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

lations become a matter for con
fession. 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"

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.

Union when it still was under
the regime of the czars.
From the state farm we went
toward Zagorsk. 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.

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.

we rarely see the . whole fish
which weighs from eight ounces
to three pounds. When cooked
the meat is white and flaky with
delicate flavor. Now that green
peppers are plentiful we suggest
serving green peppers stuffed
with ocean perch.
Thaw two pounds ocean perch
fillets. Skin and cut into half
inch pieces. Wash six large
green peppers, cut thin slice
from top of each and remove
seeds. Simmer peppers in boiling
salted water for 10 to 12 min
utes; drain. Fry one-half cup
diced bacon until crisp; add
three tablespoons chopped onion,
one-quarter cup chopped celery,
one-quarter cup chili sauce, salt,
pepper. Add fish. Simmer 10 min
utes or until fish flakes easily
with fork. Fill green pepper
with fish mixture. Combine two
tablespoons butter and one-half
cup dry bread crumbs; sprinkle
over pepper tops. Place in well
greased baking pan. Bake in
moderate, 350 degree oven, 20
to 25 minutes or until brown.
Six generous servings certain
of family enthusiasm.
Stuffed Franks
Frankfurters are an eternal
favorite with the young crowd.
Here we give them a zippy stuff
ing. They may be eaten as is
or in hotdog buns. Serve with
Cole slaw and supper's ready.
Fry four slices bacon until
crisp; remove from pan and drain
on absorbent paper. Saute one
half cup finely chopped onions,
one-half cup finely chopped
green pepper, one-quarter cup
finely chopped parsley in bacon
drippings until tender and light
ly browned. Add one-quarter
teaspoon rosemary, one can
cream of mushroom soup and
IVz cups finely rolled cracker
crumbs. Mix well. Split franks
lengthwise but not quite all the
way through. Fill with stuffing.
Sprinkle some remaining crumbs
and crumbled bacon on top. Bake
m hot oven, 425 degrees, 20
minutes.
Salad Croutons. We've been
putting croutons in salad ever
since the Caesar salad was in
vented. 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.
