Stores Open Sundays Break Weekend Tradition Across Nation
In New York and Cincinnati, retailers report a growing trend to stay open on Sundays. Albers supervisor Larry Voet says competition drives the shift as chains like J C Penney, Montgomery Ward, and Sears Roebuck test Sunday sales. The practice attracts families and working couples but raises cost concerns and clashes with blue laws in several states. The pace hinges on local competitor behavior and potential profit gains.

Meadville City Council gave initial approval to an ordinance instituting condemnation against Woodcock Township property owners Mr. and Mrs. John J Callam to obtain 5.4 acres adjoining the current dump near McGuffintown.

The action follows the city’s plan to acquire dirt and space previously used by Crawford County Land and Gravel Co. with a 1970 budgeted $5,500 for acquisition. The ordinance passed first and second readings by four of five council members.
