News Service) HARTFORD, Conn., — Con necticut’s highest court, for the second time in as many years, upheld the constitutionality of the state’s law tightly regulating Sunday sales. In a unanimous decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors held that there was “no error” in the town court con viction of a Milford store own er, or in the subsequent refusal by the Court of Common Pleas in New Haven County to set aside the conviction. Van Cleve Shuster, owner and operator of Van Cleve’s China and Glass Store in Milford, was convicted of violating the law by selling two candles on Sun day. In his appeal to the Su preme Court he maintained that the law is unconstitutional be cause it prohibits the sale of candles on Sunday, but permits the sale of antiques. Associate Justice Samuel Mel- litz, handing down the high court’s unanimous decision, said that “in considering the validity of a classification by the legis lature of articles it may from time to time see fit to exempt from the bar of the statute. We must bear in mind that the pri mary purpose of the legislation is not to enforce an institute of religion.” While conceding that the sta tute in question, and others, may have had religious origins, Justice Mellitz declared that “they are upheld as a valid ex ercise of the police power in recognition of the fact “that the first day of the week by general consent is set apart for rest, in accord with the general experi ence of mankind that it is wise and necessary to set apart such a day at stated intervals for both the physical and moral welfare of a state or commun ity.’ ” Noting the trend to liberalize the Sunday law to permit rec reational activities, Justice Mel litz said it could be assumed that the acquisition of antiques was the pursuit of an enjoyable hobby and that “the recreation al and cultural aspects of Sun day are being furthered by per mitting such articles to be dis played or sold on that day.” He added that the exemption of antiques from the operation of the statute “rests upon fair Visitation Very Rev.

VATICAN CITY, (NC)—Vat ican City Radio comments on reckless driving stated that no amount of traffic regulations can assure ordered traffic unless drivers become conscious of their moral responsibility. “Present-day increase of traf fic gives rise to this particular ly serious moral problem,” it said. “It is the duty of each in dividual to respect life — his own and that of his neighbor — to respect his and other per sons’ health and safety. This is the duty of everyone not to cov et, but to respect the property of his neighbor; as well as not to abuse his own.
