Trading in the local retail stores
in advance of the holidays has been
surprisingly light for the past two
days. it is reported. but started to
break records today with a last min-
nte’ rush. Even those householders
who serve no special meals on the
holiday must stock upon for a full
two‘ day" weeksend becausea majdrl-
iy of stores chose tomorrow. Those
that class are remaining open in
most cases to 9 o'clock tonight or
later. to make up for the time out.
