methods.

stores handling groceries, meats, bak-
cry goods, delicatessen, dairy or farm
products will close on Sundays, and
after 9 o'clock on Saturdays and .
O'Clock other days of the week and
holidays.
This ruling does not include shops
in which ice creams, candy. and fresh

gasoline and oil is the feeling of high
state food officials.
