canadian sunday laws have been placed iixm the statutes of our do minion xo conserve the essential val ues of the national weekly day of rest primarily fox their contribution to human health and welfare for re laxation and recuperation there is no tvwr4 to use that legislation to coerce any person into a church ser vice or to undertake religious obser vance of the day against his will the day of rest however gives opportuni ty and atmosphere for the exercise of these spiritual values which mean much to the majority of citizens to day and has a very vital place in the life of any community surely days in any week are sufficient for emphasis upon the material interests of ufe without the attempt plait the seventh day also for com mercial profit seeking yht editorial suggests that men and women should be employed on sundays to provide entertainment for ite general public and receive their rest day on some other day of the meek these are many people called upon to work on sundays to provide essential social and human service and they have to accept an other day for rest but our experi ence cnd observation reveals to us they io not regard any other day than the national weekly day

privilege why should other titjxens be called upon to forfeit their sunday rest day merely to satisfy selfish demands for amusement and entertainment prance made an experiment during last century by abolishing their sun day rest day only to discover soon that result was physical as well as moral deterioration throughout their nation during the present century russia made a similar experiment but this time they established a five day week with a stagger system of rest days ehcta of the five days of their calendar wsek fourfifths of the people were at work and one- fifth rested after about fourteen years experience wrh hat experi ment ttiey changed their calendar and returned to the uniform day of rest as a social necessity apart en tirely from any religious significance they recognized the need of the uni form day of rest as the only type of rest day that would meet the real social needs of their people here is a vital principle we dare not ig nore that is the essential principle written into the lord s day act of canada it provides ample freedom for voluntary personal recreation on sundays by individual citizens and makes no demands upon any citizen in the way of compulsory religious observance of the day the legalising of commercial enter tainment- and sports on sundays would open the door to increased sunday employment and lead to the opening of other business activities which in turn would add to the total of sunday toll this can only mean the forfeit of freedom to many o our fellow citizens and surely that can not be regarded as a necessity we believe the great majority of cana dlan citizens prise their sunday rest day too much to accept the pressure from commercial interests desiring to exploit sunday for financial gain the lordt day alliance as the representative of the christian churches in canada is dealing with fundamental jssues in safeguarding sunday from these forms of com mercial exploitation we believe so there is ample evidence of the spirit of tolerance in the freedom recognized in canadian lav for per sonal recreation on sundays we suggest there is need for similar tolerance on the part of those who would lessen the freedom of cana dlans from unnecessary toll on sun day clearing auction sale they desire to resuoxr fibacto tractor equipment v dfplehents tools and furniture the undersigned hast been instruct ed by walter it
