Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: When workers pour in and out of offices; stores and factories at the same times each working day the result is surging crowds of pedestrians and traffic congestion. Increasing use of staggered working hours by employers has helped relieve congested rush-hours. Reader Wilf Thomson would like use of staggered work hours increased.

      Working wives are taking over from happy little homemakers as the most influential force shaping retail operations and advertising, according to Toronto adman David Cravit. Women like Carol Anne Calderone, shown with Cravit, are forcing stores to extend hours and change times of clearance sales. Toronto supermarkets are already experimenting with late shopping hours.
