That thecommittee en: uire of the merchants to see )w they feel about opening n Thursday night rather than U. urday night and the committee find out how the merchants feel about closing their stores on Monday rather than Wednesday afternoon. The opening and closing issue brought before the members led to a two hour discussion with many â€" Suggestions for and against the issue. Reg Saalmans _ maintained that the trend of shopping is to Thursday nights and not Saturâ€" day nights as people are leaving the city during the weekâ€"end. He said that because other shopâ€" ping centres are open on Thursâ€" day night it was doing Weston no good to stay closed. Many members were of the opinion that there was a bylaw stipulating that the stores be elosed at 6 p.m. until Councillor Bert Wood called the town ofâ€" fice to learn that the bylaw regâ€" ulating closing time states that stores may stay open fromPany time in the morning until 9 p.m. at night except Wednesday when stores close at noon hour. One merchant said that 25 years ago he stayed open every hour he possibly could. It was felt that in order to have the Thursday night store opening it would have to be known by the shoppers. _ It was suggested that the John Street parking lot be opened with a monster street dance and Carnival with the possibility of raffling off a cottage. In this way the Association could pubâ€" licise the opening of the lots and acquaint the residents of the 5 Weston Area Radio ‘Hams‘ Receive Awards For Service "There is no use of some peoâ€" ple being open on Thursday eveâ€" ning and others being open on Saturday evening," one merâ€" chant said.
