Once Mexicans went to church on Sunday. Now they parade the streets, cheer speeches by their labor leaders. One fine Sunday recently, 25,000 CTMists (Confederation of Mexican Workers) assembled before the National Palace in the capital to hear their labor boss, large-eared, dapper Vincente Lombardo Toledano, CTM Secretary General. Shouting, waving his arms, Orator Toledano hurled imprecations at the enemies of labor. The Mexicanos were enthusiastic, but not enough to suit Toledano. Dramatically pausing, the fiery-eyed labor leader leaned forward on the rostrum to grip his listeners once more. He was going to tell them something...
...midnight every Saturday, heavy chains are stretched across the three entrances to Ocean Grove, and no automobile may enter, or move in the town's streets, until midnight Sunday. Unless they go to Asbury Park or Bradley Beach, the 35,000 summer residents of Ocean Grove go without ice cream, soda pop, postcards, films and newspapers on Sunday. Ocean Grove is the only dry community on the North Jersey coast, and in 1926 the late John Philip Sousa, concert touring, incurred its permanent displeasure by playing Follow the Swallow after he had been told a march called Wets & Drys...

Priests in heavily ornate robes stood in the pulpits of the principal Serbian Orthodox Churches in Yugoslavia last Sunday, and slowly read out the names of 141 members of Parliament, nine Cabinet Ministers, including that of Yugoslavia's Premier Milan Stoyadinovich. In Belgrade stolid worshipers listened in grim silence, but in other churches congregations throughout the countryside piously ejaculated "May He Be Damned!" as each name was pronounced...
...Every Sunday is a Labor Day in Mexico these days as CMTists (Confederation of Mexican Workers) parade the city streets, cheering their orators-chief of whom is CMT Secretary General Vicente Lombardo Toledano, hot-eyed little organizer, who looks a little like George Raft, likes to be compared to John L. Lewis. Last week, 18,000 unionists, members of the Syndicate of Petroleum Workers, had good reason to cheer. A 3,250-page, nine-volume decision in their favor was handed down by a special commission named by the Board of Arbitration to investigate Mexico's oil industry...
