The majority voted to remain open on Monday as usual, and It is expected most will fall in line with that decision, All retail outlets will be closed all day Saturday for the statutory Dominion Day holiday. The problem doesn't arise for Hensall merchants. They normal- ly close Monday and report they plan to follow the procedure this week.
