By the relatively close score ot 72 to 46, the affirmative side of the Sunday movie question carried the town the project through the special last evening in meeting held Town hall. the last minute had been clalmed as negligible, threatened the success of the movement and drove its well placed big guns into the argument so effectively as to make the vote much closer than the aftirmative claiming previously that no opposition would ~seriously hamper the move for the reconsid- eration of last fall's vote not to al- low movies on Sunday. Headed by Rev. Vernon L. Phillips, r. May B. Lord, Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, Sidney M. Cowles of Kensing- ton and Henry Kayser, tho newly formed opposition arose in the meet- ing and put up a stubborn defense. Each of the men spoke briefly on the question, the high light of the eve- ning being S. that “homes, if made more tive, would do away with the n. for Sunday evening entertainment. His address was well received by the gathering and he doubtlessly swayed many votes to the negative side of the question. Each of the local pa tors decried the need for Sunday movies. Mr. Kayser, in a scathing address, stated that Sunday movies was almost direct blasphem 1t is reported by town ofticials that last evening's meeting attracted more of the clergy and young people than any previous meeting. Ken- sington outshone the other districts, filling the hall with its residents. C. P. Lewis, tax collector, sur- attrac- ed prised the gathering when he spoke | asainst the proposed biannual elec- tion law which was recently intro- duced by Representative Claude W. Stevens. Lewis called for an an- nual election, stating that the eum | saved by the town through the new plan would not offsct the advan- tages of an annual election jection ong the first to be lodged a t Stevens' proposal. Repres ive Stevens was ap- pointed moderator of last evening's meeting with Arthur L. clerk. The orderly procedure was commended by town ofticlals today, After the opposition had laid down its barrage of highly explosive shells in the direction of the enemy’s camp, the affirmative side began i tensive. Peter Georgini, a repre- sentative of the Ttalian Fraternal society made the first statement In favor of the move, averring that New Dritain's permission of the Sunday movles should influence Berlin's vote as exclusion would be impractical with New Britain running open on Sunday evanings. George Sullivan and John McCabe joined the fight in favor.. John Moore also rose for the affirmative.
