open next week, while others will be closed on Wednesday, but so long as some places remain open to serve the public there should be no dissatisfaction aroused. The stores are open Tuesday, Thursday and Sat- urday evenings as well. rn Ai -- MAKING A UNIVERSE An incident which is related of an Miss Ila Reader is home from To-J last Wednesday, but some stores inf their Saturday holiday cannot con-|.

Ap- parently the pavement has been badly cut up by heavy trucks and other ponderous vehicles and holes are quite numerous. Persons unfamiliar with the road, who attempt to drive at night must find this stretch difficult as one never knows when the car will traverse a hole, causing vehicle and occupants to receive a severe jolt. The unusually wet spring weather and the thaws wihch followed the winter season were undoubtedly fac- tors which have contributed to the conditions of the road. During the last two months all trucks have been limited to half-sized loads and under ordinary circumstances the roads should have withstood the weight of traffic. The abundance of moisture, however, weakened the roadbed and as a result the pavement has given away at several points, ~The Kingston road is one of the oldest thoroughfares in Ontario as it connected York, Kingston and inter- mediate towns at a time when Ontario was known as Upper Canada and the stage coach and sailing vessels 'were the chief media of transportation. With the coming of the automobile and the increase in motor traffic the Kingston highway was included in the provincial system and was paved several years -ago:- Since that time | it has borne tremendous trafic and is now. beginning to-show. the strain from repeated Wear and tear KINGSTON
