 Central Pomona was entertained by the Plainville Grange at Grange hall today during the morning and after noon. This is the second quarterly meeting of the Pomona. the first one having been held at West Hartford. In the morning regular business was transacted and a large class of candi- dates received the fifth degree. Fol- lowing the morning session, a dinner was served to the visitors. In the afternoon, an entertainment was furnished by talent of the local Grange, in the form of a literary program. The Pomona also furnished several numbers.
 Master c. Pomeray of Meriden, at- tended the meeting and congratulated the Grange on its progress and the condition of the organization in gener- al. The Pomona is composed of mem bers of various Oranges from all over the state and it's higher organization than the Grange itself.

Complete arrange ments have not been made. The body will be taken to New Britain for burial. The method of transporta- tion has not yet been fully decided upon.
 Stores on Daylight Plan.
 Tn view of the fact that the post office will go onto daylight saving April 24, it is possible that some of the local stores will follow this rule. Selectman William Johnson inter- viewed several merchants on the proposition and they did not seem to care whether or not any change was made. Should a movement be made here. whereby the meechants would open an hour earlier. it is the general belief that 1t will be followed by all. The factory officials approve of the plan and would accept the change.
