Sabbath
League Meets
To Fight New Calendar
Bill Now in Congress
To formulate a program of
activities to deal with the threat
to Sabbath observers, Dr. Her-
bert S. Goldstein, president of the
League for Safeguarding the Fixi-
ty of the Sabbath, has called a
special meeting of its Executive
Board April 22.
The bill for calendar reform,
now before Congress (H.R. 1345),
introduced by John Kee (D., West
Virginia), provides for the adop-
tion. beginning in 1950, of the
calendar proposed by the World
Calendar Association, which in-
cludes the blank day service. This
would result in breaking the fix-
ity of the days of the week so
that the seventh day Sabbath will
not always fall on the same day
every year.
A similar proposal was intro-
duced in Congress and in the
League of Nations in 1928-1929.
At that time all national Jewish
organizations in the United States
formed the League to combat the
threat to the Sabbath.
