sembly today. Ez

there Is a nation wide propaganda for

the report said, was inaugurated at
erful amusement and sporting organ :
izations and he added that 1t has had
''the generous help Of the daily press. y
This propaganda was used as a
smoke screen to hide their real purpose
of commercial Sunday and by mis-
representations, exaggerations and q
string of lies published through the
press and In the movie houses and in
tensive advertising. extensive efforts
were made to fool the people and
make good the formers threats of wip-
ing out every ,yestige Of laws protect
ing Sunday from the statute books Of
every state in the United States" said
DR.. Bowlby.
Would End Sunday Baseball
movies, Sunday theatres and unneces-
sary Sunday business was advocated
by the report.

church Sundays" are good and help
full, the report saws, "but there would
be no urgent need Of them II we had a
popular observance of the Lords Day.
II the people properly observed the
Sabbath they will be found in the house
of God on that day"

and distractions of the day and 1t will
