Desmond was arranging ‘Wednesday afternoon to have as many as possible of the members of the com- mon “couneil attend the meeting with representatives of Norwich mills and manufacturing industries. At the common council on the first Monday of April, the council voted to g0 upon the daylight saving plan, moving' the clocks ahead an hour* on Sunday, April 25, provided the New Haven rail- road adopted daylight saving. Since the railroad has decided not to touch its clocks but te change its timetables by starting its trains an hour earlier, Mayor Desmond said Wednesday that he had thought it might be a good plan for Nor- " NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSD TO CONSIDER DAYLIGHT SAVING HERE ‘How Norwich will join in the daylight APRIL 22, Y820 wich to work aleng the same line. That is, he said, not to move the clocks ahead but to have a general agreement for Nor- ‘wich that workers should go to work an hour earlier in the day and quit an hour earlier at night. This would save the hour of daylight and keep the clocks at the same time as the railroad clocks. When, however, he suggested this plan to-a number of Norwich mill operaters he found that they did not favor it, say- ing that they did not believe their em- ployes could be induced to come to work an hour earlier in any way except by moving the clock forward. They believed that the Norwich workers would be bet- ter satisfied to work by the elock which would show that they were going to work and quitting at the accustomed hours. The hands of the clock ought to show the regular work hour, they thought, and that meant turning the clock ahead an hour on the @aylight saving plan. TEAM CONFERENCE HELD ON INTERCHURCH CAMPAIG Church leaders from Norwich and vi- cinity attended an interchurch team training conference at the Central Bap- ust church Wednesday evening at T ociock in preparation for the beginning of the interchurch world campafgn that Legiug on April 25.

Tno spirit of co-operation was evident 4Rd a desire to use the few days remain- ing to the greatest advantage in prepa- ration of the various church teams which 2re 10 do the work. 1t was announced that the spirit of en- thusiasm was steadily rising in the great west and that one layman had sub- eribed one million dollars for his denom- ination, In another church, where the Toembers had hesitated to accept its quota, it was. found that a lay member had been so impressed with the world sunyey that he had already subscribed $35.000 to the campaign. Rev. Mr. Genter put emphasis upon the strong points of the great campaign and declared that the interchurch move- ment seemed God-timed. After the world war, when the world is mangled and stunned, when constituted authorities at times seem so powerless, and statesmen talls of “muddling along,” the church of Christ has lifted the cross ordered twenty miltions of Christians “forward. He showed how this was the first ap- peal the united church had made and that it was not for destruction but for construction and building the social order after the standards of Christ. He referred to the superb work of the press and that much was yet to be done with tons of literature and thousands of | posters over the entire country. Mueh emphasis was given to the public mass meeting to be held at Trinity Meth- odist Episcopal church next Sunday night, when pastors of churches with officials and choirs and members and friends will mobilize the forces for action. While speaking on The Rules of the Game, Mr. Genter il ted that everyone 1:> given a chance to jnvest in Christ's greal world program and that team work ‘was the watehword of the hour. In conclusion, he urged: Speed up, every worker, a report each day. have great faith in your cause. From the' re- vports coming in from over the land it is evident that the rosy dawn of a new day hias come for the church of God. REUNION FOR BOY CAST ~ OF Y. M. C. A.

Butternilk Creates Beanty (Ovenight The Grst appli- cation of How« ard’s Buttermilk Cream will aston- ish you. It creates beauty aImeost like magic, - but the most wonder- ful thing about it is the fact that whilst it turns the duflest and most lifeless com- plexion to radiant beauty and makes red or rough arms snowy white, yet there is not the slightest sign of its use after applica- tion. It actually vanishes from sight and the most heated gtmosphere will not produce the least shininess or greasiness of the skin. It is absolutely harmless and will neither produce or stimulate the growth of hair. Within twenty-four hours th onderful combination called Howard's Buttermilk Cream will work a marvelous _transformation. Manufactured at Buffalo, by \ Kretzer, Mystic; Sturges G.
