PASSING OF WAR TIME
War time will bow out Sunday, 2 a. m. That is good
news to the public. One week after Pearl Harbor the clocks
of the nation were advanced one hour.. The idea was to
save coal and water power used to provide lighting. It was
a dumb idea for it did neither. Evei^body was forced to get
up in the dark. On the farms in particular, it did not accomp
lish a thing except to mess up the routine by forcing farmers
to get up long before dawn in order to service city dwellers.
England returns to normal time on Oct. 7. It will be remem
bered that after the first World war when Congress decided
to end the war time daylight saving, Wilson vetoed the meas-
). Px “
ure. Congress overrode the veto. Pi*esident Truman is ready
to go back to the old time system at once. He’ll not make
Wi&on's mistake.
