 The annual graduation exercises of the Pomfret public schools will be held at Pomfret hall next Thursday afternoon, June 15, at 2.30 o'clock. The change to the afternoon hour was made owing to the fact that the Pom fret Schools annual parade and fire works will be held that evening.
 Pomfret still continues to be the goat" of the daylight saving muddle, while the fight has died quietly away in practically all of the surrounding towns. Of course, the farmers ad- here to the old time. Many of the summer residents having come from towns where daylight saving Is the rule. are using the new schedule in the country. In some of the inns and boarding houses daylight saving is be- ing followed. and at others standard time is followed. In those households where there are members of families who work in Putnam the new sched- ule is necessarily followed The re- suit is a ridiculous and troublesome confusion. The chief complaint re Rarding the muddle comes from those who work in places where the stand ard time schedule is maintained, since this deprives them of the usual amuse- ments of the moving pictures in Put nam as we'll as convenient shopping and banking hours. Moreover the recreation of these workers IS ham, pered, since their hours do not coin eide with the hours of those other workers who are employed where day light saving is the rule. Unless some definite schedule is generally adopted throughout the town, this confused state of affairs bids fair to continue throughout the summer months.
