paper your stouffville bank wishes to as sure its customers that the de cision to remain closed on sat urdays does not represent a wish on its part to curtail its services to the public actually under the new arrangement of hours the bank will be open to the public two hours more each week than at present this is because it will remain open on wednesdays until 3 pm as compared with 1230 pm at present and on fridays in addition to the usual hours it will be open from 430 to q pm the rearrangement of hours is a development of the plan started by industry a number of years ago in the larger cities to give their employees satur day off since then it has spread as the result of pres sure from employees to gov ernment services to large stores and to mast lines of commer cial enterprise in the cities and towns and is now reaching out to the villages the banks were slow to fol low industry and did- so only when staff particularly girl members commenced to leave in such numbers that a
