A few dealers, not members pi the Real Estate board, have continued to operate on Sundays.^ This is not a "blue law" appeal. Now comes the question: _"Shall we be able to continue ob- serving one day of rest or shall we go back, to the antiquated system of opei-- ating and asking householders to, on Sunday, show property to prospective^ buyers? â€"â€"â€"*â€"?

Then, also, it is to the best interests of the villages that the Sunday clos- ing become effective, the appeal ar- gues. Property owners of the north shore and^otheilresidents,it is pointed out, do not care to have their 'Svjfl day holiday disturbed by the intru- sion into their family circles> of real > estate operators and prospective buy^ ers and renters.
