Montreal Stores Will Close
On H0Iydays of Obligation

tion of Providence in the difficult
times through which the world was
passing today.
In the vote. however, the coun-
cillors did not follow religious
lines. A number of Catholic mem
bers opposed the recommendation
on the grounds that the measure
should apply TO all plants and bus
inesses, not merely retail stores;
that the proposal was not fair to
Protestants and other religious
minorities; that employees would
suffer the loss of pay through the
obligatory closing of the stores;
and that adjacent municipalities
which did not have such regula-
ton would benefit financially
through business places being clos
ed in Montreal.
The sponsors of the motion. Jean
Marie Savignac and Paul Dozois,
replied that actually only four days
were affected, as New Years and
Christmas were now observed by
all as holidays. They believed that
the four DAYS closing could not
cause much additional sacrifice on
the part of all concerned.

"The preamble must explicitly

ops declare.
Any reference TO religious mat

language of the first amendment

German Socialist
Leader Voices
Hatred of Church

FRANKFURT ~ 6NC) - Marxist
sntagonism to the Catholic Church
has again found expression in re-
cent utteranees of German socialist
spokesmen. Kurt Schumacher. the
socialist leader and bitterest op-
ponent of Konrad Adenauer, Chan
celIor of the Federal German Re
public, made no effort to conceal
his feelings when he told cor
respondent of a Paris newspaper
that the Socialist Democratic party
is necessarily anti-clericaI' and at
tackled the three Allied High Com
missioners as Catholics who are
the tools OF the Americans and
the Vatican" In fact. John J. Nc
Cloy, the American High Commits
sioner, as we'll as his wife are Pro
testants, while the British h and
French High Commissioners hap
pen to be Catholics.
Mr. Schumacher spoke OF the
Vatican as "the fifth occupational
power" because of the alleged in
fluence of Catholics in German
governmental affairs. In reality
Protestant influence is at least
/ equal. if not much stronger, es.
pecially as far as the number oi
high officials.
(The n. c. W. correspondent
states that German socialists are
often mistakenly called "socia a
democrats" while, in reality, they
are true sOcialists)

MONTREAL tNC)-The mu-
nicipsl council, by vote of 81 TO
%. has ruled that retail stores,
now obliged TO close on Sundays,
must also close on six holydays of
obligation. The hoiydays are New
Years, Epiphany, Ascension, All
Saints. the Immaculate Conception
and Christmas.
The vote came after three hours
of debate on recommendation OF
the Executive Committee of the
city. A majority of two-thirds was
necessary to pass the measure, and
the final vote was just one vote
more than necessary.
This was the second time that
this proposal had been before the
city council. In July, 1850, SIM
liar recommendation had been fa-
vored by IS to 30 vote, but the
necessary two-thirds majority was
lacking.
The, new regulation does not APP
ply to theaters, drug stores, flor
lists, tobacconists, confectionery
shops and news stands. which also
are allowed TO remain open on
Sundays.
The council had before it copies
of a letter from Archbishop Paul
Emile Leger of Montreal, to Mayor
Camillien Houde. pointing out that
such a law would make it easier
for the people of Montreal-in a
vast majority Catholics-to fulfill
their religious obligations on the
holydays.
Archbishop Leger also voiced
confidence that this gesture would
call down upon the city the protec-

Rev. Eugene Hillmann, CS.Sp., of

Father Hillmann's views are ex-

Since boxing has for its aim de.

Father Hillmann asserts, it can be
allowed only for very grave rea-

how much a fighter on the verge

It won't be possible to buy q
pound of ice cream in most places
for a while because, to the public,
lit makes little difference whether
it's sold by the pound or quart,
so long as it's ice cream.
That opinion was expressed yes
terday afternoon by w. A. Kerlin,
county sealer of weights and
measures of Oakland, Calf. Mr..
Kerlin spoke to delegates at
tending the 36th Conference on
Weights and Measures in the
Wardman Park Hotel.
He said public apathy is re-
sponsible for lack of success in
efforts to remote sale of ice cream
by weight. He asserted it would
be better for the public because
of the varying amount of air in
ice cream sold by the quart.
Hand packed" Problem.
"Our greatest problem is
in the so-called 'hand-packed'
units" he said. "If it is poorly
packed, and it usually is, more
and more air spaces. get in. Holes
do not count when buying dough-
nut or pretzelS by the pound. but
they certainly do when they are
sold in pints and quarts. :"
He recalled Inflated efforts in
the District four years ago, when
IA survey of sale of ice cream by
weight was made.
After considerable time and
effort was expended" he said
"and the usual adverse conclu-
sions drawn concerning the sale
of ice cream by liquid measure
public support did not warrant
taking the matter further. This
