PAGE 2, WHITBY FREE PRESS, THURSDAY JUNE 7, 1973 ~ etters to the Editor Dear Sir: Re: Sunday and Holiday Re- tailing. Today's consumer is cut- ting bis own throat by pres- suring retailers to extend st- ore hours to include Sunday, holidays and every evening. On the one hand consum- ers cry because prices are increasing. Yet they don't stop to consider that they are causing prices to increase by requesting longer store b- ours. Extended store hours do flot usually increase sales and profits, but the costs to ruti the operaion, je: pay- roll, ligt, heat, maintenance etc., certainly do increase. In fact, the costs increase at a greater rate titan normal be- cause stores often must pay employees overtime. Con- sequently, thie conisumer will be required to pay increased prices "ail week" to SLIbsid- ize thiese "extra costs." Another thing that should be considered is the present store lours. 1-1w lopng are stores really openi? Most st- ores average betwie-' 60-70 Now in O shawa 3usinessmen. requiring term loans for sound busi- ess purposes and who are unable ta abtaîn financial ssistance from ather sources on reasonable terms nd conditions are invited ta discuss their needs at he 1DB office recently opened in Oshawa . ..

Thus, everyone bias access to stores for at least "20 lîours" per week. How many people really need 20 hours a week to shop? Another factor that sho- uid be considered is the wel- fare of the retail employees. For many. Sunday is the only day off;, for others they are obliged to take a day off during tbe week. 1 dare you to ask a retail emiployee when tlhey lastI bad a "week- end or bioliday" with bis or ier family.
