The experiment of opening Fri-
day ir.tights for slanpping in Clinton,
being carried out with remarl -
seble degree of salccess. According
to the Retail Merchants Committee
eti the Chamber of Commerce, the
change to Friday night
shopreceping

ved
by the 5�Il(➢Dii� public.
Spokesman for the committee
Mates that if the past two Friday
nights may be taken as an indica-
tion of what Friday night shopping
Can be in the Town of Clinton,
then he feels that Tboth bbusiness-
men men and. the shopping Public
follow the modern day trend to
shopping on that night.
A survey taken of various places
of business, shows that many of
the stores in Clinton are doing
more and better business on Friday
evenings than they have done Sat-
urday evenings during the past
two years.
Independently of the retail mer-
chants committee, T. J. Riley,
grocer, has carried out a survey of
his to discover Wheh of the
town's businessmen plan o be
open on Saturday night. His sur-
vey results are published in this
paper. It is noted that those plan-
ning to remain open on Saturday
(though what they plan to do
Friday night is not too clear) in-
cludes six barbershops, six gar-
ages, four farm suppliers, two p
rooms, five,. _gresei'le.s,...4..two cab
stands, two lunch places, and one
retail store (claiming neutrality),
as well as a miscellany of 11 retail
merchants.
Twelve of these 39 are busi-
nesses which are open six nights
a week. The six barbers have
their open night set by by-law, and
since they included Saturday night
in an earlier arrangement, they
plan to continue with this night
to stay penen. tSaturday firms arenights.ning
However, the rest of the busi-
ness firms (including the majority
of those also planning to remain
open Saturdays) will continue to
be open for business until ten
o'clock on Friday nights.

ing committee, represented by

Seaforth was erected at a cost of
$22,000;' -He estimated a two lane
rink, built between the west side
of the arena and the race track,

saw no reason why a curling rink

Arena and Recreation Committee,
which would, in turn, approach the
I council. .

posed of Howard Heath, Joe Al-
laire, Art Waters and Alex Alex-

ing. The Legion Ladies Auxiliary
