BLUE LAWS

The Blue Laws closing of business places SUM-
days again topic for discussion.
The Florida State Retailers Association has asked
Atty General Richard Erwin under the laws passed
by the 1858 Legislature stores shops souvenir stands and
other retail and wholesale establishments shut down
Sundays.
These Blue Laws have been the books for the past
76 however they have not been enforced in many
years.
In 1862 the Supreme Court invalidated certain ex-
empon clauses because they did not include every type
of business and discriminatory.
There seems to be good for changing the old
statue.
1t is interesting and commendabe to note that the
Dade County Liquor Dealers group of them want
the bars and package stores to close on SUNDAYS
the Dade County Commissioners Monday to consider
uniform hours.

The proposed hours said to be:
Bars and package stOreS-7 am. to am.
Night clubs - am to am
Restaurants, private clubs and hotels - am. to

Night clubs would be allowed to open at pm. on
Sunday, closing at am Monday.
Restaurants and hotels with service bars would be
allowed to make Sunday sales to their partons but bars
package stores and private clubs would remain closed
from 1 am Sunday to z am. Monday.
These hours if adopted would be quite improve

met, and met again. and again
five meetings were devoted to
L'Affaire GAIA. There was no con-
demnation voted against Egypt.
Instead. both sides were told to
behave themselves. practically
commanded to cooperate with
Gen. Burns.
Does all this add up to a suspi-
cion that the atmosphere at the
UN is unfavorable to Israel?
Viewed separately, individual
items may appear to point in that
pesSimistic direction. Actually,
however, the reverse is true. It
was Moshe Sharett who said, at
the time Israel was admitted to
the United Nations, that that
event marked ''the consummation
of peoples transition from poll
teal anonymity to clear identity"
Clearly, Israel had made its i'm
pact on the family of nations.
Through the years, its stature
here has increased. And the year
Sis saw Israers position at the
UN clearly defined as a nation to
be reckoned with.
