For years Canada has celebrated Qucen Victoria's birthday—May 24, a holiday. But a change may be in the offing. There still will be a statutory holiday, but not always on May 24. The House of Commons, after a lot of arguing and amending, Tues- day agreed in prtneiple.to a bill that Canada should celebrate Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 24, effective in 1953. Next year May 24 falls on a Sun- day. Should the measure become effective, it would make Monday, May 18, 1953, a holiday. Every- thing would be fine in 1954 when May 24 falls on a Monday. This possibility came about as a result of a bill introduced by J. L, MacDougall (L., Vancouver - Burs- rard). In the original form the bill also would have changed celebra- tion of Dominion Day from July 1 to the first Monday following that. day,. However, E. D. Fulton (P.C., Kamloops') objected to this. He thought celebration of a significant date such as the day Canada 'be- came a nation should not be changed so people could have:a.a. long week -end. - The measure would ;have cele- brated Victoria Day on the 'Mendey immediately following May 24. But Gordon 'Graydon (P. C., Peel), thought this was too close to Juno 9, when Canada will celebrate the birth of Queen Elizabeth.. He moved, and 'his emendnnent wait accepted, that Victoria Day be celebrated on the Monday preced--. ing May 24, even, though it wounds, move the celebration a week ashead of May 2.4 next year, ' The House agreed to 1. eh � :ee and a xne" ur" ang the 5,H„r,ea second reading T oWOo boa postponedfinaY i�e0,dit� later, 'Even if it” gel$ !rt thy'( ,;Cotttit110na it gl elf' to and the ne ;: bOtoxe b24titfiing li ti td ,cit•,, rf r, e?,� �h�; 1 SnS��
