Bleachers, water foun- tains, acroens over the tennis courts and the diamonds in better shape than r before, facilitated in the conducting of an interesting base- ball league. A schedule of §6 games was played at Walnut Hill park on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Stan- ley Works team won the champion. ship. and displayed a fine brand e baseball. They entered the atat: championship meet—Stamford elin:- inated them in the first game. “The North & Judd girls’ team won the Industrial Girls' baseball “The basketball season, with nine teams playing in- the men's league and four in' the girls’, was not only successful ascially, but our finances balance.

Frank Arbour for the men and Stephanie Alzowy for the girls, were given statuettes which were furnished by Kolodney Brothers.

The Stanley Rule girls won the girls’ championship. The Industrial Council was represented at the National Bowling Congress, which was held in Richmond. ginia. Although the New Britain team did not win the championship of the United States, it certainly made a showing of which New Brit- ain can well be proud—prizes were won not only by the five-man team but also in the singles and doubles. The Stanley Rule & Level girls made a creditable showing In the state tournament held in Waterbury, last week. A bowling banquet for both men and women was held at the ‘Y’ on April 16.

Tuttla, R. A. Catlin, R. C. Schilling and Arthur Glaeser report- ed as follows: “At the opening of the council season this committee met and de- cided to abandon Bible class meet- ings because of inadequate attend- ance to maks them worth while, and the inabiltiy to secure a local eaker who eould hold such a royp together. It waa decided to adopt the idea of a cosmopelitan club composed of various members of the industrial program. Several local men in industry attended state meeting of the Y's Men's club which was held in Middletown. They were euthusiastic and invited the newly elected district governor, Harry Ma Lette of New Haven, to come to New Britain and tell us what the club was all about. He came and about fifteen heard him. He explained the purposes and ideals of the organization. Those who listened approved, but agreed that the expense involved through weekly meetings, dues, assemsments etc., was prohibitive. “Mr. Ma Lette extended an,invi- tation to those present to attend some meetings of the New Haven club. Five men went to the annual show, “The Varieties of 1927, in New Haven, met several of the members and plan to go to some of their business meetings. O ic Committee E. A. Shjerden, A. E. Church, H.

Posters also distributed in banks and churches, Slides calling the attention to Thrift, wel hown in three the- aters.

APRIL CONDITIONS REPORTED BETTER Gain for 1929 Over 1928 Re- ported by State C. of C. From a business standpoint Con- necticut was in a better condition last month than it was in April. 1928, according to the monthly busi- ness survey conducted jointly by local chambers of commerce and the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce. This improved condition is indicated by such factors as increases in number and value of building per- mits, electricity and gas consump- tion, post office receipts, bank de- posits and bank clearings and indus- trial, retail and insurance statistics. In the building line, there were substantial increases in both number and value of permits issued. Norwich showed a 400 per cent increase over April, 1928, in value of building per- mits. This was due to the permit is- sued for a new hotel. New Haven showed an increase of 76 per cent |and Torrington an increase of 50 per lcent. The figure for Bridgeport | represented practically one-third as | much building as went on during the { entire year of 1925 or of 1926. The factories in many of the com- munities reported are running on full time or from 0 to 85 per cent capacity. Retail conditions were not as satisfactory as in April, 1925, a slack in spring trade being caused by constant rainy weather. The number of real estate sales on a whole was less than those of April. 1925. but in | many cases the \alue of transactions was greater. There were increases in consump- tion of gas and electricity, in total postal receipts, in bank deposits and | bank debits in every community re- porting on these items. New Britain Statistics Secretary Benson of the New Brit- ain Chamber reported as follows: ! Building figures for April, 1929, were very much lower than in April. 1928. The exact figures are as fol- lows: April, 1925, 100 permits. valu- ation. $385.150; April 1929, 93 per- mits, valuation, $142,150.

In April, 1929, there were 204 tclephones installed and 164 removed, making a net gain for the month of 40 stations. A short- age of molders, tool and die makers, draftsmen, and other skilled metal- trade workers was reported.
