member of the canadian weekly newspaper aasoelatlon dtvd the ontario division of tha cwnla hornby changing pattern of business following georgetowns lead a nurnber of brampton stores have announced their intention of closing or aaonaays and dropping the former halfholiday which in bramptons case was rved- nesday it is the second time in recent years that georgetown has set a pattern which has become accepted practice in neighbouring towns we re call when merchants here decided to dose satur day nights irv favour of a friday opening a suc cessful experiment which now is the custom in a majority of ontario towns while it is still too early to say that the mon day dosing will become general indications are that locally at least the experiment has met with some success it is more complex than the satur day evening closing for in that case it was a prac tically unanimous decision in which merchants not covered by the by lav cast their lot with those bound by law to close monday closing has not been accepted by an important segment of the merchant population and one finds a double standard at present with certain classes of stores obliged to close such as grocers clothiers jewellers and furniture stores while the hardware and appliance stores stick to their former thursday half holiday both groups have their reasons and there seems to be no particular bitterness as was the case when fri day became open night it is all a sign of changing times in business where the labour situation has been hard hit by general adoption of a 5 day week in industry trie day seems to be gone when a person will work en extra half day in a store and most merchants who stick to the old system are using a stagger arranger ent for time off- one local dairy is also advarhing a change dropping milk deliveries on wednesdays to conform with a 5 day working weak changing hours indicate s radical shift in shopping habits in towns like ceordetown as little as a decade ago farmers whose business is of prime- importance to small town merchants made it a custom to come to town mainly on sat urday nights this combined shopping irip and social event has been ousted by labour saving farm equipment which teaves the rural business men more free hours it is only in more rustic sections of ontario that saturday is still the night to go to town at the same time the fact that a large number of town people no longer work on saturdays and trie continuing improvements in transportation make an exodus from town particularly in summer months which changes lo cal shopping habits too food merchants were once the main expon ents of keeping open as many hours as possible nowadays practically every householder has an electric refrigerator many have home freezers and most people are not inconvenienced by not being able to purchase food on any certain day mothing is static and the future will bring other changes retail business like everything else adapts itself to changing conditions we may someday see stores on a 4day week or we may see a return to two or three open nights a week if will depend on interrelated circumstan ces in all lines of commerce entertainment worth seeing locally and in toronto there are many enter tainment features at present which provide cjood family entertainment at the roxy theatre all this week hypnotist dr edwin heath is making showgoers chuckle as he put a group of subjects through their paces while hypnotism is a scientific subject it is far from dull and as practiced by men like dr heath it becomes a form of entertainment more naturally entertaining than any commercial am usement which can be devised we advise every one to take in one of the roxy shows and we guarantee you wont be disappointed in the city the ex of course is a mecca for those who consider a visit as necessary as a sat urday night bath this year the afternoon grand stand show is particularly worth seeing with the rlngling bros ftarnum bailey cigcus as the stel lar attraction aaovie and tv fans will want to see bob hope in person at the evening show a spectacular new feature at the ex however is the queen elizabeth building with its beautiful new theatre another toronto attraction worth seeing is my fur lady at the royal alexandra theatre it is the annual college show from aacgill univer sity which has played at stratford for several weeks while written and produced by amateurs it is just as professional in presentation as any broadway attraction and its delightful satire of canadian customs is clever returning to the local scene there is an af ter noon tea and band concert ir glen williams in september which will be worth attending opening of the new hornby comrpunity park also in september features a chicken barbecue which should ensure its success and of course georgetowns fair on october 5th looms nearer on the horizon and is a date to circle in your calendar jean peterson chosen for dairy queen semifinals miss jennie peterson won over four
