To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In regard to the stores closing Sat
urdays during July and August, it
would be far better II the employees
were given Monday instead, in this
way giving the government clerks a
chance to do their shopping on Sat
urday afternoon, their half holiday.
The stores are crowded after office
hours during the week. Store pro-
prietors should give this matter a
thought.
