United Press International
BOSTON — The solemnity
Palm Sunday did not slow
toppers who celebrated the
id of Massachusetts’ 200-year-
dBlue Laws by flocking to re-
il stores that had live music,
ee candy and balloons for the
icasion.
Crowds poured out of chur-
tesand into department stores
id shopping centers through-
tt the state, with proprietors
iticing shoppers with bands,
imes, candy, and puppet
ows to turn the end of the
tritan tradition into a gala
casion.
“If you’re going to church
tu go in the morning. If you
int to shop you go in the after
noon,” said Evelyn Hinkley of
Gloucester, who attended ser
vices before showing up at a sub
urban mall.
“It shouldn’t be a crime for
Massachusetts citizens to go
shopping on Sundays,” state
Rep. Timothy Bassett, D-Lynn,
who spearheaded the move to
repeal the antiquated law, said
as he cut the red ribbon.
Bassett predicted the extra
day of shopping will generate up
to 15,000 new jobs, $44 million
in new tax revenues and $1.3
billion in sales.
Under the new law, liquor
stores are still not allowed to
open, and no beer or wine may
be sold at markets.

Feds ignore report
of dioxin in lakes
United Press International
WASHINGTON — EPA offi
cials urged in a 1981 draft re
port that fishing in the Great
Lakes be banned because of
dioxin contamination, but the
federal government did little to
discourage fishing, agency offi
cials say.
Regional Environmental Pro
tection Agency officials in Chi
cago recommended in the re
port in the spring of 1981 that
Great Lakes fishing be stopped
because the potential cancer
risks were too high, sources said.
But scientists at the agency’s
headquarters — along with for
mer assistant administrator
John Todhunter — eliminated
the reference, agreeing the deci
sion should be left to the Food
and Drug Administration, the
sources said.
Agency officials sharply criti
cized the resulting FDA stan
dard that oncludes there is neg
ligible health risk to persons who
eat a weekly meal of fish con
taminated with dioxin at levels
of 25 parts per trillion or less,
and minimal risk to those who
eat fish once a week at levels
under 50 parts per trillion.
EPA scientists projected in
1981 that those people face a
cancer risk ranging from 1 in
100 to 1 in 1,000 from ingestion
of the chemical, minute
amounts of which have caused
cancer in laboratory animals.
One official familiar with the
assessment termed the pro
jected risks “incredibly high,”
although acknowledging it was
not quite as high as the health
threat faced by people exposed
to dioxin in parts of Missouri.
The 1981 EPA assessment, a
copy of which was obtained by
UPI, was prepared by Donald
Barnes and Paul Brown, co-
chairmen of EPA’s Chlorinated
Dioxins Working Group.
It noted the FDA “has infor
mally pointed to 100 parts per
trillion as a level of concern” — a
level that would pose a cancer
risk of 1 in 100.
Sanford Miller, director of
the FDA’s Bureau of Foods, ack
nowledged the FDA eventually
decided dioxin levels of 50 parts
per trillion or higher were too
dangerous for human consump
tion — levels still higher than
those recommended by EPA sci
entists.
Miller stressed the federal
government has no authority to
ban fishing in state waters but
said the FDA has banned fish
sale in interstate commerce of
fish taken from contaminated
areas.
He said the FDA has urged
governors of Michigan and
other states bordering the Great
Lakes to ban fishing in areas
where dioxin levels of 50 parts
per trillion or higher are de
tected.
Dioxin contamination of the
Great Lakes drew attention in
1980, when the Canadian gov
ernment notified the United
States high levels of the toxic
chemical were found in herring
gull eggs in Lake Huron and
Lake Ontario.
