 lt-BowIng Game Monday Night.
 Now that ;hc question of Daylight Saving has been definitely decided iIp- on in New Britain, as the resolution was passed and acted upon at inc Common Council meeting Wednesday night Plainvllc will follow in its steps and adopt the same rule. There fore, on Monday morning, May 1, work will commence an hour earlier unless the officials of the Chamber of Commerce alters their plans. The Commerce officials, however. at the recent meeting, voted to do as New Britain does, and were awaiting the return of the decision rendered.
 The adoption of daylight saving here to conform with the surround ing cities and towns will prevent con- l fusion such as was encountered in other years when Plainvillc continued on its regular schedule.
 The people here were in favor of | the saving plan at the recent town meeting called by the fire commis- sioners, and will await the official confirmation of the Commerce prcsi- dent, who will notify the residents through the proper channels.
