OCR Text	Show I Turk Adopt Sunday While the Russian government has been trying to abolish Sunday, the Turkish government has just adopted the western custom of observing the first day of the week (in place of the Moslem Friday) as a day of rest. It was found so awkward to have two j such days. Public offices in Turkey closed on Friday; banks and. most places of business closed on Sunday. So it was sensibly decreed that the example of the rest of Europe should be followed, even though it was Christian.
