To serve the needs of the people in event of emergency, drug stores will remain open on Sunday on a rotating basis. In our opinion, a voluntary plan like this is the best way to effect Sunday closing. The record indicates that legislation cannot achieve the desired result without discrimination and hardships.

If it means being extreme enough to subject myself to the criticisms of people by participating in current con-troversial questions over what liberty means, I must plead acceptance. i If, on the other hand, the term means to engage in or encourage such lawlessness as we find in New York and St. Augustine, I am opposed.
