TEN MEDFORD OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Seven-Pay Work Week Trend, disturbs Protestants-Catholics By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington IP) Once upon a time, you could tell when it wag Sunday because all the stores were closed. You could buy a newspaper or a bottle of medicine at the drug store. You might find a service station or a delicatessen open. But that was about it. Today, in thousands of Ameri can communities, it's as easy to go shopping on Sunday as on any other day. Hardware, furniture, and ap pliance stores advertise "all-day Sunday sales." Real estate bro kers and automobile dealers count Sunday as one of their best days. If you need a loaf of bread or a quart of milk to feed unexpected guests at Sun day dinner, you don't have to hunt around for a small delica tessen some supermarkets are open for business as usual. This trend toward a seven- day business week is profoundly disturbing to Protestant and Catholic religious leaders alike. Even liberal clergymen, who once endorsed the repeal of Blue Laws which forbade Sunday movies and baseball games, are concerned now about the extent to which the pendulum has swung in the other direction. Counter-Attack Pushed Belatedly, the churches are mounting a counter-attack. They are reading to a generation which has never memorized the 10 Commandments the ancient passage from the 20th chapter of Exodus: "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath cf the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work ..." An interesting aspect of both the Catholic and Protestant cam paigns is that they have been addressed primarily, not to the merchant who opens his store on Sunday, but to the customers who shop there. "Businessmen sell on Sundays only when there are customers," observed Samuel Cardinal Stritch of Chicago in a pastoral letter that "Sunday has been de graded to bargain day." He said the church has no ob jection to "the conduct of such business as is necessary for the public good and the safeguard ing of health." He said sale of medicines, the operation of res taurants and public transporta tion facilities, and a few other essential services fall into this category. Practice Unjustified "But there is no need or justi fication for the sale of .articles ch Sunday which can easily be purchased on weekdays. The convenient shopping hours in the evening provide an ample opportunity for shopping 'even to those completely occupied during the day." O'Boyle said one of the worst aspects of Sunday shopping is that those who practice it are "depriving sales people of the opportunity to observe Sunday fittingly." While most Catholic prelates so far have relied on the moral force of earnest appeals, Arch bishop Edward D. Howard of Portland, Ore., last month is sued a letter directly forbidding Catholics in his three-state province of Oregon, Idaho and Montana to work, conduct busi ness or shop on Sunday. The in struction is morally binding on all Catholics in the area, and vio GUARANTEED FINEST MAJOR GASOLINE Open 24 Hours" FEE PLUS 9 Other Prizes SEPT. 25 NEXT FREE FORD OCT, 30 Special!

Protestants have been moving in the same direction, both on lo cal and national levels. At the behest of the Washington Fed eration of Churches, Protestant pastors in the Capital have been urging their congregations not to patronize Sunday sales. De troit's Protestant Council of Churches, apparently proposing a weekday boycott of stores that stay open on Sunday, exhorted church members to "vote by your purchases for those busi nesses that do not unnecessarily stay open on Our Lord's day." Communities Alerted The Economic Life Depart ment of the National Council of Churches has proposed that Protestent churches throughout the nation join with "civic and other religious groups" to press My "Day Moscow After watching the changing of the guard at Lenin's tomb, we dined at our hotel, then visited a circus. This circus has only one ring, but the per formance is simply remarkable, and since spectators don't have to look three ways at once, it gives them an opportunity to watch each thing and appreciate it as it is done. The animals, trapeze work, clowns all were delightful, and the tickets, even in the expen sive sections where we sat, were far cheaper than for any such entertainment in the United States. This perhaps is all a part of the state's effort to make up for other things which now can not be obtained. The next morning Miss Mau reen Corr, my secretary, and I drove to a state farm 28 kilo metres away. We found the peo ple there anxious to talk about their efforts on the farm, which was a particularly good one, be ing devoted to the development of pedigreed stock, both milk ing cows and farming horses. I should explain that there are two kinds of farms in the Soviet Union state farms, where wages are paid to work ers, and collective farms. I haven's yet seen a collective farm, so I cannot tell you the difference until I ave more knowledge of it. On a state farm, every work er has a small plot of ground which he cultivates for himself. And if he grows more than he can use, he may sell the pro duce in the free market, where the state does not set the price except within certain limits. I think I'll have an interest ing account for you later, on this state farm and new hous ing for workers. I find that, in seeing what is being done in various fields of endeavor in a country like the U.S.S.R., it is interesting to keep in mind what one has seen in Japan, India or the Near East. One finds similarities and differences, of course. For instance, at the state farm we visited the cows are milked three times in 24 hours, while in the United States, I think, cows are milked only in the morning and evening. But I re member that at Kibbutz, in Is rael, the cows are milked three times a day, just as is done here and at almost the same hours. This is because the early settlers of Kibbutz came from the Soviet S. Riverside & S. Central "On the Point" TJ, 7? a tr TTnf-aiT At Friday, Sptmbr 13. 1957 for "community recognition of Sunday as a common day of re laxation from work." It said that this community recognition could be achieved "both through the enforcement of present laws and proposals for new ones." Every state except Nevada now has Sunday observance laws. Most of these laws limit Sunday business to "essential" services. For many years, these laws were rarely enforced. But there has been a movement in many areas lately to dust them off and even to tighten them. Recently, the New Jersey Su preme Court upheld the appli cation of such a law in a crack down on automobile dealers who stayed open on Sunday. Courts in Illinois, Connecticut and other states have also upheld Sunday closing statutes in the past year.

This is a holy city where there is a shrine, an old monastery, and two churches built in the 15th Century. One church is open all the time, with a continuous service carried on by the people. .The older women chant and still have unbeliev ably beautiful voices. This church, housing a saint's tomb, has a whole wall covered with beautiful icons, with the famous Trinity icon among them. Here also is a seminary and academy run by priests. The director was away, but the dean, who is a layman, invited us to lunch. . The midday meal here is a big one. They made apologies for the fact they didn't ' know we would be there at noontime and, therefore, had not made extra preparations. But we were some what surprised at what they served. Hors d'oeuvres came first, and there was so much we thought it was our whole lunch! Instead, it was followed by soup and meat, with potatoes and compote of fruit and tea. The hospitality and kindliness there were great, and they often spoke of my husband's name as being one they revere. The Greek Orthodox church is entire ly separate from the state and receives no state support. The patriarch administers funds for churches that need help, though generally each locality supports its own church. Education is also paid for by the patriarch, who furnishes the students with shelter, food and clothing while they are in the seminary or academy. The acad emy is an institution for a type of higher education which pre pares them for large city churches, where the seminary graduate can serve only small parishes. We were late leaving on our drive from Zagorsk to Moscow, which took fully an hour and 20 minutes. But we reached the city within five minutes of the time for our appointment at the Ministry of Education. This was our first drive through the countryside, and 1 was interested in observing the types of houses we passed. Many trucks were on the road, but generally were smaller than those we use in the U.S. Ambassador and Mrs. Llewel- Sly USE ANY MAJOR OIL CREDIT CARD AWARDED FROM FREE FORD TICKETS Fortune 1.69 with Gas Purchase 1.29 with Gas Purchase 39 and 10 Fortune Stamps 1.99 and 20 Fortune Stamps 9.70 and 50 Fortune Stamps 30.80 and 50 Fortune Stamps Feeding the Family By ZOLA Feed There's Lots of Good Eating in a Lamb West coasters like lamb. The 11 western states grow close to 50 per cent of all the lamb grown in the U.S.A. We also eat three times as much as oth ers. Many think only of leg of lamb and loin chops. This is to remind you that there's lots of other good eating in "a lamb and the other portions are likely to cost considerably less. For roasting. Choose a french ed or American leg of lamb, boneless sirloin, loin roast, bone less loin, rib, crown rib, square cut shoulder, cushion shoulder, rolled shoulder. You can also roast breast of lamb and rolled breast of lamb. Lamburger makes fine burgers and also a good loaf. Lamb is roasted on rack r open roasting pan. No water; no cover. Low heat and that means 300 degrees, allow ing 30 minutes per pound. , For Broiling, Frying. For broiling and for panfrying or panbroiling, there are sirloin chops, loin chops, rib chops, shoulder chops and patties. For Braising. Braising means cooking in water, usually after browning. Enjoy breast of lamb, neck slices, rolled riblets, stew meat, shanks. Lamb kebabs are usually one inch cubes cut from shoulder meat, leg of lamb or riblets. For rotisserie have meat man fix up a boned and rolled shoul der or leg of lamb. Reminders. Lamb should al ways be cooked at low tempera ture; means less shrinkage, more lamb and juicier, more tender meat. Lamb must be served either hot or cold; no namby pamby tepid lamb. And of course fresh mint sauce or mint jelly have long been the perfect com plement for lamb. Plum Marlow Delight Those tempting purple plums make a two tone symphony when combined with marshmal lows and whipping cream in this dessert delight. Six serv ings. Cut 16 marshmallows (one quarter pound package in pieces; fold in two cups sliced fresh plums or prunes and allow mix ture to stand one hour or until marshmallows soften. Whip one half pint whinping cream until stiff enough to hold its shape. Fold in one-quarter teaspoon pure vanilla: then fold cream into fruit. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Serve in chilled sherbet glasses or fancy sauce dishes. Handsome when topped with whipped cream and half a fresh plum. Green Peppers Get Stuffed With Perch Since nearly all ocean perch are marketed as frozen fillets, lyn E. Thompson kindly invited us to a reception with some of our press, as well as the foreign press, and, some diplomats. I have found here, of course, many people of the press and diplomatic corps whom I have met in other parts of the world. Some, in fact, were in Wash ington when we were there or at the United Nations head quarters in New York. To see a familiar face or to be reminded of even a distant meeting is al ways pleasant. One of the Americans at the reception reminded me of a meeting we had on a small island in the Pacific when we lunched together in the officers' mess, so one is constantly having brought to mind incidents that occurred in other places of the world. After our reception at the embassy, where all of us spent a delightful hour or more, we went directly to a ballet per formance of "Swan Lake." This was a beautiful performance lasting three hours, but much to my surprise, it didn't seem too long. As a rule, shorter perform ances seem to be quite enough for me where ballet is con cerned. v Not having had any dinner, we returned to the hotel for a light supper and then went to bed. E.R.

And as far as we're con cerned, no one has surpassed that masterpiece. But we can't have Caesar salad every day, so here's a new note in salad toss ing. Just add a handful or two of blue cheese crackers, the nibbling kind, to any mixed green salad. You'll like. Mystery Oranges Among Best Buy Orange growers are especially proud of this year's Valencias and like consumers are mar velling at nature's mysterious way of coloring oranges. Sea sons go by with orange coloring behaving in a normal fashion. Then comes a season like this one when mature oranges still hanging on trees start turning green again. This chameleon-like performance does not affect the sweet juicy content in the slight est degree. You can be very sure that if the orange is offered for sale, it has attained ripe perfec tion regardless of tint. Another thing you're likely to notice on some oranges is a slight scar caused by heavy winds blowing twigs across the oranges while they're growing. This does not affect interior quality. Small oranges are the best buy. Lemons and Grapefruit. Plen ty of thin-skinned juicy lemons and if some storage lemons have somewhat leathery skin you'll find them just as juice-full.
