1t looks as though the fool killer
was badly needed up around the ses-
sion room of the Grand Rapids asso-
citation of Commerce. Some one sug-
gested that Grand Rapids adopt East
ern time, instead of Standard time
which is now the legal time in Michi-
gan and a committee was appointed
to investigate the subject. Grand
Rapids needs Eastern time about as
bad as an elephant needs Bible.
