A deputation representing the Evangelical Council, asked Mr Flowers to enforce the law closing fnuifr and soft drinks shops on. Bundays, One speaker suggested that the Government ought to go the whole, way and stop all Sunday train, tram and '"boat traffic. Mr Flowers, in promising that Cabinet would' give consideration to the requests of the deputation, said he 'personally favoured the old fashioned Sunday. The idea of the Puritan Sunday coiild not, however, be onitGi-tained to-day. The reaction. ,of making euch a bylaw would be so great that there was no knowing where it would stop.
