ventist who observed Saturday
rather than Sunday as the sab

Blue laws, as most people
know. are laws which restrict
the majority Of business and
labor on Sundays and some
times holidays. They vary a
lot, State to State. Some are
much stricter than others.
even TO the point of closing
places of entertainment and
prohibiting public sporting
events.
But such laws make one
wonder. How can they be valid
In a country which is consti-
tutionally prohibited from pass
ing any laws respecting reli-
gion-aS the United States is?
The answer seems to lie in
the theory behind blue laws.
For the courts have ruled these
laws to be essentially civil reg
ulations, not religious ones.
Their purpose is to promote
the public peace, good order
and morality, not by imposing
the observance Of Sunday as a
religious duty, but by enforc-
Ing the cessation of labor as
a reasonable exercise Of the po-
lice power. The former basis

King Baudouln gave up on
the dancing at that point.
Escorted by an aide, he made
the rounds Of several Bullets.
Hundreds of persons swarmed
down the corridors OF the Pa
lace of Brussels after him.
Everywhere he turned, the
crowd pushed in. People stood
on costly chairs. The womens
gowns were stepped on and
torn.
Showing his displeasure, King
Baudouin then went ct BALL
room number two. After he en-
tered the room, the grand mar
shall Of the court and some
strong assistants barred the
doors. Through the corridors
came the sound Of rock N roll.
Finally, about 3 am, King
Baudouin went home and most
Of the crowd departed.
Dinner at Home
Earlier the King, q man
whose musical tastes run to
Bach and Mozart, gave a din

King and his special guests

LIFE IN
THE COUN TRY
Keep Watch for the Barn Swallow
BY JAMES BlRcHFIELD

I must watch for the return
OF the barn swallows. Each
year think I'll surely count
the first TO return, and each
year II is the same-they are
building their nests and swoop-
ing out over the pond before
I realize they are back.
The barn swallow is one Of
my favorite birds. ! like his
graceful flight, his coloring
and the way he constructs his
nest. An engineer among birds,
I'd call him, since he builds
his balcony out from a sheer
surface.
I've seen the swallows at
work. gathering bits Of straw
and dipping the bits In mud
10 form a cement. And I've
seen the young come from the
nest on the wing, never having
to learn the art OF taking of
In flight. There is a name for
this kind Of bird, but can't
remember II.
I've noticed the last few days
that our pond population is
rising. Instead Of the single
pair Of red-wing blackbirdS
we had with us last year, we
have two pair. Both, ! hope.
will build among the cattails
down by the ponds edge.
And we have had for several
weeks now three blue wing
teals. which we hope will be
around this summer TO raise a
family. And there are now a
half dozen lesser scoups, or
bluebills. as / believe their
popular name is. They come
each year but don't stay long.
And, Of course, there are the
surinR peeners that have heen

would not be legal; the latter
basis is.
True. these laws have often
been attacked in the courts
sometimes successfully. But in
such cases the trouble usually
was that the statutes discrimi-
mated arbitrarily by permitting
some businesses to operate
while similar ones could not.
Today most blue laws permit
essential businesses to remain
open on Sunday-,1rug stores,
service stations. doctors Offices,
undertakers. food stores. res
taurants and the like. The law
figures there is a reasonable
basis for this kind OF distinc-
ton. and the Federal courts do
not interfere with State laws
as violating the Constitution
where the distinction is rea-
sonable.
But if a blue law. say. closed
pool halls on Sunday but let
the bars stay open, or closed
banks but let insurance COM
panies operate. then it might
run into trouble. OF course,
there are exceptions to blue
laws posed by problems like
unforeseen necessity or-as in
the Virginia case above-vary-
ing religious beliefs. But that's
another story.

BeIgion's King Dances
Behind Barred Doors

BRUSSELS, April 20 (Sun-
day. R.-Courtiers barred the
doors against a swarming
throng of onlookers early today
so King Baudouin would have
room TO dance with a flock OF
European princesses.
Earlier the bachelor King of
the Belgians left the ballroom
when the crush of onlookers
made dancing impossible.
The scene was the first royal
ball the 27-year-old King had
given in his seven-year reign
and the first in Belgium for "a
years.
From the expression on King
Baudouin's face, it may be a
long time before he gives
another.
Too Many People
The trouble was too many
people in too few rooms and
too much curiosity about a
monarch little known even to
his own people.
Eleven princesSes, five prin-
ces, an archduke and an arch
duchess were among the top
drawer guests. More than 5000
persons in all were invited to
the royal fling.
Blushing slightly. the King
moved out on the floor with
Princess Beatrix, heiress appar-
rent to the Netherlands throne,
in his arms.
The sight OF the retiring
young King dancing in public
for the first time was too much
for his subjects. They charged
forward.
King Gives Up
King Baudouin and the 30
year-old Beatrix were cheek to
cheek whether they wanted 1t
that way or not. That's how
much the crowd pressed in.
