dancing was enjoyed in the open air
dance hall on the field.
In speaking of the Wednesday at-
ternoon closing and the reason for it
Mr. J. Emory Stevens said:
"In most lines offiwork. the am-
ployecs work from 8 'or ‘ 9 in the
morning until 4:80 or 5 at night with
Saturday afternoons off. In a retail
business such as this. the employees
work from 7 in the morning until
ii at night and 10 o'clock on Bat~
urday nights.
“Do not they deserve a half holi-
day at least once a week? And the
logical day is Wednesday.
“We feel that the employees in
our stores and the office help in our
retail stores deserve this holiday for
the service and the length of hours
they give to the public.
"This Wednesday half holiday
idea is one to which I have looked
fopward for a number of years, and
now it ‘bns actually come to pass.
"It gives the employees a fair deal
and I think that all of us are the
better for it. What is more. I am
sure that the public, each and every
person. is firmly back of the propo-
sition."
