DISCUSSED DAYLIGHT SAVING
 AND FAIR GROUNDS IMPROVEMENTS

Daylight saving for Norwich and the development of the New London Coun- ty Fair grounds at East Great Plain were two subjects discussed at the reg ular meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce held at noon Thursday at the Wauregan house. Pres ident C. F. Wells presided and all the directors, except two who were out of town. were present.
 The directors expressed keen regret of the recent death of Ewald R. Von Hornig who was auditor for the Cham Der and who freely offered his valuable services for it's welfare. The directors feel that the chamber mas lost the val uable services of a public spirited cit izen. Resolutions of sympathy will be spread on the records and a copy sent 10 his widow.
 It was voted to send delegates to the annual meeting of the Connecticut State Chamber of Commerce to be held in Hartford on May 34th, and 25th.
 The question of daylight saving was further considered and it was voted that "The Chamber of Commerce, hav- ing aroused public interest on the ques- tioa of daylight saving in Norwich de- fer any further action until the results of the town meeting are known" The Chamber of Commerce has performed it's function ju this matter. IL has conduct cd a referendum to it's own membership Which showed a11 in favor ard fl against or S5 merchants interviewed by the secretary 76 were in favor and 10 opposed. Of 40 industries interviewed by the secretary 37 were in favor and 3 opposed. It is apparent that the busi ness interests of Norwich are strongly in favor of daylight saving in common with the business interests of the in dustrial centers of the state. The Cham Der of Commerce. not being an official organization, cannot take any official ac- tion on the matter, and it now remains to see what the result will be of the special town meeting, which will be held to take action on this subject next Wed nesday night. The chamber. having per- formed it's function, will stand aside to await results.
 Gilbert s. Raymond was present up on invitation to discuss with the board of directors the proposed development of the New London County Agricultural Fair Grounds. Mir Raymond explained very fully what the new developments would be ard showed that if plans can be carried out to completion 1t will be distinct and pronounced advantage for the fair grounds Inasmuch as there is an average attendance of about 10000 people during the three days of the fair. and as 1t is safe to assume that fully 50 per cent of this attendance comes from outside of Norwich and it's con- fines it Is apparent that the hol7ing of a fair in Norwich is an exceptionally good asset to the community. and advertising this community in no small manner.
 Norwich has been placed through the efforts of the local officials of the New

London County Agricultural society, as one of the cities of the Bay State Raoing Circuit, and horses will be entered in these races from many states in the eastern part of the county, The de- velopment of the Agricultural Fair and the success of these fairs becomes in reality a part of the business interests of Norwich. The question of suitable street car transportation to the tair grounds was discussed, as well as were other phases of efforts to make the fair as successful as possible President Wells was authorized to appoint a spe- cal committee to assist in any man ner possible the officials of the Agricul- tural Society for tine success of the fair.
 The community advertising committee. with the appoval of the board of di rectors. has prepared a booklet stating facts and putting forth interesting in formation concerning Norwich. The booklets met the approval of the board and will be given the widest possible dis tribution, The public is welcome to se- cure copies of these booklets to mail to their friends, and the directors are hoping that the business interests of Norwich will ma,ke free use of these booklets in msilings. The board ex- rressed it's appreciation and thanks to Bon Houghon, tTe photographer, and F. LaRue Bliven of the Norwich Paper Fox Company. for their cooperation ir this matter br the free use of their services

 Attorney Wayland said that beginning in the fall of 1921. his father, who was always deeply and sincerely affection ate" became variable. and at times he showed hatred and distrust of his son. He slept little and spent nearly every night planning ways to dispose of his $1,00o,OO0 fortune and on plans to con- crete five miles of roadway in Stoning- ton at his own expense and to build a white marble hotel there to cost $1,000,- 900. He destroyed his will and told his son that he was very happy he had done so because wills were relics of bar barism,' and his son would inherit his estate anyhow.
 The petitioner said that his father then made a new willing appointing nine res idents of Stonington as executors and charging them with the duty of erecting the $1000000 marble hotel. He gave his son nothing but his choice of stick pins. The alleged incompetent sold near ly all the stock he had owned for years ill order to buy United States Rubber preferred which he said ha intended to give away to his friends.
 He declared that the stock would go to S10.000 a share and would make Standard Oil look like pint pot Con trary to his previous habits he began go- ing to tas theatre every night and al ways occupied box. He invariably said that the particular show he had seen would do more for the peace ot the world than all tha disarmament confer enceq." One night on his way home from the theatre he was knocked unconscious hy an automobile.
