Leaving the railroad sheds he OBJ

attractive with its wide encircling We

distance gave the dignity of a lawn.

GAS COMPANY BRANCH OFFICE
TO BE CLOSED EVENINGS
DURING GUNNER MONTHS.

There are encouraging signs that
the good old adage, "Live and let
i've" is daily becoming more and
more noticeable in the treatment of
the working people by employers in
all lines Of industry. We are glad
to see that the gas company is closing
its branch stores summer evenings,
thus giving their clerks an equal
chance with the rest Of the commun-
ity 10 enjoy cool brsszss in parks or
on the pOrehes- Surely no one win
begrudge them this much needed re-
lief from the tedium Of the hot days.
The stores win be open again even
ings for the convenience Of the pub
lie after September 1st-
Many large institutions, the gas
company included, have also taken
advantage Of the fact that July 4th
comes on Friday this year: enabling
them to give the help a clear holiday
from Thursday night to Monday
morning. Very few people win be
in the least ineOnvenieneed by hav-
ing these places closed Saturday,
July 9Th. Our sympathies are all for
giving the clerks a much needed
holiday.
