T riday, February 14, 1947 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The TIME: Sunday afternoon. PLACE: Dexter at Davison. S to Analyze Religion's Role Perhaps a few would be more observant but the majority would not. People, through habit, become set in their ways and a sudden change does not usually alter them. Those who would become more observant of the Sabbath are the persons who through economic r e a - sons have been forced to work on Saturdays at a sacrifice to their religious habits. The others would lie about the house, attend a ball game or go shopping. I would estimate that 99 percent would do about the same thing as those who have Saturdays free and yet do not ob- serve the Sabbath. BEN GLAZER, 4079 Fullerton av- enue, clerical worker. No, It would not. An old horse cannot be taught new tricks. We are brought up in a definite pattern. If we have fol- lowed the cus- tom of observ- ing the Sabbath and have felt deeply enough toward it, no reason whatso- ever will draw us away from t, P. that practice. ', X It is true that X , our lives are governed primarily by economic factors and that in order to hold down certain jobs and to compete with other merchants we must work on Saturdays. This has been going on for such a long time in America that the Jew is being drawn farthbr and farther away from religion. Giving him Saturday off will not draw him closer to it. MRS. SOL RICHARDSON, 3205 Tyler avenue, housewife. I do not think it would. If a person's religious convictions are not strong enough to make him a strict follower of 10 Judaism with all its precepts, then giving him a little more leeway will not draw him back. It is true, of course, that some would re- turn to the ob- servance of the Sabbath but that group would be very small and among the older persons. It is true that economically at least Jews have a good excuse for working on Saturday, yet my father has worked for a Gentile firm all his life and he still is a strict observer of the Sabbath.
