Monday Considered
As Statutory Holidays
Parliament may consider establish-
ing Monday as the celebration day for
most statutory holidays, Exceptions
would be Christmas, New Year's and
religious holidays like Good Friday.
Purpose of such legislation would
be to avoid the confusion experienced
this year, for example, by business
firms when Victoria Day, May 24th,
fell on a Tuesday and many workers
took Monday off as well. July 1, Dom-
inion Day fell on a Friday and many
were absent from work Saturday.
Holidays would be celebrated ott
the Monday closest to their actual
date. If the change is made, it will pro-
bably not come into effect before 1951
since many calendars for 1950 are
already printed.
Sunday Dinner At
