 Opposition to the daylight saving plan was voiced in report offered by a com mittee comprising G. W. Davis, N. H. Hall and F. P. Barnes. The report, which was accepted, fellows:
 At the dawn of creation were uttered , by the Deity the words: Let there be : light" Ever since that time the ra- tional and productive activities of man. !. kind have been governed by the rising and setting of the sun all around the world, each people in its turn arisfng te its daily tasks at the dawn of day and
 settling to welcome repose at the passing I of the suns light and at the coming of the [ darkness. Probably no person in the en.
 tire world will deny the great wisdom oi . this arrangement of the hours of vort and of the hours of rest.
 In the midst of a dissraceful interna.
 tional squabble political tricksters of sev eral nations foisted upon their peoplei : the device craftily called by those self ! same political Ntricksters daylight saving In the midst of the trials and turmoi of war the alleged daylight saving wa.
 accepted and endured only as an emer gency measure of the war. It is indeed
 doubtful if daylight saving, so-calisd ever produced any economic or spiritua result that could not have been produce, ! by an honest-to-God, get-up-in-the-mern Y ling-and-go-to-your-work-like-a-ran spir
 it And we declare that such a spiri ' !could have been awakened by cur pro
 fessicnal national propagsndists.
 The war is over. The emergency 1 !. past Let war measures be put aside. S So-called daylight saving made nor . dificult the labors of the America |. farmer across the entire continent Chil - life in both city and country suffered tn ? loss of much needed sleep-tirne every da, |. that so-called daylight saving was in OF

 can move forward powerfully to thei
 destiny while divided in a wrangle owe = man-made time and God-made time l 1921 any more than they could whs 1t clashing in 1881 over a nation half sla7 I, and half free.

If public leaders, statesmen, politician 10 chambers of commerce. the public pres n and associations of merchants and mar h. ufacturers wish to see Connecticut citie IS more adequately sustained by Connect T. cut farms, they will see to 1t that da, H. light is used as the Almighty Create m meant it to be used, and will see to m that so-called daylight saving. adopte in intrigue and in hysteria, shall be abaI la doned in sobriety and in perpetuity. ed On this line of opposition te a renew e of so-called daylight saving by either u n cities of Connecticut, or by the state lt Connecticut, stands Preston City grang no No. 11O, Patrons of Husbandry.
