Employees of Clinton Mills aren't

Daylight Saving Time ends and we set
our clocks and watches back.
Thus, the annual setback came this
year on Sunday, October 29, when
Daylight Saving Time officially ended.

that there had been many benefits
added that didn't exist in the early
days. "I like the Christmas vacation

come at a good time."
