Montreal Students
Picket Stores Defying
Holy Day Closing Law
By the Associated Press
MONTREAL, Dec. 8.—Big Mon
treal department stores today de
fied a city bylaw and remained
open for business as usual on a
Roman Catholic holy day. The
action—aimed at forcing a court
test of the bylaw—touched off
demonstrations by French-speak
ing students.
Big crowds of Christmas shop
pers looked on while 75 students,
mostly from the University of
Montreal, paraded with placards.
The law, passed recently with
the support of Archbishop Paul
Emil Leger of Montreal, orders
closing on Epiphany, January 6;
Ascension Day, 40 days after
Easter; All Saints Day, November
1, and the Feast of the Immacu
late Conception, today.
Placards Confiscated.
The students moved from store
to store in advance of the police
squad cars, first picketing at
Eaton’s, then at Morgan’s. There
the police dispersed the demon
strators and confiscated the pla
cards.
The police said most of the
stores which decided to defy the
law by remaining open were in
the West End shopping district
of this predominantly Catholic
city.
Two officers of the Montreal
police commercial squad were as
signed to a shopping spree, buy
ing items to be used as court ex
hibits.
The five department stores
leading the fight against the law
are Eaton’s, Morgan’s Simpson’s,
Ogilvy’s and Birk’s.
Defiance Shown by Signs.
Some retailers showed their de
fiance of the legislation by paint
ing signs on their windows:
“Ferme Samedi—Overt Dimanche”
—Closed Saturday, Open Sunday
—or “Forced to Close Saturday."
Early in the day business and
shopping districts were virtually
deserted while Catholics attended
mass. By mid-morning, however,
Christmas shoppers converged in
large numbers on the St. Cather
ine street stores.
Some small concerns also op
ened after giving their Catholic
employes time to attend the holy
day masses. They risked a $40
fine, but expected good business
from shoppers given the day off
from work.
The stores had advertised in
the English-language newspapers
yesterday.
Work on 18fh Street Halts
Until After Christmas
The District Highway Depart
ment has granted a Christmas re
prieve to the merchants along
Eighteenth street N.W. between K
street and Connecticut avenue
from the upheaval of street
widening operations.
A petition from businessmen
asking that the work on the west
side of the street be postponed
so as not to interfere with their
Christmas trade had been sent
to Commissioner J. Joseph Dono
hue.
The Highway Department at
present Is completing work on
the east side of the street, and
expects to have It done this week.
The roadway is being widened
from 30 to 44 feet.
'People's A and B'
Dignified Her Act,
Lili St. Cyr Says
By th« Aisociotad Pran
BEVERLY HILLS. Dec. 8 —
Six-foot charmer Lili St. Cyr has
rested her case without showing
a jury the dance she gave at
Ciro’s night spot October 19.
Sheriff's officers barged into her
dressing room that night, con
fiscated her brassiere and panties
and arrested her on charges of
giving a lewd and nude act.
The bra and panties were
marked “people’s exhibits A and
B” in the trial. The blond Lili,
a sure, soft-voiced witness, told
the jury that the people’s A and
B were always on her when she
did the dance at Ciro’s. She left
the inference that the sheriff’s
raiders must be lynx-eyed because
they surely saw things she didn’t
do and apparently failed to see
others that she wore.
Lili’s dance, billed as “Inter
lude Before Evening,’’ command
ed $15 cover charges at some of
the desert night spots, but the
sheriff’s boys decided it was en
tirely too hot for the city.
Although contradictory to the
testimony of the sheriff’s raiders,
Lili’s recital left just a hint that
her act might have been tactfully
suggestive, but there was a re
jbuke for any one who would im
i pute to her anything but the
: highest of motives.
Lili even consented to show her
j high-priced lawyer, Jerry Giesler,
how she stepped out of a bath tub
at Cairo’s into a 6-by-5-foot beach
towel held by her colored maid.
Dances Thrive on Frowns '
Despite, or because of, the fact
that the authorities of Stellen
bosch and Cape Town universi
ties, South Africa, frown upon
dancing, as many as three dances
! often are held at the same time
jin the two universities, observers
have noted.
