He was found dead in his Dundas street west garage by his wife, Dorothy, last Thursday. His overalls were almost burned off his body below the waist. It i9 believed he bent over the small stove in the garage to light a piece of paper, and heat from the stove ignited his oil and gasoline soaked overalls. A filled pipe and tobacco pouch lay near- his body and a piece of charred paper was still clutched in his hand. Mr. McKenzie -operated the first garage in Dungannon and resided in that district for 30 years. He is survived by his wife, ,the' former Dorothy Webster, a native of St. Helens; his aged _mother, .

The Listowel Banner discusses the subject and deals with condi- tions in that town ,which are not unlike those to be found in other Western Ontario municipalities. Says The Listowel Banner: It was gratifying on Saturday to find unanimity among local merch- ants with regards to closing stores shortly after six o'clock. The sug- gestion is not haat this is the policy which should he followed but rather that when a decision is reached by their organization it should be accepted and supported by all. Too many times the op- posite holds true Always a few ignore the decision and confusion results. And it may be quite pos- sible these few who prefer to .set their hoursI own tor closing have never found- it piof1table:. Due to two different groups wtrirh apps ed -''to advocate differ- ent policies there seemed to be some doubt if unifo-m closing would result. Tae Retail Merch- ants Division of the Chamber of Commerce, the governing body of retailers, decided at an annual meeting in October to close every night of the week during January ,and February. This decision was countermanded at subsequent meetings of the merchants' Ap- preciation Day Commit -tee. Neutral observers gained the impression that the differences be- tween the groups did not .stem from friction between them but re'ulted from merely foliowing sue;.,restions put forth at the mo- ment. Naturally the suggestions came from different exponents. As a matter-of-fact, with few excep- tions, the same merchants made up the attendance of meeting-; call- ed by 'both groups. Most regrettable, hc•wever, was the small representation at any of the meeting's. It is difficult to un- derstand why businessmen will not attend these sessions which are called eo determine policies of vital interest to them. Through only the fault of those who fail to attend, the majority is being governed by the few. As far as Saturday night c:using is concern- ed it is -doubtful if anyone will suffer. Business 'daces in general found little need of remaining open on Saturday n winter months of recent years. When the ques- tion of- switching from Saturday night to Friday night opening comes up for d,scussion as pro mised later this mdnth it is an entirely different matter and one which calls for expressions 'of op tt ions of all business places. There are too many groups 'set- ting their own policies and this practice is not goad for business in general: Barbers, for instanee, please to ignore the major division set-up by the Chamber of Com- merce. Druggists seem to be fall- ing in line by holding their own their closing hour._. Grecers, often in past, did the same. Just why these groups do these things is almost unanswerable. After all they are all dealing in the same commodity --service to the public. The barber 'cuts the hair of the person who buys drugs, patronizes the grocer and spends money on.clothes or furniture or hardware. Obviously ;the customer would be much happier if he KNEW there was one standard hour when all types of business closed. The independent decisions of thest contained groups' suggest an odor of selfishness. Their actions tend to injure business in general for there is nothing which will pro- duce the effect of dissatisfaction more among town or rural people than by having open disagreement among businessmen. It is to be hoped that at the forthcoming meetirr , and, all utun , ,arses, all types of �busines will be repre- L,scn,ted:. - in-. nowt 1 y . n unrs.:.
