In Portsmouth Ohio a so called blue Sunday ended with little impact as several drug stores and all moving picture theaters stayed closed due to wartime closures. Former judge A Z Blair who disfranchised 1683 Adams county voters for vote selling opened Sunday theaters, was jailed for operating the Portsmouth Blade plant, though most cigar shops remained open and a baseball game proceeded without disruption.
