We'll Known Couple Wed Last Saturday

A wedding of wide interest in Bridgeport took place Saturday af- ternoon at o'clock in the home of Town Clerk and Mrs. Orville B. Bur ton of Long Hill. when their daugh- ter, Miss Harriet Marguerite Burton. became the bride of Louis wakeley Randall. son of Mir. and Mrs Howard Randall The ceremony was per formed by Rev. Minard Proper, pas tor of the Long Hill Methodist Epis- copal church and only the immediate families were present.
 The bride was handsomely attired in a gown of Venetian cut lace over shell pink silk. She carried a bou- quet of brides roses.
 Following the ceremony a recep- ton was held and a luncheon served. John Reck and Sons florists, had charge of the attractive decorations in the home.

 Cattle Refuse It
 All in all. from the producers standpoint, there is nothing that works a greater hardship on them than daylight saving. The habits of become uniform and their movements each day to and from pasture are all most on schedule time, and it has been found practically impossible to change them.
 Bad for Pupils
 Another point worth noting, MT. Healey said, was the fact that school teachers had complained that their pupils reacted to the attempt to change their hours, and that the early morning hour did not work to the best advantage of the children.
 Milk producers, whose farms are good distances from railroad connec- tions, and who are forced to carry trains, find it a hardship also, be- cause they are forced to begin their days work. in many cases, soon after midnight, in order to make connec- tions with the early morning milk trains, which run on standard time.
 As evidence of the fact that there is widespread continuance of stand ard time in this state, despite the daylight schedules in some quar- ters, MT. Healey; called attention to the fact that at a meeting of Ehe state board of agriculture last week. fully attended, all but one of the members carried watches that were on standard time.
 He questioned a statement made in the Hardford Times last week that daylight saving is here to stay and that this was proven because the farmers had voiced no opposition to the scheme
