those who dont drive it will be an inconvenience The farmer doesnt like to break his work week rjj We agree with Dairy Far mer she continued During the summer months the men are working late wouldnt want to stop to go into town on Friday night and have to starti back at haying or other jobs on Saturday It has been a habit for some time for many rural families to go into town on a Saturday night It is the end of the week and the lime relaxation But if it comes to they will do it It will just take time Its long overdue was the opinion of a Newmarket rest- dent She said that she did not shop on Saturday nights but certainly would shop on Friday nights if the stores were open then Ive wondered why New market merchants havent tried it before It works in and in other Anything that contributes to the pleasure of working people should be considered sold an other Newmarket housewife could shop on Friday night is easily as on Saturday and Im certain we in town can do it Anyone interested in
