Scots Fear The Sabbath RADIO

"PARLIAMENT " CONSIDERS FIVE-DAY WEEK
Edinburgh, November 10.
FEARS that the sanctity of Scotland's Sabbath is in
peril were expressed at a meeting here to-day of the Scottish "Parliament"-the Convention of Royal Burghs -which discussed action to safeguard the country's day of rest.
The town council of Oban submitted the following resolution:--- "Having regard to the increased secularisation of the Sabbath Day, and the consequent extension of Sunday labour this involves, this counell represents to the, convention that steps be taken to secure n five-daya working week and thus enable a weekly secular day of rest to be secured without encroaching on the sanctity of Sunday."
Baile Herbert M. McKie, of Oban, who moved the resolution, Baid it was very evident that the Scottish Sabbath as it used to be known was fast passing away.
"A DAY OF REST"
"Nowadays," he said, "we have both trains and buses running! oo Sunday.
"The Scottish people want to see their country, and we should not try to stop them for there is nothing finer which they could see.
"But I say that the masses of the people can only get that? facility on a day which should be a day of rest.
"My council feels that if they had a whole week-day free they would have an opportunity of seeing Bonnie Scotland.” THEIR
DECISION
But the Convention took the view that the encroachment of week-time, activities on the Sabbath was a subject of too great magnitude to be dealt with further at to-day's meeting, and Mr. Robert Adam, Town Clerk of Perth, muggealed that the matter be: left till the Convention meets next April. It could then be brought forward, he anid, in the form of a substantive motion.
Brille Melle agreed and the Convention approved the proposal.
