“WHAT TIME IS 117 OBSOLETE QUESTION Western Union Here Puts Stop to 800 Daily “Time Calls” Beginning tomorrow, New Britain people who have been in the habit of regulating their clocks with the aid of the Western Unijon Telegraph Co., since the telephone companies| put an embargo on this service, will | have to use the town clocks or have thelr time pieces adjusted accord- ingly. The familiar question, “Will you| please give me the correct time?” will be answered by telegraph opera- tors henceforth with “I'm sorry, but we are not allowed to tell the time | over the phone.” | Thus will another modern conven- | ience to housewives and others go into the discard. The ruling applies not to New | Britain alone but is general all over the country and is to eliminate what | telegraph people say has become a “terrible nuisance.” Between 250 and 300 people ca the New Britain office of the W tern Union Co. every day to get the| correct time, according to C. J. Mar- inan, local manager. These calls| come from men, women and chil- dren. They come at all hours of the day and right up to closing time at night. Many of them come in during | the rush hours and shortly before noon and early in the evening, Some time, according to an, three phones are me, all calls m people t to know what time it i he said, sometimes takes minutes from the sending of a t gram.
