Actually, its inâ€" clusion among federally declared statutory holidays imâ€" poses no obligation or even a request for its general obâ€" servance as a full holiday, Nor would a provincial or municipal proclamation. _ _ _ /‘ â€" A good deal of difference of opinion and confusion in practice has arisen over whether Remembrance Day should be observed on November 11 as a full holiday, with general closing of business and industrial establishâ€" ments. In view of the solemn, sacred nature of the occaâ€" sion and the purpose of its observance, it would seem highly desirable to end this confusion. It should not be difficult to work out a generally acceptable plan of proâ€" cedure that would be uniformly followed in future years. Proclamation of any day as a statutory holiday merely recognizes it as such for legal or contractual purâ€" poses, permits closing of the banks without violation of the Bills of Exchange Act, and sanctions closing of the schools, courts, and of federal, provincial and municipal government offices. Any inclusive, general observance of ,@ iday is not a matter of legal compulsion but of estgblished custom and common agreement.. | r[*The manner in which Remembrance Day was reâ€" centtly observed, with holiday closing limited to banks, courts, schools and government offices, was in accordâ€" ance with the pattern which prevailed by general consent across the country between the two wars. During the war, recognition and observance of statutory holidays was restricted by orderâ€"inâ€"council to five or six, in the interest of sustained, efficient and expanding war proâ€" duction. But after the war ended in 1945, repeal of the orderâ€"inâ€"council restored November 11 and other susâ€" ge?(‘iied observances to their preâ€"war status as statutory olidays. Coâ€"ordination j Those who favor a full Remembrance Day holiday point out that it seems to have been generally adopted as an established, logical day on which to pay tribute to the dead of both world wars. They argue that it should thereâ€" fore be a major national observance wtih all business closed down in reverent memory of the sacrifices of the fallen. Against this is the danger that it would become in every sense of the word a holiday, rather than a solemn day of remembrance, with most citizens using it not as a day of quiet consecration but merely as an extra day of leisure and recreation. One alternative that has been suggested would be to set aside the Sunday proceding November 11 each year as a day for solemn memorial observance by the general population and for special church services, while still recognizing Remembrance Day itself as a statutory holiâ€" day and the date for official services of anniversary tribute. But the important thing is that whatever is agreed upon, perhaps by consultation between business, labor, church and government bodies, shall be widely understood and fully implemented by virtue of general acceptability.
