BLUE LAWS

The Mail

To The Editors of the CRIMSON:

Outside the narrow confines of the Harvard community most people in Massachusetts would endorse a policy of prohibiting ordinary business on Sunday, even closing a real estate deal. You see, most people still feel (and some would say that it is based on more than sentiment) that Sunday is the Lord's Day and should be kept holy.

When you speak about the Blue Laws, whose influence certainly will be felt more directly by the larger Massachusetts community than by Harvard, please escape from your narrow and limited point of view. Try to understand that many people do consider Sunday more than a common day of rest. They feel, even though they are not as loquacious as the representatives of the business community, that special rules should apply on that day. Robert E. Barnett 3L
