Practically all the local storekeen. CTS have announced their intention of closing for the entire day Good Fri day. but will be open until 10 o'clock tomorrow evening. This action was taken following a canvass of stores by local proprietor yesterday In years past. some of the merchants had | been open until o'clock in the morn. ing while others were closed all day | This year. however, the store keep CTS feel that q definite method should 1 be followed in order to have q better feeling among the businessmen and the result was that all of them were unanimous for closing.
 With the appointment Of a mercan- tile division by the Chamber Of Com merce, this method of going around to all the store keepers 10 have them close will not be necessary. The Mer- cantile Division will be similar to the one connected with the New Britain Commerce Chamber and its duty will be to ascertain what holidays the stores will be closed and arrange for the closing and opening hours of the establishments. This will eliminate the trouble formerly found when ques- ton Of this kind comes up.
 H. Garfield Jones, manager Of the F. Hutton Clothing store, has been mentioned as chairman Of this divi- sion and has been approached on the matter by President Joseph N. Nc.
