He pointed out that if one is allowed to sell on Sunday, all establishments with an intoxicating liquor license will also be allowed to do the same. The Min- isterial Association was prepared to submit a petition and/or letter re- garding this matter. In closing, Rev. Lounsbury asked the Council to prayerfully consider any action as it is in opposition to the Word of God. Dave Neubarth and John Klawitter from the V.F.W. reported they represented all three clubs in Hutchinson. It was not their intention to be open every Sunday for the sale of intoxicating liquor but only for certain events dur- ing the year. Many of their fund raksers are held on Sundays. During discussion it was determined that the City Council would make the decision if the question on Sunday sales of intoxicating liquor could be put up for referendum or if a petition would be necessary to request a referendum on this issue.
