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.

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 Brunswick Hotel. Served from 12 to 1,30 and 5 to 6.30.
